Myself, I wouldn't bother with them as you can get real deal surplus commie bullet proof mags for $15 - $20 if you shop around.
Just watch the mag deal tacked thread at the top of the page. |

Thanks...I have dozens of "Commie" mags. I am just looking for feedback and info on the black shiny Korean mags. I see them for $9 at gun shows for 40 rounders. |

I have some of the black 20 round Korean mags, they are decent mags for the money and work just fine in my Vepr. Some people have had issues with them.
They are noticeably thinner metal than genuine surplus mags. |

Do they have the back spine? Are they made of aluminum (try magnet test)? If they are 50% less in cost than a PMAG, then go, otherwise, nah.

The black shiny ones are the latest Koreans. I have one of their 20 and it runs fine in my WASR & Draco.
Most reports on the new 20s are good but seems as the capacity goes up so does the complaints, I haven't heard many good things about the 40s although the springs in the Koreans are light so a heavier spring may fix that. But that's more $$$ which puts you closer to the cost of genuine surplus. The 20s are a bargain compared to the cost of Hungarian Tankers, but I wouldn't bother with Korean 30s at today's prices for surplus. |

I don't remember about the spine but they do not feel like aluminum.
Again I am just attempting to learn more about this magazine...I do know about the P-Mags and such. Thanks Quote HistoryQuoted:

I picked up a few and they fit in my SAR-1 but not in my Pap 92. They are a bit fatter at the top so if you decide to go with them it would be great if you can try one first to make sure it fits. |

That's good news, I want some 20s but don't want to pay the surplus price for the Hungarian tankers. |
