Why does it seem every where I look on the internet Tapco AK 47 magazines are being clearanced?
I picked up 10 of the magazines for about 60.00. I tested a few out the other day and they seem to work great in both of my AK's. I know they are polymer but it seems they are built like a tank except for the magazine catch nub is not metal. Even if they break sooner than the steel magazines they are cheap enough to replace. |

Can't answer that but I'm glad they're always on sale. I got my 10 smoothside mags from Primary Arms $7.99 each when they run sales, excellent mags even without steel reinforcement. I've seen and used countless Gen 1 waffle pattern Tapcos that are still functional after years of use and abuse so I consider them good to go.
They are my primary range mags so I can save all my Chinese flatbacks, Bulgarian commerical steel & (10) and Izhmash Bakelites for real use. |

The weight saving is one good reason. The three orange "Fakelite" Tapcos I bought recently were $4.99 apiece. I have plenty of steel mags, both 30 and 20rd.
The tapcos were a tight fit, and I had to give them light touch of sanding to fit my rifle...not much, did all three in 15min. I also bought two magpul 20rd mags. Those both fit fine. I like the light weight of these mags. |
