The Ruger Precision Rifle AICS Short Action Magazine in .223 Remington/5.56x45mm is a purpose-built 10-round magazine engineered for shooters running Ruger Precision Rifles and Gunsite Scout Rifles in those calibers. Built from 60% glass-filled polymer, this magazine combines lightweight handling with the durability needed for range sessions, tactical training, and field use. The stainless steel spring ensures reliable feeding while resisting corrosion in varied conditions—whether you're shooting at the bench, in competition, or in the field.

This AICS-pattern magazine is designed to work with many AI-style bottom metal assemblies chambered in .223 Remington-sized cartridges, as long as your ammunition stays within the 2.50" cartridge overall length specification. The integrated dust cover protects your rounds from damage and debris during transport and storage, keeping your ammunition clean and ready when you need it. Available exclusively in black with the Ruger logo, it's a straightforward, no-nonsense accessory that feels at home in a precision rifle setup.

Ruger manufactures this magazine in the USA. Before ordering, note that magazine sales are restricted to certain states and localities; Ruger cannot ship to Connecticut residents or to Brooklyn, Buffalo, New York City, or Rochester, New York due to local regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this magazine work with other rifles besides the Ruger Precision Rifle?

Yes. While designed for the Ruger Precision Rifle and Gunsite Scout Rifle, this magazine is built to AICS pattern and is compatible with many AI-style bottom metal assemblies, provided they're chambered in .223 Remington or 5.56x45mm NATO and your ammunition respects the 2.50" cartridge overall length maximum. If you're unsure whether your rifle's bottom metal is AICS-compatible, verify the specifications with your rifle's manual or manufacturer.

What's the difference between .223 Remington and 5.56x45mm NATO in this magazine?

This magazine is designed to function reliably with both cartridges as long as your ammunition doesn't exceed 2.50" cartridge overall length. Both rounds are similar enough in case diameter and length that they'll feed from the same magazine, though some shooters prefer to segregate ammunition by precise load specifications.

Does this magazine come with a dust cover?

Yes. The magazine includes an integrated dust cover to protect your rounds from damage and debris when the magazine is transported or stored.
