The Lancer L5AWM Gen2 20-round magazine in smoke is engineered to provide a robust and consistent feeding solution for AR-pattern firearms chambered in .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO. This design integrates a patented hybrid construction, combining the reduced weight and inherent corrosion resistance of polymer with the critical strength of hardened steel feed lips. This methodology directly addresses common points of failure observed in traditional polymer magazine designs, significantly enhancing structural integrity and long-term operational reliability.
The Gen2 iteration of the L5AWM features a redesigned feed lip geometry. These enhancements are specifically implemented to mitigate wear, prevent deformation, and resist bending or cracking under sustained firing schedules, across a broad spectrum of operational temperatures, and during extended storage periods. The 20-round capacity optimizes the magazine’s profile, maintaining a compact footprint while providing sufficient ammunition for diverse applications, including field deployment or adherence to specific range regulations.
Key Features
Hybrid Steel/Polymer Construction
The magazine body is constructed from an impact-resistant polymer, offering reduced weight and superior corrosion resistance. This is synergistically paired with hardened steel feed lips, precision-integrated to provide maximum structural rigidity at the critical interface with the firearm’s receiver. This hybrid approach delivers a resilient feeding system capable of enduring demanding operational cycles.
Enhanced Gen2 Feed Lips
The re-engineered feed lip configuration is designed for superior ammunition retention and presentation. This optimization directly contributes to mitigating common feeding malfunctions, ensuring consistent and reliable cycling across varied ammunition types and environmental conditions.
20-Round Capacity
This capacity strikes an optimal balance between ammunition volume and magazine footprint. It maintains a compact profile, ideal for prone shooting, vehicle operations, or when minimizing the overall weapon length is a tactical advantage. It also complies with capacity restrictions in certain jurisdictions or competitive divisions.
Translucent Smoke Body
The smoke-tinted translucent polymer body provides immediate and unambiguous visual assessment of remaining ammunition. This capability is critical for proactive load management and reducing downtime during dynamic engagements or training scenarios.
Platform Compatibility
Fully compatible with all standard AR-15 pattern firearms, this magazine reliably cycles both .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO ammunition, ensuring broad applicability across various rifle configurations, including precision rifle platforms.
