I've ordered from ORF before and the shipping of what I ordered to AZ was about $6.50 for 8 mags. UPS prices have gone up lately though with a fuel surcharge. Todd stated on the EE that he charges actual shipping, but even if the shipping is $16.00 for 12 mags, that comes to about $4.30 a mag. Where are you going to get AK-74 mags delivered to you at $4.30 a mag? If you have any source at that price in AZ delivered to your door, let me know. |

Anyone read this?
Guys, Gonna end the mag sale 12-3-05 at midnight, all phone orders must be in by 5pm Sat, online orders till midnight. Will start the next "sales" items that following Monday. Whats the "sales" items???? Maybe some kits, some other rare parts, mags, and extras. Todd@ORF |

I edited my earlier post after checking out the posts in the EE |

I'll take one package..... I assume bulgie mags can be spray painted......
|
|
Spray paint? Okay if I end up getting a decent amount of all the flavors then I will trade with some one because really all I want it Black and maybe some Plum. Maybe we can do a mag swap or something.
|
|
he wrote all of which is in black bold or you added on a bit? |
|
|
You could still order the 10 for $25 from Sportsman's Guide, even if they are backordered until the end of February. |

No thats a direct quote from him. |

Holy crap they're here!
11 black bulgy mags and 1 saddle brown (I think). 3 mag pouches to go with them. Still cosmoline on them. Will take pics. |
|
OH SHIT! take pics. |
|
|
Well, the first word is "Zvania" which means RANK. The second word is "Familia" which means family or last name. The third word I don't know........sorry. I try...............
The Bulgarian text on the third one says phonetically "DL-ZHNOST" which I don't know but the handwritten part says "Avtamat" which as you know refers to "full auto" or an AK rifle itself. |
|
P.S.
Those pics are getting me HYPED about the four 12 paks I have coming. Those marking are (in my book) cool!!!!! |
|
I hope i get writing on some of my 100+ mags I cant wait to see these mags come in |
|

Ok, I've been Googling, and I actually found a website that translates Bulgarian to English.
Here's what I have so far: Rank_________ Family________Zh. P. Muzhov Position_______Automatic Rifleman So, the first two agree with what you said, and I got a little clarification on the third line. The two remaining don't come up. I'm guessing the rank is abbreviated and I'm not surprised that the family name didn't show up. Here's the link to the page I used: www.eurodict.koralsoft.com/index.php (edited to add name after Tomovich so kindly posted it) |
|
The guys name was/is Zh. P. Muzhov as far as I can make it out.......... I didn't think of translating that. Sorry.
|
|
Got mine tonight. 11 black and one brown. All greasy. One pouch out of the 3 looks servicable. Might take it to the laundrymat and wash it.
Shipping was $10 for me. |
|
man I want some with writing on them...looks like a good bunch...also am hoping for some other colors than black...
|
|
Just got mine.Nine black and three brown.No writing except one brown has a circular stamp near the circle 21.Pouches look good no rips or tears.
I'll work on getting a pic up of the stamp. |
|
|
My brown one has the circle stamp also. I can't make out anything inside it, just a rough circle.
Busij44, you've got an ID tag on one of your pouches too!
|
|
|
It's in the same format as the name was on mine, so I'm guessing it's Last Name, First Initial, Second Initial. Maybe Tomovich will be along to translate it for you. The online translator doesn't do names!
|
|
It looks like the #12 with something written above it.I'll see what the digital can bring out. |

FEDEX just tried to deliver. No one home. Why the damn "Adult Signature" requirement? |
|
The material used on soviet 74 pouches is a light khaki color, as apposed to the green used by the bulgarians.
The soviet 'tab studs' are also made of what appears to be unfinished brass, whereas all the bulgarians ive seen have been black - usually a painted finish. All the soviet pouches ive seen have also had black leather tabs, whereas ive seen both brown and black tabs on the bulgarian specimens. These are the main differences. |
|
In that case my old pouch is Bulgy. Appears to have steel "tab studs" that were painted black.
To me, the material looks like it used to be green but has faded. Not really a khaki color. |

I ordered on the 24th and got the confirmation email but my credit card has never been charged.
Recent returns I have sent to netflix though the mail have all disappeared, all were dropped off inside of the Post Office. It's that time of year. |
|
busij44 ............. that says...........
On top "R-K" (I have NO idea ) The next line is a guy's name....... T. G. Georgeyev (pronounced gay-org-e-yev) Man.........I ordered on the first night also and I haven't even gotten a ship notice yet!!! The gang must be BURIED. You guys need any more translations.........feel free. |
|
And also............I just got done selling a $h!tload of brand new Bulgy 74 mag-paks (10's, 21's and 25's) and most all of them had those circular, unreadable stamps on them. Just final inspector stamps I'm sure................
|
|
Tomovich I order the same night and I live in ohio and stil havent seen any comfirmation I really want to get them. I emailed them they said they were swamped so I guess well just have to wait.
|
|
|
|
|
My first order was placed at noon on the 23rd,Monday,I placed a second order,it was added to the first order,and Kelly told me how swamped they were but said they hoped to get all of the orders out this week.I imagine the whole staff had a few "Oh Shit"moments as fast as they were hit with so many orders!
|
|
Minor detail...... |
|
|
I called today worrying that my order got burried and I wouldn't get the mags I wanted...thankfully she (Kelly?) said that "If you have already place an order you're guaranteed to get it." I don't know with as many orders as they have received but I'm hoping it means that I get my 2 new Bulgy RPK-74 mags and one 12 pack of used 30 rnd mags. I hope I don't get all black. I'd like to see a few baklite mags. I don't have any of them yet?

Pretty sure that Bakelights weren't an option it was just Brown, Fire Brick Black and possibly Plum. Did the Bulgarians ever produce a Bakelight mag?
|
|
Big Bummer!!! Fed-Ex notice on my front door. Can we re-route fed-ex packages?
|
|
|
|
|
Let me get this right, $36 for 12 mags + $16.50 for shipping and handling = $52.50 / 12 = $4.38 per mag. I dont see the grounds to bitch on...lol... Thats as cheap as they have ever been that I know off. |
