In the 74s, I still prefer metal but I have had much less issue than in the 47s, although I still have seen occasional feed issues that do not happen with metal mags on the same rifles.

Personally I wouldn't waste my money on Magpul for an AK.
Its a 47. The 3rd gen Magpul, while plastic, is supposed to have metal innards, an improved design. The OEM Maadi I ordered is metal.

We'll see what happens when I get those. The gun's been just collecting dust for years. The mag I bought at the time was metal, but it leaves the bolt carrier open after a few rounds. You'd physically have to bump that bolt carrier closed to chamber the next round. Didn't do that with the 10 round mag.
