Need help IDing mag I found in my stash. Single rib no markings looks like a FDL mag without the FDL.

It’s exactly what you described, Single rib no markings looks like a FDL mag without the FDL. If I recall correctly, these were made by the Bosnians during the Yugoslav Civil war. Does it have the flat spring or the typical AK coiled spring? I think these were more rare than the FDL mags.

From my understanding, The fact it has a flat spring makes it even more rare.
Would you mind posting pics of the mag disassembled? Especially Pics of the follower and flat spring? |

Does the flat spring function any better or different than a wire spring? Just wondering why they chose the flat over the wire.

I have no first hand experience with the flat spring, as my mag has the normal AK coiled spring, but if I recall correctly, I remember it being mentioned that the flat spring wasn’t as reliable. Again, not speaking from first hand experience, just what I recall being mentioned in the past. |

IMHO, the lack of flat springs in most modern high capacity magazines speaks for itself.
BREN, BAR, bolt action rifles, not much else out there that I can think of using flat springs... |

I was thinking they must have used the flat spring due to not being able to get material or manufacture the wire springs.
