The Remington 783 Short Action Magazine is a 4-round, OEM-pattern replacement magazine for the Remington Model 783 short-action rifle. American Rifle Magazines builds it from tooling developed in conjunction with Remington, so it drops in and feeds the way the magazine that shipped with your rifle did. It's in stock and ready to ship.
Fits these rifles
This magazine fits the Remington Model 783 short action, chambered in:
- .308 Winchester
- 6.5 Creedmoor

Short-action calibers like these use a shorter magazine body than long-action calibers such as .30-06 or .270 Win. Confirm the caliber stamped on your barrel before ordering, or check our Remington 783 Magazine Fitment Guide.

American Rifle Magazines is family-owned and owner-operated, founded by Rob Haversat and run out of Naugatuck, Connecticut. We are not an importer or a reseller of overseas parts — every magazine is manufactured in America from U.S. steel and U.S.-made components, and we've been supplying factory-spec Remington and Marlin magazines for decades.
Short action vs. long action vs. magnum
Remington built the 783 in three different action lengths — short action, long action, and magnum long action — and the magazine has to match the action. A short-action 783 has a shorter receiver and bolt throw, sized for compact cartridges such as .308 Winchester, .243 Winchester, 6.5 Creedmoor, and .223 Remington. A long-action 783 has a longer bolt throw to chamber longer cartridges like .30-06 Springfield, .270 Winchester, .25-06 Remington, and .35 Whelen. The magnum long action is a separate, longer magazine body again, built for magnum cartridges such as 7mm Remington Magnum and .300 Winchester Magnum. None of these three are interchangeable with each other, and the 450 Bushmaster chambering uses its own dedicated magazine as well. If you're not sure which action your rifle uses, check 783 long-action (.30-06/.270/.25-06/.35 Whelen), 783 magnum long-action (7mm Rem Mag/.300 Win Mag), or 783 450 Bushmaster or the Remington 783 Magazine Fitment Guide to confirm your action type.
Buying guidance
This is the standard 4-round short-action magazine. If you want more rounds between reloads on the same short-action platform, American Rifle Magazines also makes an 8-round XT version in the same black oxide finish. This magazine only comes in black oxide — there's no nickel option for this part.
Magazine capacity limits vary by state. Check your state's magazine capacity law before you order.

Installation and care
Insert the magazine into the magazine well and seat it until it clicks into place — don't force it. To keep it feeding reliably, wipe the body, follower, and feed lips clean of grit and powder residue after range trips, and avoid heavy oil inside the magazine, since it attracts debris. If feeding ever gets rough, clean the feed lips and follower first, confirm the follower moves freely, and check for a weak or kinked spring. Modern magazine springs are designed to be kept under load, so storing this magazine loaded will not wear out the spring — what causes wear is repeated loading and unloading. For more detail, see our Rifle and Magazine Care Guide.
