A witness port and last round bolt hold follower: those are some of the features described by American Tactical when announcing the availability of an updated ATI/Schmeisser S60 60-rnd magazine.
The AT/Schmeisser GmbH extendo clip is constructed with glass-reinforced polymer, utilizing what they describe as a “..unique follower system that allows for double capacity from a normal AR magazine without being bulky or cumbersome.”
According to the release, the S60 is…
“Designed to shoot both .223 REM & 5.56X45MM, the Schmeisser S60 will give you an instant capacity upgrade over the standard AR mag at an affordable price for your AR carbine or pistol.”
American Tactical has been a source for firearm-related imports from Schmeisser for years. They manufacture parts and firearms as well. Among the goodness available at ATI are the GSG-16, the MP40P, the FXH-45 Moxie, a 9mm adapter for AR platforms, and a wide range of other things — even some electro-optics. They’re also the creators of Rukx Gear (q.v.).
