Combloc milsurp steel mags, whether they are the bolt hold open variety or not is up to you, some people don't like them.
If you feel like paying $40 a mag, then go with Bulgarian Circle 10 polymer waffle mags, but at $10-12 on sale, steel mags are the better choice for stocking up. |

Any of the milsurp ones are good. Even the Tapco ones have a good reputation. As far as "Best" a lot of people would probably say theArsenal plastic/metal ones.

If I was in the market, I'd get new Polish Steel AK47 30rd mags for $20 or used ex.cond. for $15 .
New ones may be around cheaper, but a quick search didn't show any. I have no affiliation with Brad at gunthings other than being a satisfied customer of his through the years. www.gunthings.com |

I remember when Magwa had the Bulg poly Waffle mags for $10 each back in 2001-2003. Now they run $45 or more I believe. Those are probably the best 762 mags, but I like Yugo BHO mags the best for whats going around these days
Hungarian 20's are super too but hard to find now, 1 box = 1 mag, plus a lot better to shoot from prone position |

Same here, 2 circle tens and a few dozen steel. The circle 10s are great but too expensive for me to stockpile. I'm looking forward to trying a couple of the Toth Tool mags when they are in stock. Magpuls metal reinforced mags should be out within the next year. |

For your money the best mags are going to be steel combloc mags.
For the cost of two circle 10 mags you can get around a dozen quality steel mags. |

Thanks cheapest place to find the ((10)) mags are probably on the EE, see if you can get them for sub $40 there really are no price breaks on the mags because everyone knows they are the best of the best... again best bet would be finding someone trying to unload 10+ or 20+ best bang for your buck mags are any of the surplus steel types: europeans ($10 a mag), yugo/serbian ($12-$15 a mag), and chinese ($15-$20) hungarian 20 round steel mags are also my preferred, but nobody has them for a decent price... they used to be $10 each, now more like $30 each edit: right now SGAMMO has excellent-like new hungarian steel for $12 a mag when you order 10+... you would be hard pressed to find a better deal |

+3 on Combloc milsurp steel mags take 8 of them and test them in your gun for 100% reliability and stash the rest.

He brought in the rare experimental colored ones, too. I wish I had a time machine.

How did your 10 mags look? Pretty good. Definitely wear from being inserted in magwells, a few had some very light surface rust. Nothing a few minutes with a brush and lube couldn't help, and if you refinished 'em, they would be like new. I haven't seen a price like that in years though. Incredible deal. |

I bought a new AK47 and it included one metal mag covered in cosmoline and one Tapco 30. I never thought I would ever use a plastic AK magazine. I wanted to shoot my new rifle so off to the range I went with the Tapco mag. 200 or so rounds later the gun and the mag were flawless. I was surprised, seems like a nice and cheap range mag.

There are some pictures floating around of tapcos being used in mexico, and (maybe) Africa. Not first choice by any means, but some are getting field use. |

How did your 10 mags look? My 10 pack delivered yesterday. Most of the magazines look unused, a couple have a little surface rust around the feed lips, but should easily clean up. Some were a little tight (measured ~1.020) when inserted into my Polish Sporter. A firm squeeze in my bench vise corrected that problem. The follower slides down and back with no interference on all 10. Maybe I should have ordered 20....... |
