probably going to regret it, but ordered 2 7.62 Bakelite mags from the dreaded Florida gun works.

The 'Polish AK-47 Synthetic 30rd 7.62x39 mags'? At $40 a pop? Damn, Bulgarian Circle 10s are a damn 1/2 that price.

Depends on how much you like Bakelite. Some people are attracted to it, some are repulsed by it. Seeing how they haven't produced it for years (early 80's I Heard somewhere). The value should only go up. Don't count on any fully loaded containers showing up either, I already looked into it

Good luck with your order. I've heard nothing but bad things about Florida Gunworks. It's a shame Cope's is out of bakelites.

I got ripped by FGW. I can't believe they are still in business and their website is still up.

Looking at it (parts kit page), it seems nothing has changed except prices.

Buyer beware.

FGW has a terrible, schiester-ish reputation.

They have a reputation for stiffing people, do a Google search about " FGW problems" the list is long.

Their customer service and shipping leaves a LOT to be desired.  They'll gladly take your order but may or may not actually ship it.  Very long list of issues with them that weigh more on the side of getting ripped-off.
