An SR-25, AR-10 or LR-308 pattern magazine is a type of detachable firearm magazine based on the original Armalite AR-10 "waffle" magazine design introduced in the late 1950s, used for the .308 Winchester/7.62×51mm NATO and other similar-sized short-action full-power cartridges.
The design has been used on many AR-10 derivatives, for instance in the Knight's Armament SR-25 and DPMS Panther LR-308, as well as bolt-action rifles such as the Mossberg MVP .308, Ruger Precision Rifle and Q FIX. Aftermarket magazines are produced by Magpul, Lancer Systems, and others.Modern AR-10 Magazines: Our Four Top Picks For Dependable, Well-Made AR-10 Magazines - Gun World Magazine Not all AR-10 rifles use magazines compatible with the SR-25 pattern.
