The Area 419 Universal Magazine Extension in gold (Area 419 part no. 419-MAG-EXT-GOLD) is built to add capacity to ARC, AICS and Accurate rifle magazines. Instead of a plain rectangular block, Area 419 cut the attachment rail at an angle to the pocket in the magazine, so the column of cartridges runs straight down into the extension. Fluting around the sides gives you a grip point for magazine changes and takes out some weight. The gold color makes it easy to tell which magazines in the bag are the extended ones.

Key Specifications

• The color is gold, one of the color options Area 419 offers.
• The attachment rail is cut at an angle to the magazine pocket, which keeps the cartridge column straight.
• It is cut in a single operation on a 4th axis mill, which is how Area 419 produces the angled rail.

• It works with ARC 10-round, AICS 5- and 10-round and Accurate magazines, in standard bolt face or on SAUM/WSM magazines, but not on .223.
