A buddy of mine has an AK variant with the lable "ROMAK99M" on the side. I've got an SAR1 with a bunch of mags and a 75 round drum. He wanted to try out my drum, to which I said sure. My chinese drum didn't fit inside his mag well. In fact, after measuring it, my mag well is just about an inch and his is about 5/8, give or take. My mags stagger the 7.62X39 rounds, his are single file. Given my extremely limited knowledge of AK variants, could someone enlighten me on this? So I can enlighten him? Thanks. |
| Around 170-200 dollars. As far as I know, you can NOT get a larger mag than 10 rounds. No such thing as hi-cap mags for a none-hi-cap AK, why else would you spend 100+ more dollars on a hi-cap AK? It's possible to mod the mag well to accept hi-cap megs I think (some hi-cap AK's you can buy were once low-cap and modded into hi-cap), but don't think it's easy to do. |
| If you dremel the mag well wider and build up the feed ramps properly, a single stack AK can be made to work well for hi-caps. But there are many AKs where a vendor bought the $100 cheaper one (usually a WASR model), did a half assed job to make it a hi-cap, and sold someone a headache. |
