[ARCHIVED THREAD] - picked up some Chinese mags

Posted: 1/31/2015 11:08:47 AM EDT

I found 4 old Chinese Ak 30 round mags at a local hardware store. They are n.o.s. all have "made in china stickers". They are the non ribbed back mags.

Guy told me they had been there for years, he thought since the 80's.

I paid 20.00 per mag. Good deal?

I'm still new to Ak stuff,so

This!

If they are type 84 mags, they are worth a LOT more than x39 mags.

Decent price, but I paid $10 for mine. They were mixed in with the more common ribbed type, & the whole box was $10 per mag. But if you compare them to the ribbed mag, you will see the ribbed type is much more rugged at the top, by the feed lips. GARY

Very nice. I was buying them at $3.99 each before the ban in the Nineties, but I'd pay that much for more of them these days. I've never had a single issue with any of my Chinese mags.
