Magpul AK MOE or AK GEN M3 mags? Looking to stock up on some AK mags - Are the Magpul AK MOE ok or are the Magpul AK GEN M3 mags really that much beter and worth double the price? Already have some steel standard 30 round AK mags, just want to stock up some more for EOTWAWKI or more future Democrat administrations. :) Thanks - Eric https://magpul.com/pmag-30-ak-akm-moe.html?mp_global_color=118 https://magpul.com/pmag-30-ak-akm-gen-m3.html?mp_global_color=118 |

Are they worth double the price ? That’s up to you to make that decision unfortunately. |

| I recently unearthed 8 Bulgarian steel 30rnd mags new in the plastic from the depths of my safe. I forgot I had them. I know everyone praises the polymer waffles but what of the steel Bulgy mags? Are they good to go? |

I think the consensus is that they are not quite as good as combloc surplus but better than Korean mags. I think the only difference between the Bulgy commercial and surplus is the plastic follower. |

If money matters steel surplus is the way. Magpuls seem to be fine but I dont have a ton of use into them (maybe 1k rounds in a newer US milled AK). I have bakes that are well used and the beat to shit (and I mean vet bringback beat to shit 7.62 that I got 30 years ago) one does jam certain guns but the mil spec steel runs in everything. Good milspec steel never fails. |

| I love polymer mags because of the weight savings and also they don’t rust. If I were starting over today I’d go PSA for 7.62 polymer magazines because they are just as tough as circle 10 magazines with metal reinforced feed lips and lugs for under $30 each. The Gen 1 waffles are cool because you can easily cut them down to 20 round magazines. Of course as others have said combloc steel mags are good too. |

The PSA mags have been great for me. I've been beating on the non reinforced Magpul mags for years, range days, classes, competition, you name it, and have yet to have one fail. Doesn't bother me to use one with plastic tabs. Apparently throwing a rifle with a plastic tabbed mag into a bucket at a run still isn't enough of a small jolt a previous poster was talking about breaking the mags |
