Charles Daly® Factory OEM 12-Gauge 5-Round Shotgun Magazine – Fits All Magazine-Fed Models Including AR-12S, N4S, and Honcho – Black Coated Steel – 470.073
Product Description
The Charles Daly® Factory OEM 12-Gauge 5-Round Shotgun Magazine (470.073) represents an unyielding, duty-ready mechanical baseline in semi-automatic and pump-action shotgun logistics, masterfully engineered to maintain flawless cycling speeds across Charles Daly's entire magazine-fed tactical lineup. Purpose-built as an essential primary resource or an field-ready backup cell, this 5-round steel repository ensures absolute mechanical harmony with your shotgun's bolt velocity, feed-ramp geometry, and extraction cycles. While third-party, universal generic aftermarket magazines frequently skimp on material thickness—causing soft feed lips to bend out of alignment under continuous spring tension and inducing catastrophic stovepipes or nose-diving malfunctions—this genuine original equipment manufacturer (OEM) assembly completely overrides those structural risks. This field-vetted asset (053800940580) serves as an indispensable foundation for home defense staging, high-tempo tactical drills, and rugged wilderness hunting applications.
The core structural foundation of this high-efficiency shotgun cell is precision-stamped from premium, heavy-gauge structural carbon steel alloy sheet metal. Formed to handle intense physical impacts, violent slide racking force, and aggressive drop stress onto hard outdoor range floors during high-speed tactical administrative reloads, the steel housing entirely avoids sidewall warping. The metal shell is treated with a highly durable, low-friction black oxide anti-wear coating. This specialized surface shielding lowers mechanical resistance inside the shotgun's magazine well to facilitate instantaneous, drop-free manual gravity extractions, while creating an effective defensive barrier against sweat, moisture, and chemical solvent exposure on the bench.
The true operational triumph of this American-distributed, factory-original masterpiece lies in its internal stabilization geometry and multi-shell length compatibility. Optimized to feed both **2.75-inch and 3-inch magnum heavy-payload 12-gauge shotshells**, this magazine easily shifts between standard tactical buckshot, high-velocity defensive slugs, and heavy hunting birdshot strings. The internal drive system implements a **self-lubricating, high-visibility anti-tilt polymer follower** powered by a computer-tempered, high-tensile steel wire coil spring motor. This combination guarantees uniform upward lifting energy from the first shell loaded down to the final empty hull, keeping your weapon system running smoothly. Completed by deep, precision-machined external handling grooves that provide high-traction finger manipulation blocks during wet weather scenarios, this 0.62-pound powerhouse brings absolute tactical authority downrange.
Includes: (1) Charles Daly Factory OEM 12-Gauge 5-Round Steel Shotgun Magazine Assembly (Low-Friction Matte Black Finish, Anti-Tilt High-Visibility Follower, High-Tensile Steel Wire Compression Coil, Heavy-Duty Steel Baseplate), Packed in Original Factory Retail Distribution Staging Packaging.
*Safety/Fitment & Shell Configuration Guidance: The Charles Daly 470.073 magazine is calibrated exclusively for 12-gauge shotgun platforms natively configured for detachable box magazines; do not attempt to force 20-gauge or alternative bore diameters into this shell. It is engineered to fit all Charles Daly magazine-fed shotguns—including the AR-12, AR-12S, N4S Bullpup, and Mag-Fed Honcho series. Due to standardized industry footprints, it also widely cross-fits several common Turkish and Filipino-manufactured MKA 1919-style 12-gauge shotguns. Prior to staging, ensure your ammunition payload matches the chamber length specified on your shotgun barrel (2.75" or 3" shells max); never load oversized 3.5" super-magnum hulls into this magazine tube footprint.
