For that price I'll wait for reviews. If they are like the 47 MOE mags or less than a home run I'll stick with the Tapcos which are awesome AK mags.

Wish they made 5.56 AK PMags. I'm planning on buying a few of these and seeing how well they work with 5.56, and if there are issues, see if they will function properly with only a follower swap. Even if they run downloaded to 25rd or so, it would be great if they could easily work in SLR 106 and similar. |

Good to see these so let's hope there are no reliability issues. After initially offering other mags in the past, Magpul has followed with improved "Gen2" and "Gen3"…….. After spending money on bunches of various mags, the last thing I want to see is "improved" versions. Makes a guy feel like he's dealing with faulty equipment. I've been through this before as I'm sure many of you have as well.

I've been through this before as I'm sure many of you have as well. I don't mind what they did with the AR mags. That seemed like a natural evolution. Given their experience and easily found info on why AK mags are really strong what they did with the AK mags seems like.......well.....I think you know where I'm going with this. I just don't get potentially tarnishing your rep for certain products just to potentially make a couple more bucks. Although I guess not many gun owners outside of forums know the deal. They just probably think, well my AR mags and most other stuff Magpul puts out is solid....... |

anyone know if they intend to come out with a gen 3 version for 5.45? I see in pre-order they have only MOE mags which are that are not metal reinforced. If they meet the around 25.00 price point for their gen 3 5.45x39 mags I will buy the hell out of them.

Hope you guys get your mags soon, but Magpul's history is they will deliver sooner or later, just mostly later.
But I have no doubt they will run. |

I hope they bring these out in 20rd.
The non-metal reinforced aspect doesn't scare me. I have Bulgarian poly's and East German Bakelite mags for my Saiga...but I have mainly used four Tapco 5.45 mags for the range, and they work great. |

I agree, both 10s and 20s will be a welcome addition. I don't care what people say about the Magpul AK mags, they seem to feed better than any other mag I've tried! If you've ever loaded mags using a Lula loader, you can instantly tell how smooth the Magpuls load/feed! |

I hope magpul designed these to use the AK74 stripper clips. Tapco designed their 74 mag to use them.
The AK74 strip clips work really well to load Tapco or military mags. |

True enough, but the Tapco mag I got with my DDI AK74 didn't work at all, so the stripping of rounds was not very important at that point.

I checked on the magpul site, and the photo of their notional AK74 magazine shows the slots for charger guide, so it would appear they are including this.

I still have 24 surplus AK74 mags I bought for $3 each. Now I feel like I overpaid for all my Bulgarian brown mags, Bulgarian black mags, and Russian plum mags at $6 each a few years ago. One day about 6 months ago, I thought, "I should pick some more of those up when they go on sale" and then had my eyes bug out when I saw what they're going for now. Insane. I completely held off on Magpul mags for ARs simply because they were pricey (and still are if you get the newer ones) and then saw they kept making new versions. I'll just wait until they perfect it finally or the latest version gets really cheap, whichever comes first. I picked up some AK MOE (all plastic) mags just for kicks, and I love them. Flawless so far, but if they make a newer version with improvements, I'm going to feel like I was slighted somehow for being an early adopter.

I bought three of these and so far they are working great. I have a DDI AK-74 with magpul furniture and an AK-74 built to resemble an issue Afghanistan Soviet AK74, and the mags work fine in both of them.

No amount of complaining is going to change material science. If you want PMags for larger case-size cartridges, put your market demand on manufacturers to follow along with the LWRCI 6.8 pattern receivers. If the receiver sets were available at a reasonable cost and someone wanted to start making 5.45 rifles with them, and could get a large enough market potential then maybe you'd get magazines. |
