I don't know what country it is from but I do know it is an AK74 mag not an AK47 mag like the guy at the gun show was trying to tell me.
He had them in with a bunch of beat up 47 mags that he wanted $20ea for. I asked him how much for the 74 mags, he said what 74 mags, I picked up the three 74 mags & showed them to him, he said no those are 47 mags, I said OK you want 20 for them right, he said yep. I handed him $60 & walked off. It is not my fault he doesn't know the difference, the table next to him had the same thing for $30 Right side of mag 
left side of mag 
5.45x39 Silver Bear round in mag 
I hate paying this much for mags that 2 years ago I could buy a pack of 4 with carrier for $10. I know I'll be kicking myself when the price drops after this panic is over. 
Has anyone else found the "so called" professionals not knowing what they are talking about? |

Quoted:
Looks like a Black Polymer Radom AK74 mag (Polish) Very Close - it is a Polish Tantal 5.45x39 mm magazine. Polish AK-74 variant (different furniture for handguards regarding upper gas tube, left side selector lever) They were also made in stamped steel too, but the polymer mags are fully = to Bulgarian Circle 10 or Circle 21s or Russians. You got a Steal of a Deal on that for $20 these days! |

Tantal mags were made in steel until manufacturer bankrupted in 1994, then ZM Łucznik Radom '(11)' started to make polymer ones (also in 7.62x39mm and later in 5.56x45mm) BTW Technically Tantal is not AK-74 variant. Poland refused to buy license to manufacture AK-74 from Russians. Instead of that we developed own 5.45x39mm rifle, based on AKM (and some prototype 7.62 variants developed in late '70s). Poland also reverse engineered 5.45x39mm round to make our own ammo. |
