Agreed, I use them at the range all the time and have never had a problem with them. Not once. Well, there was an issue once; but that was user error. I loaded 31 rounds into one once, and the rifle wouldn't cycle because of it.

Took me awhile to figure it out, but the first thing you do with that kind of problem is swap mags. Once I did that and it worked, I couldn't figure out the problem until I unloaded the mag. Then it dawned on me...

I wouldn't use them in a true SHTF situation; but for general shooting purposes they are good magazines. Them and the G2 triggers are the two TAPCO AK products that stand the test of time. Everything else is crap.

I have 2 tapco mags. They worked after I trimmed down some edges where they would fit. They fit tight and right now with no wiggle. Performed flawlessly afterward. They feel and work solid.

Does anyone run mags made the same country as your AK? Bulgarian with Bulgarian circle 10 mags fit perfect with no wiggle. I want some plum ones for some color.

CLARKE.....seriously man, I just need to know what kind of AK mags to get! Don't leave me hangin!

Depends upon what AK you have. I found out the hard way that any ole' AK mag will NOT fit any ole' AK. I was told a few times that it didn't matter but not true. My Npap uses the BHO metal mags so I bought the Croatain knockoffs which work great. A few of them needed to be filed to get them to lock in easier but they all fit and worked as advertised. I like the Combloc metal mags since they will take more abuse on the locking tabs and feed lips. Haven't tried the Magpul mags but may in the future.

I have a couple you may have if you'd like to try them out. I LOVE them in my Norinco...

For some reason , ever since this thread began, I have been thinking of chucking my steel mags for PMAGS!!!!!!.

 

[texas skeeter]

It's called diversity there Southy. LOL

 

[duckknot]

Ill give you $6 a piece for your steel mags

 

[texas skeeter]

I keep my steel mags for a rainy day or SHTF. My pmags are my shooters when all is calm in the world. lol

Steel ftw. Order a bunch to sort out the ones that actually work, then you're set for life.

Had a steel mag that didn't seat past 26 rds. Came from century with a WASR I got.

See there goes that voice again!! It's like there's a Magpul salesman around every time I visit this thread.


For the record... I would never get rid of any of my surplus mags...... Well, at least not until the next panic.

I am surprised that an AK will make it past 20 anyway.
