AR15 Magazines – Magazine Buyers Guide

The 30-round magazine is the standard for the AR15, and the most common rifle magazine in America. Aluminum GI magazines and polymer magazines both work well. Look for anti-tilt followers and quality springs.

Capacity options

10 and 20-round magazines are handy for hunting, the bench and the prone position. 40-round magazines, the Surefire 60 and 100, and drums push capacity higher at the cost of weight.
