[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Tapco Intrafuse Smooth Side "Plum" Magazines?????

Posted: 4/24/2017 7:23:58 PM EDT

Does anyone know if Tapco still makes the Plum magazines of their smooth side ones or know anywhere I could purchase some? I know they made them a few years ago but now all I can find are the orange and black ones. Any help would be useful. Thanks.

They are out there but I can't seem to find any to purchase. Unless someone knows a good rit dye that will get pretty close to that shade of plum.

I started with the Tapco plum magazine, used 2 parts wine rit dye and 1 part black rit dye and this is what I ended up with.

Nice! What factory color magazine did you use before you started the dye?

The tapco plum which is more purple, the Rit dye got it a nice shade of plum.

Damn, I wish I could get the Tapco mags to begin with. I emailed the company last week and they told me that they no longer produce the plum magazine nor have any plans to make them again.

I actually bought a few Orange and Black ones from there last week. They seem pretty nice for cheap priced magazines but I have to file them down a bit on the sides as my magwell is a little tight. The PMAGS slide in and secure with no issues though on my RH10. I'll probably give the tan ones a shot and dye them plum.

thanks for the heads up.... I hear that smooth sided Tapcos are pretty good, and I just got my first AK.. picked up some Yugo bolt hold opens, and snagged a ten pack of the Tapco Tan ones for $64.50 shipped.... at that price they'll make good range guns as my range days I don't run my mags hard.
