Two are actually flat backs, one is a ridge back! I have a forth, not pictured. It is covered with long dead and dried out masking tape of some sort on three sides. Looks like someone had once taped two mags together. I'll have to check and see if it is flat or ridge.

So how does the state know if you bought some used mags while on vacay and drove em back home? Just curious how they address that.

They have to prove you didn't have them before 2000. You don't have to prove you had them before 2000. With that said, unfortunately I haven't been to free America in 6 months... I had California registered Assault weapons (AK and AR) back in 1989 that I sold in 2000 when I was out on disability retirement. These mags go back to then. |

I just realized that flat backs (4th pattern) have steel reinforced feed lips and ridgebacks don't. I checked the feed lips in all four with a magnet, , and only the ridgeback (3rd pattern) doesn't have steel in the lips. I always thought it was only 1st pattern (Tula) and 2nd pattern (Izzy), with the long top section had no steel. My fourth mag with the tape on it, is also a flat back.

I've noticed only about 5% of Izzy 3rd gens have steel reinforced feed lips as opposed to Tula 3rd gens are about 90%. Tula always seemed to go all the way. 4th and 5th gens are almost guaranteed to have reinforced feed lips but I have come across a couple Izzy that didn't. Could we get some pictures of the mold numbers? they may be Cyrillic. |

I have a storage shed/workshop in the back part of the property. It has been mostly storage for tons of unopened boxes from our last move when we bought this house 4 years ago. Some of these boxes have been packed since 2000 or so, and have been moved numerous times. Finally wanting to reclaim my workshop and work bench to access my industrial drill press (I want to do an 80% AR lower on it), I bit the bullet and started pulling out boxes and emptying them. What did I find, but some orange bakelite Izhmash 30 round magazines! I lost track of them so long ago, I actually forgot I had them. They were in a box of web gear and pouches from back when I did gunshows, way back when (1988 to `about 2000). What a sweet surprise. While I know they can be found from time to time for $35 to $45 online, I am stuck in Kalifornication, where I am limited to high capacity that I legally possessed before 2000. Izzy joy! <a href="http://s247.photobucket.com/user/imarangemaster/media/Izzy%20mags_zps85ogwrlz.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg134/imarangemaster/Izzy%20mags_zps85ogwrlz.jpg</a> <a href="http://s247.photobucket.com/user/imarangemaster/media/Izzy1_zpszme73qjw.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg134/imarangemaster/Izzy1_zpszme73qjw.jpg</a> I had some Tapco smooth side orange mags that were OK, but they the lacked the steel lugs front and rear. I converted them to 10 rounders and sold them locally. I am REALLY happy! Nice...all the Californian liberals feel safer with that mod to your pistol grip. Man they have some dumb ass laws there. |
