What sort of Blemishes? I bought 20 of them a month or so ago. They come sealed in plastic with oil. I didn't open any of them, but they feel nice and heavy and well built. They feel just like my Rusky and bulgarian steel mags. I wish I would have fent on the case deal. |

Pass,a lot of folks are having to file the locking lugs to fit into the mag wells.
I would test fit and function these mags in all of your go to rifles if you buy some. Dont assume they will fit and function correctly without testing them |

I did have to file mine a little, but literally took 2 minutes with a dremel and it fits great now. I've heard a lot of people didn't have any issues either. For less then $6 for a well built mag I can't complain. |

Quick question: sounds like these generally need some fitting for a lot of rifles.
How likely is it that Yugo mags (before they became a surplus item) needed the same? Or is this somehow unique to Croatian mfg? I'd imagine it's either the same tooling or a carbon copy... |

I have has several Yugo mags need fitting as they were way to tight in some of my rifles.Im talking so tight you need a rubber mallet to get the mag out of the mag well Sold all the tight fitting ones,i just hate modding/filing a mag to get it to fit.

Got my mags today...
They are too wide to fit half my rifles. Fits my century sar-1 Fits my mak90 milled Does not fit any of my nds receivers Does not fit any of my milled Ohio ordinance works receivers. I forgot to check my vepr The milled ones don't fit because the front clip section is too wide. The stamped receivers don't fit because the mag detach is too tight. |

Somehow i saw that coming that they wouldnt fit some rifles. I myself would sell them as they wont fit certain rifles.Too much of a hassle knowing what fits or doesnt fit each rifle. Not good for a SHTF or HD event either. |

From reading this I am under the impression they fit communist made guns but not American made guns ? Is this correct ? Have you put a micrometer to the magwell ? When I modify an AK magwell I use my Mak-90 as the standard . |

All I had to do to get them to fit my Nodak Spud receiver was file a small amount off the front lip. Took about 2 minutes with a Dremel.
That being said, I decided to stock up on the steel reinforced Magpul AK mags they have for under $9/each

Not the steel reinforced M3's. Unless they had a typo? That is way under distributor pricing. |

Sell off the Bushnell for $50 and had 10 M3's for just over $8 each with shipping. |
