A great friend gave me a bunch of 5.56mm AK mags, but he bought them years ago and doesn't remember exactly what rifles they are for, and I haven't been able to identify this one...

Too curved for 5.56.  Looks like 5.45.

I think you might be correct.  I need to find some better pics of the Tantal magazine to confirm.
Thanks!

Polish Tantal 5.45x39 mag.



Chinese 5.56 mags only have two "bars" across the bottom
