Hexmag HX30-AR Magazine

The HX30-AR is the first product from HexMag. This polymer AR-15 magazine is made in the USA and features a lightweight impact resistant design with an attractive non-slip hexagonal surface. What really separates it from the rest of the magazines out there is its HexID Color Identification system.

The follower and latch plate is available in a number of colors allowing for easy identification of magazines. You could, for example, use only blue magazines for .300 BLK, red magazines for 55gr FMJ 5.56mm and green magazines for .223 Remington HP hunting loads. The different colors can be purchased separately.

The company is looking for retailers and distributors. Right now they can be purchased from Apex Gun Parts for $13.99.

Below are some videos about the product. We will be reviewing this magazine in the near future.

    Have to laugh at the "can't tell the color 'cause its loaded" comments - if you did then you clearly did not watch the videos

    The button on the bottom can be made to match the follower

    More importantly, form follows function, how well do these function?
    Do they have a continous curve inside the mag to allow smooth feeding into the rifle?
    This a feature patented by magpul, that so improves function over a gi mag.

      @WFA The continuous curve interior is not part of Magpul's IP, it is an artifact of injection molding the magazine body out of polymer. There has to be a big piece of steel in the mold that forms the hollow space for the ammunition in the magazine, and you need to get that steel out of there after the magazine body is molded. If you have anything other than a continuous curve, that steel would be jammed in place.
