Russia did make 20 rounders for certain applications (both bakelite and plum colored)
but I have never seen one in the US, and I do not know of a 'source' for any from anywhere else either. Someone asked me that question last night, as he wanted to set up a shoulder sling rig underneath an overcoat (with Krinkov of course). -C |

Tapco has them; 4 in a mag pouch for $50. They were made for the 'AMD' port-firing AK variant.

The mags that TAPCO has are for the AK-47 (7.62x39) and will not work in the AK-74 (5.45x39).
As already stated, there are no commercial sources for 20rd AK-74 magazines in the US.The only way to get them is to cut down a 30rd magazine,which is a fairly easy project. |

Where did you get that rascal? The only way to get them is to cut down a 30rd magazine,which is a fairly easy project. Easy for whom? Know anyone who wants to build some? Thanks again for the responses. Kill a Commie for Mommy... SD |

The 3-pointed man of wisdom nailed it...I bought it at a gunshow, someone local made it.
EG mags are dirt cheap used, the people who make them learned by trial and error. |

Go to the other forum and send HiCap a PM. I just ordered a couple of polymer 15 round 5.45 mags. $20 each shipped.

you can make your own 20 round mag, by taking a 30 round and cutting it down.....if you cut the last 1/2 inch or so off the bottom of the mag. then cut out the middle part, epoxy the bottom part to the remaining mag and cut like 3 coils off the spring you'll have a 20 round mag.
a 74 mag is like 5 bucks....the work involved doesn't take a engineering degree......and it sure beats paying 20 bucks for something you can do cheaper...... it's not rocket science to do it. |

Any formula for how much to cut out? Thanks much. SD |

well if you load 21 rounds, that will bring the bottom of the follower right above the "witness hole" on the back spine.......if you cut about 1/2 off the bottom, I would cut a tad above the witness hole {1/4-1/2 inch or so)...that should bring you to about 20 rounds.....give or take a couple rounds, either way after you epoxy the bottom to it.
I would strongly advise wearing a dust mask, as when you start cutting it's going to send up some dust. |

There are a lot of industrial waste, nucleur power plants, EPA Super Fund sites and chemical spill locations in Ohio.
As a result, problems like near sightedness and bug eyes are common. Not mention severe halitosis... Anyway, as a result of all the congenital vision problems, spray and pray weapons are very popular. |
