hey /k/ which surplus 7.62x39 ak mag are the best?

>>33590635

East germans have the best fit and finish in my opinion. Bulgarian circle 10s are the best non-steel mags (with soviet bakelite a close second)

China because it doesn't have annoying piece of extra sheet metal on the backside of it. Very clean looking

also what is /k/s opinion on the new Croatian mags being produced

>>33590635
Bakes, Bulg waffles and Finnish waffles.
Gotta get those weight savings.

>>33590635
Best for what exactly? I use romanian mags, they are cheap and work.

>>33590699
best mag in general

>>33590649
Shit, why are those bulgarian mags so cool?

>>33590755
Bulgarian and Russian mags are generally regarded as toptier, but just about any decent steel mag will work similar, which is why I use romanian mags. They are ugly but function just great. Avoid any new Croatian magazine, they have been having issues for years.

I like aim surplus' $10 polish refurbished magazines

>>33590635
chinese, no rib to jam into your hand, solid construction.

>>33590652
I love Norinco mags, just not very common around my parts, have four and would consider them my favorite.

>>33590662
They are not milspec, just commercial junk

>>33590635
I've had a bunch of the steel comblocs over the years including some "collectible" ones like the Russian aluminum waffles and, a North Korean, Bosnians etc. All have pretty much worked perfectly fine. Started weeding out to just the Yugo BHO's for my Yugo Ak and the new Russian Izzy poly's from my Saiga AKs. (Also kept the fleur le dis.)

Anyway, any combloc mag is fine. The BHO feature is pretty cool. I heard the Chinese ones and the new Croatian mags can have issues chambering a round

>>33590635
Yugo and Chinese are the best IMO.
I have more Hungarian mags than any other kind and they're all great

Tapco.

ak103 mags are the king

Russian Bulgarian or polish steel, yugo's are incredible too but heavy.

they suck ass

Arms Of America has non-refurb blued Polish mags for $10.
Much better deal, and no fitment issues with globbed on paint.

I had a VEPR in 5.45, right now I have an SLR107. Pic related

>>33596072
Hmm.
For some reason I could've sworn you had a 104.
It's plum, right?

East German are top tier.


If you're looking to pay the smallest amount for the best "tank" of them all, get Yugo. They're insanely solid.

>>33590662

The only thing worst are Korean mags.

>>33596039
Thanks for the link

>>33596100
Yes it's plum stock. They are fairly similar and can easily be confused.

Romanian steel mags are pretty good mags. I have two for my AKM. Anything Russian is good. Hell, everything is good. Just avoid Worst Korean steel mags, ProMag, and TAPCO, I know those are not milsurp

>>33590635
All of them are gtg, except for Korean and croation. Stay away from those two anon, and you'll be fine.

>>33590662
The work just fine in my N-PAP underfolder. My friend had to file his slightly to fit in his Century C39

>>33595955
huh. no wonder they were so cheap. time to get the files out i guess.

I like my Yugos
the steel on the ones I have is very thick, they lockup very tight and I actually like the bolt hold open

if you don't care for that, most mags are the same except weight
so bakelite or toth tool/bulgarian waffle

>>33590786
I bought 10. They have too much paint on them

>>33595955
so basically only VEPRs have correct non ape tier mag wells? Checks out desu.
