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?

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

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. |
