Mission First Tactical AR-Magazines

By Aaron

MFT_Logo

Mission First Tactical has made their name famous for developing several innovative firearm products, and one tongue-in-cheek trademark question, “Are you a M’Fer?” This year at SHOT Show Mission First Tactical announced they are now offering their very own AR-15 magazines. The first offerings will be their Standard Capacity Polymer Magazine (SCPM556) with a 30-round capacity, and their 10-round Polymer Magazine (10PM556).

The 4-way snit-tilt and self-lubricating follower will provide outstanding reliability in feeding.

Mission First Tactical AR-15 Magazine

The Mission First Tactical Standard Capacity Polymer Magazine, is engineered as an enhancement of the standard STANAG AR-magazine design. From a stippled texture on the side of the magazines, to the reduced profile front ribs, the MFT Standard Capacity Magazine provides the shooter a greater grip surface for withdrawing from pouches, loading, and stripping. The MFT magazines are designed for 5.56mm rifles, but function flawlessly in .223 Rem, and .300 AAC caliber platforms as well.

MFT Standard AR-magazine Features (SCPM556):

  • Material – Polyamide from DuPont’s Military Plastic Division
  • Stippled side grip texture
  • Low profile front ribs – on 30-round model only
  • Flared floor plate with paint pen dot matrix for identification
  • Compatible with single, double, and triple magazine pouches
  • (2) Drain holes ensure proper function during wet weather
  • Tool-less disassembly
  • Double floor plate safety release tabs
  • Long-life, stainless steel spring
  • 4-Way anti-tilt follower for reliable feeding
  • Oversized magazine catch notch
  • Designed to fit most AR-15 rifles
  • Made in the USA
  • Lifetime Warranty
  • MSRP – $14.99 for both 30-round and 10-round versions.
The stippled gripping begins to taper towards the rear of the magazine.

The Mission First Tactical magazines have a flared floor plate which provides an additional tactile advantage when extracting magazines, particularly during wet conditions where a shooter’s hand might slip even on textured sides. The flared floor plate also provides additional drop protection as well, without interfering with storing or stacking magazines in pouches.

The flared floor plate with double safety release tabs allows tool-free maintenance, drop protection, and secure construction to avoid accidental ammo drop.

The magazine’s double floor plate safety release tabs allow the shooter to safely release spring tension for magazine maintenance or quick ammo dumps. The same safety release tabs ensure that accidental ammo dumps do not occur. The oversized mag catch notch on the rear of the magazine, along with a self-lubricating four-way anti-tilt follower provide assured fit and function. 

These magazines appear to be high quality polymer magazines, with a similar appearance to the popular Troy Battlemags. However, the late entrance and higher MSRP of the MFT magazines than several other popular and successful polymer magazines (like Magpul), may make them more of a specialty item or MF’er favorite, rather than the new mainstream magazine choice.

The Mission First Tactical 10-round magazine has all the same features except the stippled grip texture.

    These magazines look nice, fit nice and feed nice. The big problem is the feed lips are extremely weak. Load em up and toss the mag on a table and rounds will pop out. The same thing happens when you slam the mag into the mag well with any force. I wouldn’t recommend these. Sad I bought so many but they were on sale for $8.00 each. Range use only.

      Jason thanks for this great feedback! I just recently purchased (2) of these magazines for testing so I’m going to be extra mindful and cautious based upon your experiences. Mission First has produced some good quality products before, and I was hoping these magazines were going to be a solid option.
