Seems that gunmag warehouse has Bulgarian 45rd 5.56 mags in stock now. I'm probably going to have to grab a couple to try.

Beat me to posting it, but I've liked this line of Bulgarian mags frm GMW so far, so I'll probably get a couple in green and black to test too.

Someone needs to bring a 5.56 RPK to the market.  

This is a golden age for 5.56 AK mags!

ETA - I found this idly searching 5.56 RPKs - it's loooong out of production in Serbia but damn, I'd be on that like white on rice if Zastava USA could get them to tool up for it.

That's pretty slick. Zastava would seem to be a good contender to bring an import 556 rpk to market. I suppose the Bulgarians could make a milled 556 one for import as well.

The Bulgarians had a fit of a time with their sam5, milled non RPK 556 ak.  Overgassed and beating themselves to death.

They came and went years ago. Molot built, with the side folding stock.

Hmm. I got to looking around and the rifle i was thinking of was a US made Arsenal. No clue if they were any good, though they are discontinued now.

RPK-5

They're pretty nice and definitely worth $20.

I got mine in yesterday. They fit in my stamped and milled arsenals, WBP, beryl, PSA, saiga, and vepr.  I've used the other bulgarian mags a ton without any issues.

Aww hell. I'm in for several of these for my PSA Krink

The 30 rounders work perfect
I expect the same from these

I almost traded into one last year but decided against it. I didn't hear if they had problems. I wanted a regular sam5 but heard they had problems.

As for the 45 rounders I see the FDE resemble bakelites so I ordered one and a black. I wish they had that color in the 30 round variety to go with my psa 101 afghan 74 clonish rifle.

I ordered a few of the 30rd mags earlier this year. Not knowing anything about AKs or mag compatibility issues. But they were cheap enough to try. Guess I lucked out.



I just ordered a handful more of the 30rd mags in different colors, passed on the 45rd mags but maybe I should grab a couple for good measure.

I have one of those Zastava M82's, minus the carry handle.

STG-Fish and 71Camaro427, I know they'll lock in, but did you actually run it in your Zastava?
