Title: AK mag guess?
Post by: padams8888 on March 29, 2016, 10:00:57 PM
So....from time to time, I like to purchase some things without knowing exactly what I'm getting into to.....:) Kinda like Christmas morning.....
That being said, have any of you come across magazines wrapped up like this before? I'll know soon enough....but it's fun to see what folks think.....maybe not even AK-47....maybe AK-74?

I'd guess that they are AK74 mags or maybe they might even be 30 rounders in 5.56?

They are East German......
Almost look like a cross between early and late with the finish.....Alphabet Soup stamp on the rib......very nicely built! I can live with these.....

They are the cleanest appearing fit and finish that I've seen......it doesn't show very well in the pictures, but there is a rainbow tone in the bluing too. Not going to open the other three.....but it's killing me to see what they look like.

Sweet!  thumb1 I've always read great things about the East german mags and that puppy looks to live up to the hype. Congrats man. I don't think I have any in my lil mag collection. Do you know if they always have multiple letter stamps like that 1?
