Hydra Magazine Well

Hydra Weaponry designed and manufactures the modular MARCK-15 Hydra Weapon System, as well as other firearms and related accessories. Now, Hydra is expanding its line of quick-interchangeable magazine wells, adding the Hydra H21 and H17 modular magazine wells that accept Glock magazines for 9mm, 10mm, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP.

The Hydra MARCK-15’s modular construction allows users to easily change calibers without the use of tools. One of the unique aspects of the Hydra MARCK in comparison with any other modular rifle, is the ability to change the magazine well in the lower receiver, along with barrel and bolt head, which are caliber dependent. The new Hydra Interchangeable Magazine Wells opens up new areas of compatibility, allowing users to seamlessly switch magazines from their carry or duty firearm to their rifle quickly and easily.

Glock pistols have revolutionized the firearms industry since their American introduction in 1985. More than 65 percent of law enforcement agencies employ Glock service pistols. With the introduction of the new Hydra Glock-style magazine wells, both armed citizens and law enforcement can maximize the use of Glock magazines. For law enforcement officers, duty pistols and rifles can easily interchange magazines, and the Hydra MARCK-15 can easily adapt to any other necessary duty caliber, even in the field.

The Hydra H21 Modular Magazine Well fits Glock 10mm and .45 ACP magazines, while the Hydra H17 Modular Magazine Well fits Glock 9mm and .40 S&W magazines. These magazine wells can also be used with either factory or after-market higher-capacity drum or stick magazines. MSRP for either version is $275, and more information on this product and other items from Hydra Weaponry is available at hydraweaponry.com.
