The Hexmag Shorty AR15 5.56 20-round magazine is built for shooters who value compact capacity without sacrificing reliability. Whether you're running a mid-length rifle build, working a squad role, or keeping a tighter profile for tactical training, this 20-round option sits between standard 30-round mags and 10-round compliance loads. It's purpose-built for 223 Remington and 5.56 NATO ammunition and manufactured in the USA with materials and design that have earned trust among competitors and serious field shooters alike.
What makes the Shorty stand out is the engineering behind it. The redesigned feed lip geometry strengthens the magazine's ability to handle thousands of rounds consistently, while the deep catch pocket locks into your magazine well with authority. Hexmag's proprietary Carbon Fiber construction balances weight savings with toughness—these aren't flimsy carriers. The heat-treated stainless-steel spring is built to hold its tension even during extended storage, so your mags stay ready when you need them. That matters whether you're staging gear for a match or stashing rifles for the long haul.
The patented HEXTURE texture design wraps around the magazine body for grip security, and integrated stripper clip guides speed up reloads when you're working from loose ammo or a prep station. The Shorty fits naturally in a standard AR platform magazine pouch and carrier, making it a drop-in option for most setups. If you've standardized on Hexmag's approach to magazine durability and design, the 20-round variant fills a practical role in your inventory.

The spring in this magazine is heat-treated stainless steel, which is engineered to resist spring fatigue and maintain tension even during extended periods of storage—so your loaded mags stay reliable when you need them.
Yes. The magazine features integral stripper clip guides designed to speed up reloading from a stripper clip or loose ammunition, which is useful for range sessions and competition work.
