Finally, magazines are once again available for the Thompson Center Compass rifle! Unlike the rotary style 5-round magazines that originally came with the rifle, our NT-Mags are a vertical feed box magazine design available in 10-round or 5-round capacities in addition to a single-shot plug. The top of our NT-Mag is shaped to fit the TC Compass magazine well with a built-in ramp to feed rounds into the barrel at the correct angle for reliable chambering. Best of all, these mags are made in the USA!
These mags are available in multiple calibers for TC Compass rifles: NT-Mags for the .308-based cartridges (.243, 6.5 creedmoor, 7mm-08, and .308) have a maximum overall cartridge length of 72.5mm or 2.85 inches. NT-Mags for the .270 and 30-06 cartridges have a maximum overall cartridge length of 86.25 mm or 3.39 inches. These dimensions are well above the length of standard loadings for these rounds, but we wanted to allow some extra space for longer than normal custom reloads.
Our NT-Mags all feature extended release latches, so no more fumbling to remove a mag with cold fingers or while wearing gloves! The mag bodies are made from polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG) thermoplastic with embedded carbon fiber for added strength and rigidity. These magazine bodies have excellent chemical and oil resistance and can resist temperatures up to 160 degrees! The exterior is textured to better match the finish and color on the TC Compass rifle. The follower and locking tab are a high-vis orange color while the dark gray release latch is a carbon fiber composite for strength and durability.
We also offer laser engraving for these magazines! Choose from our ready-made designs or head over to the custom shop to upload your own artwork for us to engrave on your purchased mags!
