Best AK-47 Magazines 7.62x39
« on: October 11, 2008, 04:07:20 PM »
I would like to buy a few new AK-47 magazines. These would be the basic 30 round mags in 7.62x39. I noticed that Midway has polymer mags made by Promag and Tapco(I think). They also list surplus Russian metal mags. I will be using these in a Norinco MAK-90. Has anyone here used the polymer mags in a MAK-90? How about the surplus metal mags; would they be better? Thanks for any info.

You want my advice , go to aim surplus , here , http://www.aimsurplus.com/acatalog/Bulgarian_30rd_AK47_Steel_Magazine.html
buy the 30rd bulgarian mags , and you are set , I would never buy a promag anything.
repeat , 30rd bulg mags from aim surplus , you will be set.

 I agree with what was said by DCR keep to the military surplus AK mags ... Not to say that tapco doesnt make a good product but that you cant kill a mil surp AK mag ... They were made like that for a reason and are one of the components that help make the AK the reliable wardog it is ... and yes i have the MAK 90 AK model and never a hiccup out of the hungarian or bulgarian mags i have for it

  Hope that helps ya out mike,

Don't be afraid of Romanian Mags either.  All of mine... a bunch!   ;)  are Romanian and none have ever had a hicup.  I would assume it would be the same for most if not all com block countries.
