Ruger SR-556 5-Round Magazine - Black

Ruger 5-Round Magazine

This is Ruger's own factory magazine for the SR-556 and AR-556 rifles, holding five rounds of 5.56 NATO or .223 Remington. A short magazine suits hunters in areas where regulations cap magazine capacity, and shooters who want a low-profile magazine on the bench or when firing prone. The steel body and orange follower match what Ruger supplies with its own rifles.

Features

• 5-Round Capacity — Holds five cartridges, a common limit for hunting and for ranges that restrict capacity.
• 5.56 NATO And .223 Remington — Feeds both cartridges, and the body is stamped 223/5.56 so you can confirm the calibre at a glance.
• Heat-Treated Steel Body — Heat treatment hardens the steel so the body resists denting and bending, and the pressed vertical ribs along each side add stiffness.
• Anti-Tilt Orange Follower — The follower is the plastic platform that pushes rounds up, and its anti-tilt shape keeps it level so the stack does not bind, while the bright orange makes an empty magazine easy to spot.
• High-Tensile Steel Spring — A strong spring keeps steady upward pressure on the rounds for consistent feeding.
• STANAG-Pattern Fit — Built to the STANAG pattern, the NATO standard magazine shape used by AR-15 style rifles, so it seats and locks in a standard magazine well.
• Black Finish — A matte black coating covers the steel body and matches most rifle finishes.
• Ruger Factory Part — Made by Ruger for its own SR-556 and AR-556 platforms, not by a third-party maker.

Fit And Construction

The magazine is sized to Ruger's SR-556 and AR-556 rifles and follows the STANAG pattern those rifles share with the wider AR-15 family. The body is heat-treated steel with a high-tensile steel spring and a polymer anti-tilt follower. Calibre markings are stamped into the side.
