They are my favorite range/plinking mag but I wouldn't pay 15. I bought a bunch a couple years back for around 7 each.
Surprisingly I have read that these are not actually commercial mags. They were manufactured for several Polish contracts and internal use. They may have no steel reinforcements, but neither do the current issue Beryl mags. Don't know how true this is. Have not broken any yet. They're very light and load up easily. Snap in tight in Romanian, Russian, Serbian rifles. |

They work well enough. No FTF or FTE. Keep in mind they are without steel feed lips and lugs.

For the range? For sure... Serious use? Nah, stick with circle 10s, steel surplus, bakes, or the like.

The feedlips will crack and the baseplate retaining lips will/can crack on the Polish mags with steel liners.
The plastic seems more brittle. I wish they had better plastic because I like them better than circle 10 mags. Mine Polish mags did crack and I would only use them for range/practice. I buy steel surplus euro or chinese flatbacks for my go to bag. |

Found a bunch online for $15 each. Are they a well made magazine? Fit and function well? Watch this by mrgunsgear https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_PtdNsbXYk |

The original Polish military 'slab-side' mags with steel reinforcement have not been available for a long time. I think they're collectable now. I have a pair of them I've never used.
