Hey guys, this is my first topic here and I've got a question. Does anyone know what the country of origin these magazines are?
http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/30-rd-ak-47-mag.aspx?a=1143559

The website doesn't say where they come from, and I just bought two of them so I am curious as to where they come from. All of the reviews say they're good mags, though.

Always a crap.shoot with them as they frequentlymix up descriptions and pics.

They ripped me off mags once claiming "typo" and I will never order from them again.

Pointman is right, you never know what you are going to get.  Twice I ordered stuff labeled as genuine USGI surplus, both times they sent me stuff with made in Korea tags on it, sent it back for refund, I don't order from them anymore.

$13 with free shipping. I have yet to find a place that offers them for cheaper, and SGAmmo's description isn't much better than Sportsman's Guide. Steel Mags are Steel Mags, as long as they feed reliably I dont care, and it's a bit too late to pass on them now.

I emailed them and they said they were polish.  I bought 5 of them and can look to see if there are any identifying marks when I get home later.

I ordered 1 of those mags back when it was free shipping and a $25 gift card. The one i got was a Yugo BHO.

I'll definitely let you guys know what I get when they get here! This week has definitely been an AK week. I go and pick up my Saiga from my FFL on Sunday, and I just got my conversion kit from Carolina Shooter's Supply today in the mail. Hopefully tomorrow or Monday my donkey dong Romanian furniture will get here and I can get to work :D

Agree with Brass Slinger on SGAmmo. I've bought several combloc steel mags from them. Their customer service alone (and consistently shipping out on same day ordered) makes the price difference pretty worth it.

Finally got the mags and they seem to be great!  I ordered two of them, the finish on both of them is at about 95% I'd say. Nice, strong springs  that have a really positive bounce back when I press the follower with my finger. They came in individual plastic bags and both were caked in cosmoline. I hope to get the to the range as soon as I get to work converting my Saiga.

The 4 I received were all excellent Yugo BHO. Individually wrapped in plastic with a light covering of cosmolene.

Yep. The ones I received are Yugo BHO in amazing condition.
