They showed 45 Yugo steel 30round mags in stock. @ $11.95 so I bought them all....

Must have found a box in the corner getting ready for the Black Friday sales.

Anyone try trimming the followers on the 10rd mags to see how may extra they hold?
Back in the day, trimming 1 inch off the follower of an AK 5 round mag yielded a 10rd capacity.
I'm guessing that doing the same thing would get 15-17 rds....

I don't know the answer to that question, but bear in mind that most 5-round mags are really 10-round mags that are limited. I don't think that's true of other magazine capacities, unless you're talking about a 10/30 or 20/30.

I'm afraid so.  The APEX above for $24.99 is as good as it gets.  

Don't feel bad, back in ?2008, these mags were going for $35 and up.  

I got a couple of M85's so I went crazy with buying these up.  I think the bottom was $7.95 + shipping.

The problem with surplus is when it dries up, it's gone sometimes for years or even forever.

yep. gone foe awhile

folk's make fun of Tapco but my M85 runs like a top with them. $6.95.

I have about 30 steel and 50 Tapco. what can I say.......tapco's work in mine.

Thanks for posting that as I didn't know Tapco made mags for these.

If you bought these with an "investment" thought, I can see it.  If you bought them thinking you'll need 130 (and 45 more) magazines in the next million years... well, might be a small dose of crazy going on.
