AICS Magazines

AICS pattern magazines dominate both recreational and military markets because they are affordable, reliable and commonly used by rifle manufacturers. Rather than trying to reinvent the wheel, Cadex teamed up with Accurate-Mag® a  manufacturer offering a wider magazine selection than any other. We offer AICS magazines for more than 25 different calibers and in various lengths and capacities based on your preferred utilization. These magazines are military grade, made of rigid steel with solid anti-corrosion coating. They can be cleaned or lubricated easily by taking down the base plate and the magazine spring may be replaced as needed after years of intensive use.

MAGAZINE FITMENT vs CHASSIS SYSTEMS

Cadex chassis systems are designed for standard AICS pattern magazines. We optimized our chassis models for Accurate-Mag® magazines as their dimensions replicate best the original AICS design and their tolerances are tighter than most other aftermarket models. Some other companies choose to deviate from the original design, which is out of our control and may lead to some unexpected fitment or feeding issues.
