I found some Bakelite 47/74 mags local in my area on Armslist. I think he wants $60 a piece.

Join the Bakelite group on Facebook. I just bought (4) Izhmash 30 round mage for 7.62X39....steel feed lips...never issued or even loaded in a gun. I paid $65 each. They're gorgeous! Last year at this time I bought a set of Bulgarian bakelite hand guards for my under folder and was steered tow where I could obtain a nice never issued serial numbers matching circle 10 bakelite bayonette. That group has been a godsend.

I picked up this Izhmash at a local show this morning for $55. I've never read up on them, but I decided I wanted to have just one. The dealer was selling ones with Cyrillic markings for $70 and first generation (?) with the long top for $80. All of them appeared to be unused, as far as I could tell, but this is my first time looking at them up close. He had both Izhmash and Tula mags - about ten each of the $70 and $80 mags and twenty or so of the $55 mags. He said he had just found a batch of them. I wish I'd been more interested in AKs back when these were more affordable. I would have grabbed a Tula also, but I didn't feel like spending $55 twice. Maybe next show...

Looks like a supply of them must have made it across the water or something. DK Firearms (no experience ordering from them) is listing them for the same price, but with free shipping over $90 (2+ magazines):

SGAmmo has been out of stock for a week or so. With free shipping for 2+ mags and no sales tax, I think DK Firearms will end up being cheaper, and they're in stock.

With these crates full of phenolic mags coming in, why are they still commanding such high prices? Surely the supply is catching up with demand by now...?

Placed on order with DK Firearms on Dec 15, it shipped on the 17th, and arrived yesterday, Dec 19. I put a note in my order asking for them to include at least one Tula in the order, since I already had an Izhmash. They shipped me one of each. Both magazines look very lightly used, if at all (I'm not sure what a brand new Bakelite mag looks like). The Tula has a few scratches on the sides and magazine well wear at the top, but both look good otherwise - no evidence that they been dropped or banged around. Insides look clean, no real carbon that I can find, just a little Cosmoline. The one on the left in all three photos below is the first Izhmash that I got at a show last weekend, the middle is the Izhmash from DK Firearms, and right is the Tula. The Tula doesn't have any ink stamping on it that I can see. I'd say DK Firearms is good to go, and the free shipping is great. I'd recommend them. They're expensive, but I guess it's what the market is charging for them. I found some listed online for as high as $100, and number of places in the $70 range.
The two Izhmash mags have different baseplates. I know there were several (four?) styles of baseplates used on these mags, but is either style specific to one of the brands, or is it just a matter of when they were produced?  Attached File Attached File Attached File |

Can recommend DK as well. I placed my order on the 22nd and got mine today (not bad, given the timing. I don't begrudge them that).
The two I received are absolutely gorgeous and look, if not unissued then used minimally. I'm extremely new to the AK game but these have been cheapest I've seen barring someone looking for a quick sale in the EE. |

If you have a choice get the ones with steel reinforced feed lips instead of just plastic. They came both ways.

I found this handy guide to the different generations of Izhmash bakelite magazines in this archived thread from 2016. That answered my question about the two baseplate styles.
