Frequently Asked Questions

What makes DuraMag magazines stand out in terms of quality?

DuraMag emphasizes building tooling from the ground up with quality control in mind, using progressive die tooling and robotic welding. They focus on ensuring extreme consistency between magazines and have engineered specific features to address common issues, like those found in 7.62x39 AR-15 magazines.

What are the key innovations in DuraMag's new suppressor system?

DuraMag's suppressor features a 3D printed mono-core within a titanium tube, offering modularity with caliber-specific cores. It's designed for low back pressure, low back gassing, and hearing safety through an internal pressure equalization system, with a patented end cap for dwell time adjustments.

How does DuraMag's suppressor address NFA regulations and user maintenance?

The suppressor's modularity allows the serialized component to be the sleeve, while the internal cores can be swapped. This means users can purchase additional cores for different calibers without needing a new NFA tax stamp for each core, simplifying ownership and maintenance.

What mounting options are available for the DuraMag suppressor?

The suppressor is designed with Bravo style threading, compatible with popular mounting systems like KeyMo, Rearden, and ASR. DuraMag is also developing an adapter for Surefire devices, offering broad compatibility for users with existing muzzle devices.
