I bought a boatload to stay 922R compliant with my AMD 65s. The orange ones look awesome IMO.

I know I'm late to the party, but I have 8 tapco 30 rounders for my Romanian WASR10, and they all function flawlessly.

Here is what I got from Tapco six days ago when I asked about them making smooth side 5.45 mags:
"Thanks for checking with us ! The honest answer is that we may or may not make them. We’ll probably evaluate how well the AK-47 smoothside mags sell, and then make a decision based on that. So right now it’s on the “maybe” list. I think if you give us 6 months or so I’ll have a more definite answer for you. Again, thank you for the kind words and for choosing TAPCO.

would love to get some of those if they made them with metal mag lips, I think they are missing out on that niche market since there is an apparent lack of surplus mags coming in

I retract my earlier ingnorance, after actually learning a lot more about the wildly varying tolorances involved in WASR10 mag housings, and general research done, I apologize for the stupidity. I have since "manned up" and filed them, and they fit fine, a good bit of material was removed from the front left locking tab, the sides, and a small amount on the rear left and right tabs bedside the rear locking lip. But I recently got rid of the rifle, due to other issues with quality, and purchased a 5.45 74, and the tapco mag included functions flawlessly and I plan on purchasing many more, especially if I see some PLUM hitting the shelves, but black looks great too!

Picked up 2 of these NIB today at gun show for $7 each, seem to be really solid and feed well. Probably going back to pick up a few more.

There were no "torture tests" done to the mags, one broke off in normal use, the other broke off with a slight hit to the mag. Originally Posted By Damiean:

Also I want to know how can I tell the difference from the old (lesser quality from what I hear) from the new and improved ones, so if I order from a supplier I can know before they ship them. Is it just the side stamp Tapco USA and the follower that says USA or is there more? hoping to order tomorrow so if you could let me know! Thanks for all the active responses here, forums bring out the most difficult people to deal with. Hello there! There were some spring issues and tab issues a year or so ago.. maybe two years ago at this point. But yes, we've worked those issues out and everything that you would get now should be the current design. if for any reason your mags fail you, of course we will make it good for you. I think you'll be pleased with them. Let me know if you have any other questions! Im not sure what you mean by "issues" with the tab. Like I said I loved your mags, I had two in OD green for my AK74. Im not sure that steel feed lips are absolutly necessary, but I cant understand how a tiny piece of plastic tab is supposed to take any strain. If you could just put a small steel tab in the back (like every military issue mag), you would have a very winning design. It doesnt matter if there were issues with the tab, plastic is plastic. There is a reason why US Palm spent the money to put metal locking tabs in their product. Originally Posted By gasitman:

I don't know what you guys are doing with your mags, but unless your at war with them, I fail to see how they do not function? I go to the range and pits, shoot 100's of rounds and nothing jams, I think some of you just think you need to spend $50 on a mag, then prove to yourself that it is better. I would bet 99% of you will never take these mags to battle, and if you do, I am sure you can find some metal ones laying on the ground you can pick up. People just need to spend tons of money to make themselves feel better I think. Well military surplus mags can often be found cheaper than these, so your argument doesnt hold up very well. They dont need to be metal to be tough, many mil-surp mags arent metal-bodied and are very tough. The problem is that they have metal at crucial points, whereas these dont. |
