Are you talking about the ones from Blackthorne (I'll mention names)? They are good to go. I ordered some a while back and they are the real deal. I love Yugo mags, they are among my very favorites.
I have no love for Blackthorne BTW, but they did alright by me. |

OK. The Blackthorne/Hesse/Vulcan saga is well established here as well. That's why I replied about Blackthorne.

Dan's Ammo has Yugo mags. Nice price considering shipping is included. I just hit them for 6.
Check it out |

ammoman has them for 89 for 5 and 150 for 10.
Including shipping. If they are similar (good grade) then I would go with the ammoman ones... http://ammoman.com/index.htm |

What do you mean by this? Does that mean they aren't really Yugos or are of low quality? Anything someone could add would be great. I'm new to AKs so... I was planning of picking up at least 20 mags from them if they were of good quality and were reliable (as in at least 12 or so of the mags wouldn't give me the wobble thats notorious in WASRs). I only have the 2 right now that came with my rifle but 1 has the bad wobble (doesn't affect the feeding of the rifle yet however). But 2 is one and one is none so I need many more. THanks for any help guys. |

The AIM one's just have a rounded bump where the normal spine would be? As for your answer carc8521 the mags should be good to go just that all the Europian mags I have seen have had a spine. |

Whatever they are (I do believe they're Yugo), Widener's and Dan's both have the same magazines. Either is much better to deal with than Blackhessvulcan or scammoman and prices are comparable.

They look identical to the ones I got from Dan's. These mags have the flat-backed follower. A few seconds with a dremel and they would be BHO mags if someone was so inclined. The lack of a pronounced spine on these mags is actually kinda nice. |

I've got a bunch of great ak mags, but have never had BHO mags, that's why I jumped on these 
Then I was having a little trouble figuring out wether people were upset that they weren't good mags, or just that they weren't BHOs. |

I just got mine. They look like fine mags, a little grease on/in them. They're blued, looks like some very minor storage bumps/scrapes. I'm sure they'll work fine. They do have spines and are not bolt hold open, (well, they do have bho followers, so they will be  ). The spine stamps on some of them were 1, 6, M, and a star in a circle.

the importer claims they are made on Chinese machinery in Yugoslavia, but they do not HOLD OPEN, and Dans, Palmetto, Ammoman, Aim and Copes all got them from the same source and they are the same mags in the same shape.

Magazines were purchased from importer as BHO mags. Some orders were shipped yesterday and today before this was caught. This should have been caught before shipment and there really is no excuse. Customers who ordered from 44mag and do not want the magazines just email [email protected] for a return call tag or you can refuse the package.

I just created an account at 44MAG and ordered over $200 worth of these mags based on the product description being so definitive. $19 a mag is pretty steep considering other dealers which I have dealt with in the past are selling the same thing for $15 a pop. I also ordered a few Hungarian mag frames so I might as well bite the bullet on this one and keep my order to avoid having to place two orders - disappointing but I appreciate the fact that you replied on the forum. I hope the mags are at least hand selected for quality like the ad says.

This is what I received from 44mag.com today - I'm new to AKs, and it seems 44mag.com has already mentioned the problem, I'm just disappointed
 I'll drop them a line and see what we can work out. UPDATE - Mark from 44mag.com took care of the problem - great (and fast) customer service!

I got my shipment form ammoman of 20 of them last Monday. They seemed to be in very good condition. Haven't run them yet but I am planning on it this weekend.
I say its worth it for $15 per mag shipped. |
