    OK, I'm a total noob on this subject. Please be gentle.

    I recently got my first AK. It's a bullpup and it's really not suited to 30-round magazines. They curve so far forward that they interfere with easily getting a good hold on the grip.

    So I'm looking for 20-round (and I suppose I could use some 10-round) mags. 30-round mags of all sorts are everywhere but the only 20-round mags I can find are polymer and not to my taste.

    Does anybody know a good source of higher-quality all-metal 20-round magazines? I'd consider magazines that incorporate a bolt hold-open to be a plus.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    ETA: Forget this thread. I didn't know the jargon but when I figured it out, I found the information I needed here: http://www.texasguntalk.com/forums/rifles/54865-any-good-deals-still-around-ak-tanker-mags.html

    My WASR-10/63 won't take 'em, but it's got a very tight mag well on it.

    Every other AK I have does and they have yet to cause me any problems...

    Hey I know magpul recently announced AK mags. They only have a 30 rounder listed on their site, but I think a 20 rounder might not be too far behind.

    And tons of people say they do have problems. How many say that about Euro metal mags

    "Tons?" Other than not fitting in some rifles and some people who simply don't like them, I've never heard of "tons" of people having problems with them; and I spend a lot of time on numerous AK forums.

    OK, I get it, TAPCO has a reputation for crap and in some (or maybe many) cases it's deserved; but their mags are a different subject. I've put thousands of rounds through numerous AKs using TAPCO mags and have never had a single malfunction to date. Not one. Sure, they don't fit in my WASR-10/63; but every other Kalashnikov I've shot using them have worked fine using them, just like every other AK mag I own.
