Lancer’s all-new patented steel/polymer hybrid L5AWM GEN 2 magazines have been redesigned to deliver class leading durability, functionality, performance, and reliability. The L5AWM GEN 2 features a precision engineered, hardened steel feedlip geometry and advanced floorplate lock design that delivers optimized cartridge stacking, enhanced round presentation, exceptional round retention, and bulletproof feeding performance and reliability. The L5AWM GEN 2 body is molded with proprietary polymers and features Lancer’s traditional aggressive surface texturing that permits improved user purchase, particularly during active engagements and in humid environments.
At 3.8 oz., the L5AWM GEN 2 is the lightest weight professional grade magazine on the market, and up to 36% lighter than other polymer magazines. Because the L5AWM 5.56 magazine utilizes the hybrid design of steel feed lips and polymer body, they were able to make use of a special unfilled polymer to give it a translucent quality, allowing the user to identify how many rounds are left in their magazine without needing to remove it from their rifle. The polymers used in this magazine provide corrosion and chemical resistant qualities and easily pass military chemical testing.
The L5AWM GEN 2 is compatible with modern weapon systems, including M4/M16/AR15, SCAR16, HK416, and numerous other variants chambered in 5.56x45mm /.223 Remington. Survives over 122% more 5-foot drops on concrete than the nearest competitor in Department of Defense TOP testing. Designed, tooled, manufactured, and assembled in the USA.
