Post by: Greasemonkey on November 24, 2015, 01:45:13 AM: It ain't no Vz :), now one I might guess is a Type63/68

Vz58 mag vs Ak mag, the Vz mag is grey

Post by: Stoned_Oli on November 24, 2015, 09:23:01 AM: I found the pic of the one AK mag I had. After posting about it on one of the other files, I gave the floorplate to someone in need. Not sure about what yours fit though...

Do yours have poly followers or steel?

ETA: I found the mag body. Yours appears to have the front lug a bit lower, but is otherwise very close to mine. Mine does fit in an AK.

Post by: Loose}{Cannon on November 24, 2015, 08:11:29 PM: Just looks like an ak mag to me. :-\ Some minor manufacturing differences, but thats about all I see.

Post by: padams8888 on November 24, 2015, 08:14:20 PM: My followers are poly with the sharp tipped faux cartridge.....look just like yours. I actually tried one in a Sporter today and it locked in.....it's a little loose, but the BHO works.....have to try it out soon.....Thanks for all the feedback!
