Surefire High-Capacity magazines provide distinct tactical advantages: increased initial firepower in ambush situations; fewer reloads overall, which means less downtime and target distraction in a firefight; fast and easy magazine insertion, even with a closed bolt; less bulk compared to drum mags, enabling a normal weapon grip. The 60-round magazine, slightly thinner than two 30-round magazines clipped together and about the same overall length, fits in most dual magazine pouches and eliminates special carry pouches required for drum magazines.
*Separate Order Required For High Capacity Magazines – Orders for high-capacity magazines must be placed separately from orders for other products, and a separate shipping charge will be applied for the magazine order.
