I have been searching the web for 30 round Hungarian magazines in stock. Can't seem to locate any. I need three of them to fullfill my OCD needs. I have 2 Hungarian 5 cell pouches, and one of them only has 3 mags in it. I found a 5 cell pouch that has 5 "Surplus" mags that might be Hungarian, or might be something else. Can't brig myself to gamble on that and wind up with another pouch that would only need to be filled...  I am loosing sleep |

Hungarian 20s and 30s are my favorite AK mags. I found some on GB. Right @ 12 bucks each after tax and shipping for 6 of them. We shall see what they actually are when they get here. But now my OCD is still twitching because I got six and will basically be in the same boat. Number of mags not matching my number of pouches. It never ends.

There are paint-over-park Hungarian mags (my favorite) and some that are blued. I can't say for certain the blued ones aren't refinished or just later production. Mine were acquired in 1985 with additional ones bought in the early 1990s. I didn't see the blued ones until 20+ years later. IIRC, from just my memory, the blued ones typically have different stamps/proof marks. Maybe made by a different manufacturer? |

OK that time line completely makes sense to me because the first Hungarian mags I know of came with Kasner imports. Now that I am thinking about it, I bought some a few years ago that I think may have been blued which had a "Made in Hungary" sticker on them - I would need to dig them up. Then there are the 20rd "Tanker" mags that were all the rage like 10 years ago. Anyone have any of those handy to say what the finish is? |
I've not seen them with any other finish than this.
