LANCER SYSTEMS L5AWM GEN 2 5.56x45 NATO RIFLE MAGAZINE

Lancer set out to design a better 5.56 magazine, one with the reliability of steel and the durability and weight of polymer. The L5 Advanced Warfighter Magazine (AWM®) is that magazine. The GEN 2 features an all-new precision engineered feed lip design, stainless steel spring, anti-tilt follower and new floorplate lock, the new L5AWM GEN 2 is positioned to secure its place as the leading professional grade “STANAG style” magazine on the market.

The L5AWM’s exclusive hybrid design includes a proprietary polymer body with aggressive surface texturing to create the ultimate rifle magazine tough enough for military, law enforcement, and competition applications.

The L5AWM is compatible with modern weapon systems, including M4/M16/AR15, SCAR16, HK416, ARX160, SIG556, ARC, SIG MCX, IWI Tavor, IWI X95, SA80, chambered in 5.56x45mm / .223 Remington.

The L5AWM GEN 2 delivers up to a 22% reduction in insertion force, allowing for smoother and more reliable seating on a closed bolt. Its proprietary high‑strength polymer body is engineered for exceptional durability and dependable performance in the harshest environments, with testing conducted from –40°F to +180°F to ensure consistent function across extreme temperature ranges. Reinforced by hardened steel feed lips, the magazine resists wear, bending, cracking, deforming, or splitting—even during heavy sustained fire, aggressive temperature cycling, or long‑term loaded storage.

Designed to meet or exceed military impact and chemical‑resistance standards, the magazine’s body offers long‑term reliability in demanding conditions. An anti‑tilt follower paired with a stainless steel spring maintains smooth, consistent feeding and allows the magazine to remain loaded for extended periods without degrading performance. Select models feature translucent bodies along with molded round count indicators, giving users an instant visual check of their ammunition load.

In Department of Defense TOP testing, the L5AWM GEN 2 demonstrates outstanding durability, surviving 122% more drops from five feet onto concrete compared to the nearest competitor. Despite this rugged performance, it remains remarkably lightweight at just 3.8 ounces, making it the lightest professional‑grade magazine on the market and up to 36% lighter than other leading polymer options.

The L5AWM GEN 2 is fully compatible with modern weapon systems including the M4, M16, AR‑15, SCAR16, HK416, and a broad range of rifles chambered in 5.56x45mm / .223 Remington. Every magazine is designed, tooled, manufactured, and assembled in the USA, ensuring strict quality control and uncompromising performance trusted by professionals.
