FAL Magazine

The United Defense FAL Magazine is a 20-round, metric-pattern steel magazine chambered for .308 Winchester / 7.62x51mm NATO. Built with a stamped steel body, steel follower, and steel spring, it drops into FN FAL, DSA SA58, and other metric-pattern FAL rifles without modification. Cleanly machined feed lips, a bolt-hold-open follower, and witness holes give you the reliability and round-count visibility you expect from a service-grade rifle mag. A solid choice for FAL owners stocking up for range work, training, or long-term storage.

    Finally New-Production FAL Mags That Actually Run

    If you own a FAL, you know the magazine situation has been grim for years. Surplus metric mags are either beat to death, rusted internally, or priced like they're made of gold. The DSA polymer mags were a nice idea but I've had two crack feed lips on me. Thermolds? We don't talk about Thermolds. So when I saw United Defense was making new-production steel metric mags with a parkerized finish, I ordered three with cautious optimism. They arrived individually bagged, well-oiled, and honestly looked better than I expected. The parkerizing is even and correct that matte grey-green phosphate that matches a surplus FAL perfectly. Feed lips are cleanly machined, no burrs, no rough edges. The witness holes line up with actual round count (you'd be surprised how many aftermarket mags get this wrong). Loaded all three to 20 rounds of Malaysian surplus 7.62x51 and ran them through my DSA SA58. Zero failures. Bolt held open on empty every single time. Even did a few rapid-fire strings to see if the spring could keep up no issues. 've been burned by "new production" FAL mags before. These are not that. These are what DSA should have been making all along instead of pushing polymer. I'm ordering five more before the word gets out and the price climbs.

    -New production steel no surplus lottery, no rust, no dented bodies
    -Parkerized finish is correct for the platform and actually resists corrosion

    -Slightly tight in my DSA receiver at first seated fully but required a firm push. Loosened up after a few insertions.

    Bought my first one of these last year and it held up so well I just kept buying more whenever I had extra cash. This is my third. Same story every time, drops in clean to my SA58, bolt hold open works, feeds fine. I dont shoot as much as I used to since the kids take up all my range time now but when I do get out there these never let me down. Basically bulletproof for the price, no pun intended.

    Consistent quality across multiple purchases
    Reliable bolt hold open every time
    Affordable enough to stock up gradually

    Nothing really, wish I had more range time honestly
