And the original Norinco 5.56 mags pop up on the equipment exchange here from time to time. They are expensive, usually close to $100, although I have seen them as low as $60 before.

I was at a match with a guy who had one of those mags. He couldn't get it to work in his 5.56 ak. He said he was so disgusted with it that he'd trade it for a good AR mag. I said 'like this Brownells mag'. When I found it didn't work in my WASR-3, I sold it on the EE for $75. Besides being a good story, it confirms you will need to pay a lot for an original. |

I use ProMag AK-A5 with some minor modifications. Not the best quality but inexpensive.

I found 2 of them and both were snaked out from under me before I could buy. If anyone finds any, please send me a PM. Having a rough time getting one of these.

I was fortunate enough to buy mine with 6 mags. I have tried tapco, circle 10, and M85 mags but only the 84s mags have fit.

Just file a slight amount at a time and keep testing it as you don't want it too loose and if you file too much the piece becomes too prone to breakage. |

Didn't know they were that rare. Just picked up one at the pawn shop for $15. Had a big sticker on it "NOT FOR SAIGAS".

The Bulgarian mags will not fit the Norinco 5.56, I have both rifles and both mags and tried it.

It is hit or miss with the circle 10 mags. I had 3 Norinco 556 rifes. Two of them worked with all circle 10s, one only worked with the clear circle 10s. I was lucky enough to get a bunch a the original mags when i bought one of the rifles. The norinco mags would not fit in the bulgarian rifles...

The Norinco 556 rifles don't have a bullet guide. The front of the factory mags handle that duty. Back in the day, mid 90's, I matched the profile of the front of the factory mags and relieved the feed lips on 545 (AK74) mags -- they fit the gun with no mods. Could only feed 20 rounds w/o jam. When adding a follower that allowed the rounds to tilt down as the mag was loaded they became 100% reliable. Today if I needed mags and had none to start with, I'd install a bullet guide, and mod 74 mags.

Will the M85 PAP .223 mags work in the Norinco 84S? Anyone have any experience with this?
