Anyone know about the Polish polymer 30 round  magazines that are advertised as being made for their special forces?

What do you want to know about them?
I had 50+ at one time but the prices skyrocketed on them and I turned a profit on mine. They are a high quality polymer mag, almost as nice as the Bulgarian waffles IMO.

As far as I can tell they are the lightest 30 round 7.62 mags made at 7.01 oz.

From what I recall, the Russian aluminum waffle had them beat?

A Soviet aluminum waffle I weighed was 6.75 oz., but I think those Polish polyamide mags are much better if you're going to actually use them rather than keep them in plastic baggies in a magazine collection..

I just wanted to know about their reliability or any negative issues using these mags.

Many if not most of these mags will have or will develop small fissure cracks of the polymer around the front spine and feed lip areas.

These cracks can lead to chipping of polymer material. I have seen only one instance were a mag was unusable due to this but all these Polish Polymer 7.62x39 mags have this potential issue. I suspect this was "one" reason why they were surplused.

Yep- same brand new mags stored unloaded and unused here.  Little cracks have indeed developed.
