Product Overview

The Army Armament 17 Custom Series Gas Magazine for R34 (A-226) is a high-performance, heavy-duty replacement propellant reservoir engineered to provide flawless cycling and rock-solid reliability in the Army Armament R34 gas blowback (GBB) sidearm series and matching Glock-spec platforms. Standard factory pistol magazines can occasionally experience brittle seals or rapid thermal cooling ("freeze-up") during aggressive rapid-fire strings, leading to sluggish slide travel and dropping muzzle velocities. The A-226 overcomes these common operational performance bottlenecks by utilizing an advanced, thick-walled aluminum alloy casing that drastically optimizes heat transfer and thermal gas expansion. Internally, the magazine features premium, cold-resistant rubber O-rings and an oversized high-flow output valve to ensure sharp, crisp recoil and consistent velocity from the first shot to the last. The exterior profile mimics a modern custom pistol magazine layout, including an ergonomic, impact-resistant polymer baseplate that protects the charging valve from impact damage during tactical reloads. This critical fueling component offers commercial airsoft fields, professional custom gunsmiths, and retail stockists a highly dependable, high-demand product for high-frequency sidearm setups.
