...I mean it'll be an orange glass fiber reinforced frame which would be pretty much exactly what we have except orange . The Russians didn't even use phenolic resins for thier bakalite magazines.

I remember this thing. Isn't bakelite brittle though?

As I recall it's not actually Bakelite.

Much like Russian "bakelite" mags are actually a polyphenolic resin known as AG-S4, I doubt those are bakelite in the traditional sense.
>same basic technique to produce it, slightly different chemical composition.

I still can't remember/figure out the name of that Norinco gun though.
