Going through some stuff I got in some horse trading and these were mixed in.

I think they are 5.56 as it seems to fit perfectly.

I can't tell Yugo from Chinese from Galil mags.  Any ideas?

Thanks for the info.
I have a buddy with one of these rifles so I'll give them to him.

It looks more like a yugo 5.56 for my m85 or a polytech 5.56.  Definetly not a norinco 5.56 mag

Looks like a Galil mag. Load it up and see if it holds 35 rounds.

So Norc/Chinese mags are really rare or something seriously?
Liberals are a curious mix of communism and fascism, they want to destroy you but want to use your own money to do it.

I'd rather be CALLED a fascist then BE a liberal.

Import ban on them back in the 80's I believe.

I understand that but are they a really good mag or is it just people want a Chinese mag for their Norinco because ''collecting?"

I too am curious, I have no 5.56 ak and have a few mags to get rid of.

Thats a zastava m85pv magazine, not Chinese. I have both polytech and norinco 5.56 mags and that isn't it.

You are correct. I have both Chinese as well from back when they were first imported and none look like the OP’s.

Imported AWB for firearms was in 1989.

all other things Norinco ban was 1993 thanks to Klinton

Then of course all mags over 10 rds, Norinco or not banned from 1994-2004

As the later replies say, they aren't  even close.

I'll see if the Unity mags can be filed to fit.

These mags went into the scrap metal pile.

Interesting  closing  to this.

These mags were on top of my trash to go out when a buddy came by. He asked if he could have them in trade.

Told him sure. Just wanted them gone. He comes back a week later with 5 Chinese  mags.

I think I used up a ton of karma on that deal.

Smooth back Chinese Mag is best magazine. I have 4 in 7.62. Hate the ribs on a normal mag.
