MDT Short Action AICS 308 Winchester 6 5 Creedmoor 10 Round Steel Magazine with Binder Plate Black 102013 BLK UPC 990482720056
Product Description
The MDT® Short Action Metal AICS 10-Round Magazine (SKU: 102013-BLK / UPC: 990482720056) is engineered for precision rifle competitors, long-range tactical marksmen, and hunters demanding fail-safe cartridge delivery in mission-critical environments. Built to strict Short Action AICS interface tolerances, this magazine reliably stages 10 rounds of .308 Winchester, 6.5 Creedmoor, and associated short-action cartridges directly inline with the action bolt face. By integrating MDT's proprietary Double Stack to Single Feed (DSSF) geometry, this magazine achieves an ultra-compact exterior footprint that minimizes positional snag points and enhances prone stability across barricades, shooting bags, and field bipods.
Constructed from high-tensile heat-treated carbon steel, the magazine body is nitrided for extreme case hardness before being completely sealed inside and out with Cerakote Elite Black. This dual-layer metallurgical treatment guarantees self-lubricating surface slickness, maximum resistance to salt spray and corrosive fouling, and exceptional protection against bore-cleaning solvents and abrasive range grit. Precision-stamped internal feed ribs stabilize cartridge alignment during recoil impulse, while the smooth-running steel follower and heavy-gauge tempered spring maintain continuous, linear upward column tension without tilt, drag, or premature lip spread.
Configured specifically with a factory front binder plate, the 102013-BLK solves common feeding hangups encountered in standard factory actions. The binder plate maintains cartridge seating back against the rear wall and guides bullet meplats cleanly over the lower receiver feed ramp, eliminating nose-dive stoppages and tip shearing. Sized to handle cartridge overall lengths up to 2.870 inches, it is the premier plug-and-play steel AICS magazine solution for factory ammunition and standard SAAMI specification match loads in custom and production bolt guns alike.
*Armorer Bench Notes & Real-World Staging Guidance:*
Fitment Matrix: Fits standard Short Action bolt-action chassis and Detachable Box Magazine (DBM) bottom metals patterned for AICS footprint magazines, including MDT, KRG, MPA, Foundation, Badger Ordnance M5, and Hawkins Precision systems. Chambered for .308 Win, 6.5 Creedmoor, 6mm Creedmoor, .243 Win, .260 Rem, and 7mm-08 Rem. CRITICAL: Maximum Cartridge Overall Length (COAL) is 2.870 inches. Handloads exceeding 2.870 inches will bind against the front plate and require MDT non-binder plate models (MPN 102917-BLK). Does NOT fit factory hinged floorplates (BDL), factory Tikka T3x CTR bottom metal, or Savage/Ruger factory rotary setups without AICS conversion. Howa 1500 Short Action installations may require minor bench stone profiling of the rear magazine catch engagement lug.
- Ensure the host firearm is completely clear, magazine removed, and chamber visually and physically verified empty.
- Inspect the chassis or DBM magazine latch to verify correct latch spring tension and check that the magazine well is free of debris or burrs.
- Insert the empty MDT magazine vertically into the magwell until the rear locking lug snaps past the bottom metal latch with a crisp, audible click; verify vertical lockup without binding.
- Stage inert dummy cartridges to confirm that overall cartridge length sits comfortably within the 2.870-inch binder plate threshold, ensuring tips do not touch the front plate.
- Perform an armorer cycling check with inert dummy ammunition, validating positive bolt face rim pickup, smooth transition across feed lips, crisp extraction, and solid barricade-rest clearance.
Key Features
- High-Strength Heat-Treated Steel Body: Stamped carbon steel architecture resists feed lip bending and impact deformation during aggressive positional barricade transitions.
- Dual Nitride & Cerakote Elite Finish: Provides superior corrosion protection, high surface hardness, and an ultra-slick, low-friction exterior and interior slide pathway.
- Integrated Front Binder Plate: Restricts cartridge shift under violent recoil, protecting delicate projectile meplats and guiding rounds reliably over standard receiver feed ramps.
- DSSF Low-Profile Compact Geometry: Double Stack to Single Feed transition reduces rear magazine height to 3.90 inches, providing up to 0.75 inches more ground clearance than competing 10-round steel magazines.
- Anti-Tilt Steel Follower: Geometry-matched steel follower driven by a high-grade spring guarantees constant, even upward presentation from round one through ten.
- Internal Friction-Reduction Ribs: Embossed side ribs guide the case tapers smoothly while minimizing internal friction and grit accumulation inside the mag body.
