LANCER L5AWM GEN2 223REM 20RD TDE

Twenty-round magazines built for intermediate cartridges need to feed reliably under real conditions. The Lancer L5AWM Gen 2 handles .223 Rem and 5.56 NATO with consistent performance that shooters in Sunnyvale and throughout California depend on. Understanding what you can and cannot run in California starts with knowing California firearm laws and how they affect your setup.

Polymer construction and witness holes

Lancer Systems engineered the L5AWM Gen 2 with translucent polymer that lets you see rounds remaining without removing the magazine from your rifle. The witness holes along the side give you quick round-count visibility in the field. This design trades nothing in durability—the reinforced feed lips and spring system maintain tension through hundreds of cycles. Shooters running modern platforms appreciate gear that works the same way every time. For details on what applies to your build, review PC §32100 exempt revolvers to understand the broader California framework. TacticCAL is your local firearms dealer in the Bay Area.
