Calling VB Experts: Gun Thread- Let's Talk AK Magazines
I have an older Egyptian AK, bought during the ban period, so it came with 10 rd mags. I bought a cheapo 30 rd mag at the time that never seemed to cycle correctly, yet the factory 10 rounders worked fine.
I'm going to try a 3rd gen Magpul and an original Egyptian mag and see how those work. Any other suggestions? Also, any AR deals out there, or is this a bad time? Prefer Colt, S&W or Springfield w/Magpul furniture. Edit: Anyone know what's up with the Sig 320 and the dropping issue? I see there was an almost immediate fix, but are the 320's sold now reworked, built with the new "fixed"parts, or originals that will have the dropping issue? |

I read up a little about it last night, and there were a couple of years where they were made to only accept the 5 or 10 round mags. It's possible this is one of those, and I notice that the bayonet lug has been ground off, which was done to make them ban compliant. One story I read said the mags had to be filed slightly for proper fitment. We shall see.

AK-47 or AK-74?
I generally use old metal Milsurp 30s in various AK-47s and they work like a champ. Always. I have never had a 47 that liked plastic 30 round mags from any manufacturer, including Magpul. Every time I have ever tried, I have had feed issues, especially if you are firing at a fast rate. 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. |

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. |
