I have found several IMI made synthetic 7.62x39 magazines. They are made of black polymer, hold 30 rounds, the do not appear to have metal lined feed lips or locking tab. The mags are the same length as a standard metal AK mag but appear to be wider. They have a removeable floorplate. I bought 6 of these for $30 at a local pawn shop.

Anyone else seen these, use them?

Probably will just use these for range mags....

Anything made by IMI automatically gets the 'benefit of the doubt' because they are famous for making weapons/parts/ammo that have to work, and they do. Of course, that doesn't mean they are good mags, just that by all rights they SHOULD BE.

They have them in Black, Tan and OD green. It looks like they have the lines to cut them down to 20's or 10rnders

I've thought of getting a few just to have.

Two thoughts:
#1. IMI DOES make stuff just for a market. even though it should still be good quality.

#2.  In a lot of instances I sortof think that some "thinking" is by making them all polymer and solid "enough", the polymer mags are good shoot and drop, rather than trying to retain them for long-term storage.

I don't really know, but it's one reason I've bought a bunch of $5 tapco magazines.

Metal rear lug optional. Assume front lug is plastic.

I wonder if those are for the 5.45 Tavors they made for Ukraine.
