The Lancer L5AWM Gen 2 30-Round 5.56 AR-15 Magazine in translucent urban dark earth, or UDE (Lancer part no. L5-G2-30-TUD), is the Gen 2 version of Lancer’s Advanced Warfighter magazine. It uses a steel and polymer hybrid design with hardened steel feed lips and a redesigned geometry for consistent feeding. At 3.8 ounces it is among the lightest professional-grade 30-round magazines, which keeps a loaded carbine from getting heavier. The advanced floor plate lock design optimizes the cartridge stack, while the translucent UDE body lets you see your rounds. Built for 5.56 NATO and .223 Remington AR-15 rifles, this Lancer Systems magazine is a tough everyday spare.
