| I have 16 Izhevsk and 17 Tula 30rd Bakelite mags in my collection. I have one type 1 Tula and one type 2 Izhevsk. The majority are type 3s in both and a few Type 4 Izhevsk. Some have the reinforced feed lips, however 14 appear to not be reinforced and only 4 have the same factory numbers. I would like to use 3 or 4 and save the rest as collectables. Which ones should I select to use in a rifle (the least collectable)? Are the non-reinforced feed lip mags less durable? Any help would be greatly appreciated. |

Quoted:
Is there a resource on which bakelite mags are the rarest? You can check other sites like akfiles.com or theakforum.net. That said it's really relative to current events. 4-5 years ago most bakelites we're around $70. Also Tula's were rarer but I've read reports of a lot of Tula bakelites with this batch. In the end it's what somebody wants and is willing to pay for it. |
