I picked up 11 of these mags and I was just wondering if you guys could help me to identify them. They all either have a 1 or 2 at the bottom near the base plate and metal in the lips, etc. Have a look at the pictures. OOOOPPPSSSSSSSSSSSS? ETA: I think that I made a boo boo
Thanks

Those are the original Polish synthetic mags that came into the country 8-10 years ago.
Not to be confused with the Radom or Circle 11 mags that were available in the last few years. They are steel reinforced (as you can tell), but there were some concerns about the strength of the polymer as well as the spring. ETA: The polymer always felt a bit hard/brittle/thin when compared to a Bulgarian waffle, but the few I've had over the years have held up fine. |

Those make me wish the Russians would import their polymer 7.62 AK mags in quantities.

I bought a bunch of those Polish mags in 04 from AIM for like $5 each they are nice mags.
I never had any problems with them cracking but remember reading and seeing some pics on the net. |

Fwiw, I have two, and they both cracked. They must have cracked while loaded in the safe. Which sucks, because I really liked them. I could find them and take a couple pic if you'd like.
I know polymers are cool and light, but I'm leaning back on European metal mags due to their robustness. |

I have 7 of the Polish ones left and I am thinking about dumping them for more metal mags. If you want to add pics of he mag damage in here, that would be cool.
