Bryan/AIM Crew,
I see the Polish AK mags are now listed as sold out. Any idea if there will be more at some point or has that well run dry? Thanks. |
|
i have more coming, BUT....the price will depend on how many mags we have to reject, we are sitting on a few thousand mags out of the last shipment that are need refinished. If that continues in the next shipment the price will have to go up

I'd happily pay $5 bucks a mag if all they needed was a new coat of paint. Just sayin........ Thanks for info Bryan. |

As would I, as long as they function the look don't matter to me

I finished a few from another vendor at $5 a mag. The dents were easy to knock out and the rust was easily removed by letting them soak in cheap pop over night. If it's possible for AIM, I think these would be a hit.

That's what other companies like Apex do - "Grade C, not guaranteed to function" or "Grade B, functional but ugly."
|
|
they are up as BLEMS
|
|
Holy crap - you had about 2000 blem mags. Yea, I'd be pissed from that supplier too! At least that was how many were left when I looked. I might pick up a few.
|

I am foing on a 50 pack!!
we are breaking the site. $409 to my door. Thanks B. |

Sold out, damn those went quick, just about an hour to sell 2000 mags

So I am curious how AIMSurplus sends out these emails. One email addy I have to get the email received it about an hour after seeing people post up here about the email deal and a 2nd email acct I have to receive the email got the July 4th sale email 50 minutes after the first one.
Hell no wonder sometimes I am too late to deals with AIMSurplus, it seems we do not all get the email for deals sent to us at the same time. Do these emails go out in batches against the subscribed list instead of out to everyone at once? |
|
I missed out, but hopefully there will be another opportunity in the future.

I got 50 bless with some other items... I figure I can give 10 away for 10$ to a coworker and come out with 40 bless with essentially free shipping
|

I was seriously considering some of the mags (I'm a slow buyer - think it all through too much), refreshed, and they were gone.
I'm still eyeing the SLR-104FR AK74... almost convinced myself I need it. I am expecting it to be out of stock soon, based on the fact about every other 74 in the world is out of stock. The $1000+ price tag is all that's keeping the last few in stock, I bet. |

Stack it deep! |

I was to the point that I have stacked so many AK mags from living local to AIM that I finally had to add another AK47 from AIM a few weeks ago so that the # of mags made a little more sense. My ratio of AK mags to AKs is now back around 60 mags to an AK. |

I'm curious what techniques people are using to refinish these mags. I was planning to use these without repainting but some of the feed lips have a thick coat of bubbly paint.

View Quote I got mine too. The paint is thick, like 1980s ceilings. I mine try brake cleanrer and see what under the finish. Mine be a nice mag under there? |
|
My blems arrived today. So far, I've cleaned the thick coating off with a razor blade. I've had to take all of the coating off so the magazine will fit into the mag well. In for refinishing ideas. From what I can tell, the mags were parkerized then coated.
|
|
I've got mine soaking in goof off. It makes a lot of that crap paint turn into a sludge that I can easily wipe off with a paper towel. Some have another layer of paint crud under the first layer and those get the steel bristle brush and will get refinished.

I just received my 50 mag order... absolutely nothing wrong, very happy with what i got
|
|
Of my 20 mags only 3 had the thick paint, the rest just had some little dents.

I only bought 10 because I wanted to "try" them. I should have ordered 30 when I had the chance.
