Quote HistoryQuoted: How did you clean up the springs? Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: I ordered 4 and they arrived today. There were a couple minor dings. 1 mag had small amounts of surface rust on the spring but cleaned up easily. 2 Fit perfectly, 1 was a little loose and the other was a tight fit on a Southern Armament receiver. I'm happy with the purchase and may have to order some more. How did you clean up the springs? |

I bought 10 of them not long ago...........all are good, except one that has a bend in the metal and will not allow me to load more than 4 rounds............I contacted AIM to see what I could do about swapping it out for a good one

I tried 10 of the 6.99 "follower moves freely" ones, got them in today. Amazing. Little rust, maybe a small dent. Wish I had bought all of these instead of the $10 ones.... Don't know if I'd chance the 4.99 rusted and dented ones. |

Just got 10 of them in yesterday. They looked great, and the followers moved smoothly, so I was thinking about ordering more. Then I tried to insert them into my DDI stamped rifle...no good. The three I tried wouldn't fit - Romanian steel, the cheap Bulgarian mags SG Ammo sells, and a Magpul MOE mag all go in fine (though with no wobble). I'm guessing the paint (which really looks great) is just thick enough to cause issues.

Eh, I'd rather just stick with mags that work in the gun as is. They do look nice though.

Just bought 20 from Aim.
All 20 fit perfectly in my M70ab2. Only 6 would fit in my N-Pap, the others would not lock up no matter what The N-Pap works fine with every other mag I own (30+) so it is safe to say that the Polish mags from AIM are out of spec because of the thick paint. |

Got 4 in.
They look great. One is a real tight fit in my Mini Draco. Probably have to file on the rear lug, like some others have said. Hasn't anyone noticed the smell???? Mine were apparently carried in the boots of old Polish soldiers. Anyway, I tested one today and it worked fine. |

Got my 10. 9 fit perfectly, one was a little tight due to excess paint thickness. Fortunately, AKs are "self fitting" when it comes to mags. Just sit in front of the TV, fire up an episode of the a team on Netflix and install/Remove the mag about a hundy times... Blowing paint bits off from time to time... and, done! |

Nothing at all wrong or sinister with dealers (or arsenals) being proactive in preserving or refurbishing military surplus. Parking and/or painting magazines isn't uncommon when military arsenals refurbish their own mags. We're not talking about used cars here. |

We're not talking about used cars here. +1, sometimes i'll take the time to do this myself, nothing like a freshly sandblasted and painted AK mag, i've sold some like this too, so sometimes the reason it's been painted is that someone took the time to do it right, i'll pay more for a mag like that. |

Just received the 6 I ordered from AM. Took them apart. Little to no corrosion, . I cleaned them all up. They look great. For $11 a mag, they are an excellent deal on 47 mags.
One fit a little snug in my MAK 90, but a little sanding on the paint and no problem. That's the pruce i want to pay for AK mags... No Way I will pay the $25-$30. The 4 old Chinese mags I have are in way worse condition then the Polish ones I just bought, and they work just fine. After about 25 years, I finally took them apart and cleaned them to. I've had them and the gun since 1990 when I bought it. |
