Xtech Tactical AK magazine

XTech Tactical has just launched three new styles of its MAG47 AK pattern magazines. These include the Marble edition, the Gold edition and a one version with the classic six-color, US-desert pattern, also famously known as the chocolate chip camo pattern.

XTech Tactical MAG47 Marble 

The Marble Edition XTech Tactical MAG47 magazine is the result of a partnership with Emerald City Cerakote. This magazine has a Cerakoted blend of colors and dimensions.

XTech Tactical MAG47 Gold

The XTech Tactical MAG47 Gold magazine had been a customer request for a long time, but until recently, there was no appropriate gold finish that met both XTech Tactical’s standards for looks and durability. Recently, however, Cerakote released a new gold colored option that was deemed worthy. 

XTech Tactical Chocolate Chip Pattern 

This MAG47 model includes a Cerakote stenciled application of the classic US Chocolate Chip desert camouflage pattern that was popular during the early 1990s and is associated with the first Gulf War. Like M81 US Woodland, the desert-hued Chocolate Chip camouflage pattern has also become a cult classic and fan favorite.

Inspired by rugged durability and dependability of the famous Bulgarian Circle 10 “waffle” AK magazines which are collectible and becoming more expensive, XTech Tactical developed the MAG47 AK pattern magazine because the company wanted to offer the US consumer an affordably priced and fully American made “battle ready” 7.62x39mm Kalashnikov-style magazine. In addition to the different custom finishes such as the Marble, Gold or Chocolate Chip Camo patterns listed above, XTech Tactical also offers MAG4 models with or without bolt hold open capabilities. The company also offers both standard 30-round as well as reduced capacity 10-round magazines for compliance in ban states or for hunting purposes.
