Cincinnati, OH –-(Ammoland.com)- Faxon Firearms, manufacturer of the ARAK-21 Upper Receiver that fits any mil-spec AR 15 lower platform, is proud to announce the addition of two new calibers of their Magazine Marker Bands.
The Magazine Marker Bands are perfect for shooters who change calibers repeatedly and are used to easily identify which magazine is holding which caliber of ammunition. Ranges with multiple rental guns will also be able to utilize these bands for added safety steps.
The bands can be purchased in 5.56/.223, 300 BLK or 7.62×39. Each pack is color coded in either red (300 BLK), blue (5.56/.223) or yellow (7.62×39).
There are 10 bands per package.
“What started off to be a simple safety precaution has turned into something that so many of our customers demanded,” says Nathan Schueth, Director of Operations for Faxon Firearms.

How about bands for the 6.8SPC and .224 Valkyrie ?
‘Label-Maker’ tape works well and looks better than something that’s ‘hand-written’. Moisture or oil can smear marker ink.
This is a great idea but, I was always trained that blue was inert or blank training ammo and mags marked red were live ammo. Perhaps two different colors would be better. But once again, it’s a great idea.
I just use masking tape and a marker.
