Best 300 Blackout Magazine

Top 16 Best Magazine For Diamondback 300 Blackout

Earlier many shooters had to use a magazine designed for another cartridge, using .300 Blackout in the AR-15 rifle, limiting its compatibility and performance. As a rule, 5.56x45mm becomes an alternative because of both cartridge parts’ compatibility.

Why do we need 300 Blackout Magazines?

It is better to choose a magazine specially chambered in .300 Blackout, because of increasing overall reliability, safer way to feed this round without dangerous cross-loading issues.

Caliber: .300 AAC Blackout; .223 Remington, 5.56x45mm NATO

There are particular molded .300 Blackout markings on the magazine body exterior.

CompMag 10-Round Compliant Locked Magazine

View on OpticsPlanet

Specification

Color: Black
Finish: Black Oxide
Fabric/Material: 17-7 Stainless Steel
Magazine Capacity: 10 Round
Caliber: 5.56x45mm NATO
Gun Model: AR-15
Additional Features: Easier to load than standards magazine, the follower can be retracted to load

The mags fit apart from standard AR-15 type lowers (M4, M16, AR15), also firearms, which accept STANAG (AR-15) magazines and have removable upper receivers (the Bushmaster ACR, SCAR16, CZ Bren, Daewoo DR200, SIG MCX, and SIG 556. But they are not paired with lowers, which are outfitted with a custom or extended magazine well (such as Sharps Bros, Seekins SP225, Spike’s Jack, and HKMR), or with BullPup guns such as the Tavor.

Video review

Pros
  • Lifetime Warranty

  • Easier to load than standards mags (no heavy spring to push each round against)

  • Operates with .223, 5.56, .300ACC Blackout, and .277 Wolverine Ammo

  • Fixed installation methods allow the customers to modify their mags up to them, while keeping the favorite AR-15 features, such as pistol and forward grip, flash hider, and retractable stock

  • No pins to pull out to reload

  • One screw mounting: no holes to drill

  • Fully loads on a closed or open bolt

  • Crush resistant FRP composite (G.F. Nylon 6) construction, which sidewalls are thicker than most polymer mags

  • No fumbling with extra parts or loaders

  • The follower can be retracted to load

  • CA compliant version

Cons
  • Pricey

  • False advertising: the neat loading design doesn’t feasibly help cleaning a jam

  • A locked mag AR-15 is allowed in California: but this magazine isn’t appropriate as even after max turning the screw, it can be pulled off with the little pin

#4 Duramag Speed  Aluminum Rifle Magazine

Duramag Speed  Aluminum Rifle Magazine

View on OpticsPlanet

Specification

Fabric/Material: 6061-T6 Aluminum
Caliber: 5.56x45mm NATO, .300 AAC Blackout, .223 Remington
Gun Make: AR Platform
Gun Model: AR-15
Gun Type: Rifle
Additional Features: Lightweight and durable
Included Accessories: 1 Mag Sealed Plastic Bag, 50/case

The Speed magazine is an improved version of the battle-proven USGI one, which is good for OEM, Law Enforcement, and Military units. These CPD mags are equipped with the new snap anti-tilt follower. The body is constructed from heat-treated aluminum (6061-T6), delivering sturdiness with only a slight increase in weight. The due rounds’ stacking improves thanks to a combination of the .020-gauge material in stainless steel with the increased inner dimensional room, significantly decreasing jams failure.

Video review

Pros
  • Lightweight, but durable

  • The Stainless-Steel Magazine outperforms the mil-spec aluminum one in every test

  • A wide range of colors is part of both anodizing process and metal

  • An orange follower

  • Safe for extended storage while loaded without flex or swell like polymer

  • The technology of fully automated robotic welding stations is used, ensuring high-quality welding

Cons
  • Impossible to get a full 5 rounds: it seems they just haphazardly crimp the mags stopping the follower from taking full capacity

  • The body is far from Aluminum it seems to be some kind of powdered metal or just cheap pot-metal: after dropping the mag on the ground, a large chunk broke off its bottom sending the spring flying out

  • The loading and unloading area is sharp and tends to snag

  • Low quality and poorly assembled: the teeth that hold the bottom plate can be easily broken

  • The paper-thin follower appears to be some type of ABS plastic

  • Looking like you have 20 rounds (but you don’t): it’s a magazine for 20 rounds that is crimped on the outside so the follower can only go down a 10-round depth

#5 MDT Polymer Detachable Box Magazine

MDT Polymer Detachable Box Magazine

View on OpticsPlanet

Specification

Color: Black
Fabric/Material: Polymer
Magazine Capacity: 10 Round
Caliber: .223 Remington
Quantity: 1

This high-quality polymer magazine with tempered-steel spring operates well with the ACC, MDT TAC21, ESS, XRS, LSS-XL, and LSS Chassis systems, and many other M24 type chassis and bottom metals. But the mags do not fit the following inlets: Browning X-bolt, Ruger American in 204/ 223/ 556/ 300 AAC, Winchester XPC (may need fitting in Winchester Model 70). According to the customers’ feedback, some systems may need adjustment: KRG X-Ray, XLR Chassis; GRS rifle stocks, CDI Precision bottom metals, Pacific tool, and Gauge bottom metals are configured for AICS mags; 223 Magazine requires feed lip fitting and modifications to the inner ribs; 300 Blackout AR-15 mags may not feed on an AICS magazines in the bolt action rifle.

Pros
  • A detachable box mag makes loading of bolt-action rifle easier and quicker than an inner magazine, being ideally suitable for range training and competitive target shooting

  • Easy to load, and release

  • Put a Savage Axis 300 blk in the LSS chassis: the 223 mag runs with 300 blk in a savage axis and is very smooth

  • Pretty sturdy for the range

  • Works for the Magpul hunter stock for .204 Ruger after removing a bit of material from the top front and rear

  • Functions flawlessly with factory ammo

  • Longer OAL Friendly: good for heavy bullets like the Berger VLDs and Hornady ELD-Ms for bolt action rifles, can be loaded as long as 2.4 in with no feeding issues

  • Dependable as spare mags for hunting or competition

  • Operates well on the newer MDT LSS chassis and a Brownells branded MDT chassis for a Tikka T3, no fitment issues

  • Fits the Remington 700 .223 ACIS DBM like a glove, the price, and mags quality are great

Cons
  • Remington M700 SA .223 installed in AICS Stage II setup: rough fit, doesn’t lock up in mag well and load sequence is rough and troublesome

  • Feed lips cannot be adjusted, not convenient for any plastic magazine
