I hate to break it to you, but they're sold out.
Reports I saw were that most were in pretty good condition. Once word got out, they sold fast. |

In my experience their description of condition of the mags has been accurate, SG is an awesome place to order from.

My 20 were delivered today. The five in the upper left of the pic are regular euro and the other 15 are Yugo BHO. No significant dents, only some surface rust. Great deal if you don't mind a little rust.

No problem. Two of the non-Yugos don't have any rust that I can see and the really black finished one only has a spot of rust on the floor plate. In all, I'd say 2-3 have bad rust issues.

I got my 10 in today, all Romanian. They all look to be in good to very good condition. All of them have been issued and show wear, like you would expect issued mags to look. One of the mags has a slightly bent floor plate and the follower won't go down in the mag. The other 9 mags are solid with no rust and ready to go. I will see if I can get the other mag working.
My plan is to strip them down, clean, wire brush and hit with a fresh coat of appliance paint. Thank you to Sam and the SG crew for bringing us this great deal. |

Hello AR15, There will be more of these dent/ding/rusty mags. This is all the 'junk' or questionable mags we sort out of the mix the in inspection process of a large lot we are going through. Some of these have hidden problems that might not meet the eye such as seized followers, dents in the body that restrict the follower, dents that restrict the cartridges movement when the mag is loaded, Rust, bent feed lips, bent floorplates, anything we think is just not right. There are some mags that get thrown in the mix that work fine and some that just have a lot of finish wear, but I would not recommend buying them in hopes of getting good mags that are just ugly. Many of them will require repair by popping out dents. Its really rather easy to fix AK mags because the mild steel sheet metal used in construction is very easy to form back into place when bent. In all the returns I have received from customers of 'broken' AK mags I have never found a single AK mag I could not fix in less than 5 minutes with combination some simple tools, problem solving logic, and elbow grease, but the fact is my times worth a lot more money doing other stuff and so is the time of my employees. Given that it just makes more sense to get rid of these quick and make up the loss by charging a little more for the nicer mags. Please don't buy these unless you are prepared to take the worst case condition and repair them
Also... filthyphil, I don't understand why you have to go around the web and talk trash on every AK forum about this one mag with scuffed floor plate and a bit of the bottom of the body. For the record, You sent me a one-line email saying "this mag is not in good condition", I replied offering to buy it back. You never replied back again and the terms and cost of the proposed return shipment were never discussed at all, so you are making a misleading statement. It seems like you just prefer to have a $9 excuse to go around the internet and imply to people that we are a 'bull-shit' dealer who sells junk and rips people off. These were sold as used mags for $9 each, not $7 as you state. You only bought 4 at the rate of $8.95 each, not 75 to get them for quantity discounted rate of $6.95, and the mag works in good functional condition, its just not pretty around the floor plate. You bought 4 of them total for $35.80+ shipping, which means if you were so unhappy with this one and you just threw it away then the 3 you liked would have been $11.93 each, which is still just as cheap if not better than most dealers price on military AK mags in such a small quantity. Again the mag works fine as you admit and if you wanted to pretty it up you could just file the rough edge, bend the floorplate strait and paint. We tried to accommodate your dissatisfaction with zero cooperation on your behalf and you have used the situation to spread bad information on at least this forum and the AK files. Not cool at all. I hope you like buying your junk elsewhere because your business is not welcome here again at all for anything, period |

The 50 I got were in pretty good shape there were a few that would need more work to get in working condition, but it is only due to floor plate dents. There were a few that seems to have no issue they are great for the price and I have already ordered more. I plan to used these mags to stock up and used them for the range.

I got 20, 17 functioned fine, zero had rust like in the pictures, guess I lucked out. I tested each and loaded them all with a lula loader, so I know all but three work with no problems as far as loading. Have not shot any of them yet but they look like they should function just fine. Amazing deal to get functional steel mags at almost half the price of normal used surplus mags.

I refinish 4 mags with Brownells Aluma-Hyde II in Dark Earth (since I already it on hand). I think the mags turned out pretty good. I haven’t tested all of them at the range yet but 9 loaded and hand test just fine. The really rusted one will only load 27 rounds, so I’ll just make that a range mag. All in all I think it was a great deal even though they are project mags.
I’ve come to expect surplus mag to have some type of imperfection. To me those imperfections just add character to my mags.

I picked up 20 of their Euro surplus good-excellent condition mags. Overall, only two were in "good" condition with rust and significant finish wear, the rest were very good (medium finish wear, no rust) with one excellent (possible E. German). Outstanding deal for less than $9.00 each shipped.
Will probably order more on payday. |

looks are deceiving on some of these $5.35 mags, I would not trash them in our junk pile if I did not think something was not right about them. You may get mags that look brand new but the follower does not depress, or the mag does not feed, or the follower or rounds hang up in the body, etc etc. Buy these only if you expect to have to fix them, some look very nice in pictures post but the problems will be hidden at a glance

If you scrub the rust off with vinegar and let it sit for a bit before you clean and oil them, you get a cool looking patina that also gives a little protection against rust.

EVERY purchase I have ever made from SGammo was a very good-to-excellent deal
Bought a bunch of mags, and the worst one I ever got looks better than any armorer refurb after a little sandpaper, quick wash, cheap paint, and 30 minutes in the oven. The wonderful thing about steel mags in the first place, is that you can almost always make them work again, and 9 times out of 10 you can actually make them look good too. |

I love SGammo. I have purchased about 15k rounds of GT 7.62x39, maybe 60 Yugo BHO mags, a couple thousand rounds of 9mm 147 HST and 230 gr 45 GDHPs. Oh and hundreds of shells of 12gauge. All of it arrived in good condition. Of the mags, some were slightly rusted but it never bothered me any. They are surplus after all. What surprises me is the ridiculous amounts of cosmoline in some of them, but hey thats what the serbs had to do to ensure they'd last 50 years, I got no problems with it.
Im currently unemployed waiting for school to start so I have no money or Id be doing more business with sgammo. |

I just got my 10 steel Euro mags for $79 from SGammo.
Was pleased when i opened the box. Out of the 10 mags i got 3 were East German,2 Polish mags,4 Romanian, and the sweet Russian Izzy with proofmarks. 
Only one of the Romy mags had a slightly stuck follower which fixed up easily.Mags looked new with minor handling wear. Thanks Sam |
