ProMag Archangel LVX SKS Magazine, 7.62x39mm, Lever Release, 35-Round

The ProMag Archangel LVX is the SKS detachable magazine to buy if you are committed to the conversion. Where the basic ProMag SKS magazines drop into the existing magazine well and rely on a fit that varies rifle to rifle, the LVX uses an integrated lever release that works with the factory SKS magazine catch in the trigger-guard area. That lever engagement is designed to give tighter, more repeatable lock-up than a plain detachable box, which is the single biggest reliability variable on an SKS conversion.

The body is black polymer and holds 35 rounds of 7.62x39mm, model AALVX35. It is the better-engineered option in the ProMag SKS lineup, but the underlying caveat about SKS conversions still applies: the SKS was never designed for detachable magazines, so test-fit and function-check with your specific carbine before trusting it for anything beyond range use.

As with any foreign-made detachable magazine on an imported SKS, the LVX changes the 922(r) parts count. Confirm your rifle stays compliant on imported parts before running it.
