Gentlemen, I was given this magazine today, and am trying to figure out the country of origin. Right side has no markings. Left side has a "2" in the arsenal mark location. Rear has an omega symbol in a diamond. I am guessing Polish. Anyone know for sure? Thanks! .JPG?dc=4675545460278643992) .JPG?dc=4675545460282966001) .JPG?dc=4675545460288088148)

| It looks like a plastic Polish Tantal mag to me. I've been told the early one's didn't have the caliber designation on them, the later ones did. I guess they started marking them after they started making 5.56x45 caliber rifles. I have examples both with and w/o the caliber marked on them. |
| Yes, everyone is correct in that it is a Polish 5.45 mag. I have 1 in my collection..when 1st look at it you think it is a Bulgy mag, as some of the black Bulgies have the "2" mold or lot #. But, this little proof/inspection mark throws it into another country. Hope this helps...Tommy. |
| Thanks guys! I have Bulgarians, Russians and East Germans at home, and know it matched none of those. I figured Polish, because that is the only other thing in country right now in any kind of quantity, but wanted confirmation. I had het to actaully see a Tantal Mag. It is now bagged, labled, and boxed with the rest of the stash! |
I am not sure who currently has the best price, but Dan's currently has them for $20 shipped. |
