.458 SOCOM XL Magazine – Modified MDT Metal Magazine

The .458 SOCOM XL Magazine modified from an MDT Metal AICS Mag is purpose-modified by Chattahoochee Munitions to reliably accommodate and feed the oversized .458 SOCOM XL cartridge in both our CM7S bolt-action and CM10 semi-automatic platforms.

Chattahoochee Munitions starts with a genuine MDT metal AICS-pattern magazine and modifies it specifically around the dimensions and feeding requirements of the .458 SOCOM XL. These modifications provide the necessary cartridge clearance and feed geometry while retaining the strength and durability of the MDT metal magazine.

Unlike traditional .458 SOCOM, which was developed around the dimensional limitations of the AR-15 platform, .458 SOCOM XL takes advantage of the additional cartridge overall length available in larger platforms. Chattahoochee Munitions utilizes the modified MDT magazine system across both the CM7S and CM10, allowing the cartridge to function in bolt-action and semi-automatic configurations.

Purpose-Built .458 SOCOM XL Magazine

The .458 SOCOM XL expands the capabilities of the original .458 SOCOM by moving beyond the cartridge overall-length constraints of the AR-15 platform. The additional available length provides greater flexibility when loading the heavy .458-caliber projectiles that make the cartridge particularly well suited to suppressed and subsonic applications.

That increased cartridge size also creates unique magazine requirements.

Rather than forcing .458 SOCOM XL into a magazine system designed around smaller cartridges, Chattahoochee Munitions modifies MDT metal magazines specifically to accommodate the cartridge. The resulting magazine configuration is used in both our CM7S bolt-action and CM10 semi-automatic .458 SOCOM XL firearms.

Compatibility

These 458 SOCOM XL Magazines are specifically modified for use with .458 SOCOM XL and are intended for compatible Chattahoochee Munitions platforms, including:

• CM7S .458 SOCOM XL bolt-action rifles and barreled actions
• CM10 .458 SOCOM XL semi-automatic rifles

Compatibility with non-Chattahoochee Munitions firearms is not guaranteed because action, magazine-well, feed geometry, and other platform dimensions can affect function.

Important: This is a genuine MDT magazine that has been modified by Chattahoochee Munitions for .458 SOCOM XL. It is not a factory MDT .458 SOCOM XL magazine.
