THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT
Were any of the new smooth orange 'Bakelite' mags spotted at the gunshows this weekend?

Pics?
We only got two things from prohibition: the NFA of 1934 and NASCAR.

and I hate both.

I've seen black and tan on the net for like $15, but I'm patiently waiting for orange.

I like those orange ones too.
Any idea when they will be available and who will be selling them at a good price

Wow, they finally did it. I've been wondering for years why they don't just make smooth body mags. Just mag it look like a Russian mag, only make it in the USA. It's about time, I'll buy 10. Please tell me there will be some in 5.45

I still don't think these have the steel reinforced lips

Oh well, can't wait until they start making them in 5.45, especially that red colored version

If they're like the current Tapco mags on the market they will work 100%

Saw one at a show 2 weekends ago. It was a much more pale orange than a real bakelite. It reminded me of a faded hunting vest.

As always YMMV, so I would carry a spare Bakelite for comparison and check it carefully.

Even if they aren't a perfect match I imagine you could die them up as dark as you like, the way AR guys do with PMags. Can't wait for some smooth side AK74 mags.

Red is also appearing on their site. Red would look pretty awesome in an AMD-65

No doubt. I'd be all over the smooth side 5.45 mags. Especially if they come in red.

The Tapco orange mags will definitely compliment the two Izzys and one Tula i currently own.

Actually, they need to make them in the plum color, that would be the bee's knees....
