The MDT 3-round MED metal magazine in .30-06 and 6.5×55 Swede (brand part no. 105879BLK) is a compact, nitrided steel magazine for medium-action MDT chassis and rifles. MDT designed its double-stacked single feed system to build a shorter magazine with smooth feeding, added clearance and less snagging. Adjustable feedlips help it feed reliably, and a removable floor plate makes maintenance easy. It is a solid fit for hunters and precision shooters running a longer short-action or shorter long-action cartridge.
