USA – -(AmmoLand.com)- The Magpul PMAG D-50 is a rugged, lightweight, and reliable 50-round polymer drum magazine designed for 7.62×51 NATO/.308 Winchester ammunition for SR25/M110 pattern rifles.
It’s capable of using longer-than-SAAMI-spec match ammunition, up to 2.830” OAL, such as M118LR. Engineered to the same exacting standards as the famous Magpul PMAG and PMAG D-60® drum magazines, the D-50 continues the PMAG tradition of high-capacity performance and dependability. In addition, the D-50 brings GEN M3 features, which means enhanced strength, durability, and reliability. A ratcheting loading lever removes spring tension, making the D-50 easily loadable by hand.
An anti-glare translucent window on the rear of the drum makes for quick positive visual indication of remaining ammunition. Additionally, the D-50 can be disassembled quickly with a simple flat blade screwdriver, and a has a dot matrix pattern that allows for easy marking and identification. At approximately 1.5 lbs. empty, and 4.5 lbs. loaded, the Magpul D-50 is one of the lightest 50-round 7.62×51/.308 drums available and is priced well below the current competition. Designed specifically for 7.62×51 NATO/.308 Winchester ammunition and use with other calibers such as .260 Remington or 6.5 Creedmoor is not recommended.

Will this rig fit the J. Allen stock? If not why can’t anyone seem to fit a drum to that stock?
When and where will the D-50 be available for the 7.62?
I email the company every few weeks asking the same question, All they reply is they don’t make one. They never said they are going to someday or that .308 D50 was coming out. My D60 runs great in FA.
I shoot on an AR-15 platform using two uppers – one uses 5.56 standard rounds and the other uses 6.5 Grendel rounds. Do have a D-50 cannister that will work with these two munition types? If you do, what is the cost and is there a limit to the number purchased?
The D-50 is for 7.62×51 nato or .308 which is much larger than either the 5.56 or the 6.5 grendel. The D-60 works very well for 5.56 I don’t know if it works for the 6.5 Grendel. You can get a D-60 for about 120 or so.
