Plus, if you are used to standard Warsaw length folders it feels weird to shoot a SAM7SF, the LOP is just uncomfortable imo. That and costing the same as a Galil Ace are what keep me from purchasing one. |

Update to my mag post earlier: I have about 50 (assorted) that arrived. All polymers, including Circle 10, are a very tight fit. Ironically, KCI steels are the best fitting and seem to be just as reliable. I thought I would have a much harder time finding steel mags that fit. As always, YMMV.

Nice buy OP! You'll love it, best AK on the market today. Even at the 2K gunbroker price tag these are still a fantastic deal. I expect an another import ban to be coming soon and Arsenal's will be a thing of the past. Once that happens the SAM7's will be selling for 3/4k easily.

I'd recommend checking out these two recent magazine threads for good recommendations:
Which magazine? Best 7.62x39 mags going at the moment? I think the Bulgarian commercial steel mags and the steel-reinforced polymer mags are pretty good options right now for price ($15-$18) vs. reliability and durability. It's unfortunate that good condition surplus steel mags are in the $20-$25 range these days, when you find them in stock. |

When it comes to magazines, if you just need affordable and reliable mags, the newer Bulgarian polymers are hard to beat and they should be in the $10 range. Otherwise, my suggestion is any military mag made by a country that issued AKs. The days of uber cheap AK mags are over.

Quote HistoryQuoted: When it comes to magazines, if you just need affordable and reliable mags, the newer Bulgarian polymers are hard to beat and they should be in the $10 range. There are two versions of the Bulgarian polymer mags. One is described as "steel lined" but has polymer locking lugs. They used to sell for $10-$12 a few years ago, but everywhere I'm seeing them listed now has them in the $15-$16 range. The second version (more desirable, in my opinion) has steel-reinforced front and rear locking lugs. The rear lug is polymer, but has a steel wrap over it to strengthen it. These list seem for $19.99, and while they were often discounted to $15-$16, it doesn't look like anyone has them on sale these days. The same two versions are available in 5.45x39, in case anyone is looking for those. I prefer the more expensive reinforced locking lug version, both for durability and because they lock up tighter. Edit: Correction, Atlantic Firearms has the reinforced locking lug version in stock for $17.99: AK47 Magazine Polymer-Bulgarian |

You never know, you might get lucky on GB. You can also look on eBay or auctions. I think what happens sometimes on GB or eBay is people get caught up in a bidding frenzy and wind up paying more than they should. I just set a price on what I'm willing to pay and if someone outbids me at that point, I pull out. I've been very lucky on auctions with mislabeled or misidentified equipment, very lucky - and I'm talking auction sites where they sell coins, jewelry, estate stuff, and other crap like that. The auctions sites may not know exactly what they have in their hands. One AK bayonet may look like another. I've purchased stuff from overseas before no problem, never from Australia though, so you'll have to check. In fact, I have a Bulgarian AR-M1 bayonet coming from Bulgaria right now. Double-check the shipping so you don't get screwed in their dollar converted lower price + shipping versus US higher price plus shipping. I did that once and learned. Northridge is good to go. I've ordered stuff from them for years. |

The difference will be in longevity and reliability. I think the best of both would be the good Bulgarian polymers with steel reinforcement. I would say get surplus, but those are become increasingly expensive and/or hard to find.

Here's an example of a misidentified bayonet that just sold a few minutes ago on eBay for $62. It was listed as "US German Japan US Military Bayonet Knife Excellent", but it's actually a Chinese AKM Type 2. There are a number of those for sale on GB at the moment for about $135, although the typical sale price for those is about $100. I've been watching it for days to see what it would go for. I already have one or I would have bid too.

How much different can they be? There was a discussion about the Bulgarian commercial steel mags here about a year ago. My understanding coming out of that is that they are produced using either the same tooling, or tooling made to the same specs as, the Bulgarian military magazines. I weighed a Bulgarian surplus mag and one of the commercial mags on a postal scale, and the commercial mag actually turned out to be slightly heavier than the surplus mag (by about 0.2 oz, I think). I've been trying to find the photos I took of the scale showing the weights of each mag but haven't located them yet. From what I can tell, the only real difference, aside from the glossy coating on the commercial mags, is the plastic follower and locking plate at the bottom (the actual baseplate is metal). Some people have complained about those plastic parts, but it doesn't seem to be an issue with Circle 10 mags, so I'm not sure why it makes a difference in these. I found an old Numrich listing for the commercial steel mags, on sale for $11.95, but they're unfortunately closer to $20 these days if you can find them in stock. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Completely disagree. The barrel, fit and finish, accuracy, are all a step above Arsenal. I've owned both. I really wanted to love the ACE. It had great ergonomics, better sights, and a better finish along with some more modern features like a quad rail. That said I'd give the barrel edge to Arsenal. Their barrels can go 100k rounds and Ron from BFV backed that up. I talked to IWI and they claimed the barrel life on their 7.62x39 ACE was 40k rounds or so, but that could be a conservative estimate. The trigger on the Arsenal is way better than the Galil ACE. The trigger on my SLR-101S (same gun as the SAM7) breaks at 3#. The last thing I'll say is this... the ACE has a slightly smoother action, but the Arsenal (speaking of the SAM7 here) shoots way smoother. The Galil ACE is obnoxiously overgassed and somewhat annoying to shoot. The whole aspect of shooting, IMO, is just much smoother and enjoyable on the SAM7. |

I really, really like the way the Circle 10 mags fit, but dang! Having a hard time busting out the wallet! A little clarification: that YT video is referring to the Bulgarian commercial polymer magazines that come in two versions which I was referring to in this post above. The magazines I was talking about in the post you quoted are all steel construction, patterned after Bulgarian military magazines, but now commercially produced in Bulgaria. Here are two listings for the all-steel magazines (both currently out of stock): GunMagWarehouse: Bulgarian AK-47 7.62x39mm 30-Round Steel Magazine AKOU: Bulgarian AK47 30rd Steel Magazines! Both the all-steel and the polymer magazines are good quality commercial mags, but I would personally stick with the steel reinforced polymers, out of the two polymer options available. As you mentioned, the YT video appears to have been made before they offered the steel-reinforced commercial polymer magazine. The brown colored magazine in the video is only made in the version with plastic locking lugs, as far as I know. The steel reinforced locking lug magazine is only available in black. This photo from the AKOU website is from the AK74 commercial polymer mag, but it shows the same parts that are added to the reinforced polymer AK47 mag:  I finally found the archived thread where I weighed a surplus steel magazine in comparison to a Bulgarian commercial steel. The surplus mag weighed more overall, but the body of the commercial mag weighed more than the surplus mag body: Mags? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I just ordered the bayo from Northridge, Thanks @CarlosC !! Excellent. Post pics when you get it. The one I ordered from Bulgaria just arrived today in perfect condition, unissued in fact. It looks just like the one you ordered, but it's made for an AK-47 type of mount with the hooks under the FSB. Here's the regular Type 4 M1983 you got  And the Type 4 AR-M1 I just got  pictures courtesy of worldofbayonets.com |

Would either one fit on the SAM7? I was also looking at the chinese one for around 80 bucks, it looks pretty neat. @3ACR_Scout That's some good info you posted and yes, I noticed the steel parts when I was looking at the Bulgi polymers. I think I'm going to order some.

OP, sorry to derail your thread, but did you pick your gun up? Any accessories?
