Ok, I was looking at picking up one of these....
http://www.atlanticfirearms.com/storeproduct979.aspx I guess I'm confused on mags though. I'm still relatively new to the AK world, so this may be a dumb question. Will ANY AK74 mag fit in this? I look in the EE and other places all the time and see all of these different type of AK74 mags. Different countries, bakelite, plastic, etc. Will they all work in this rifle as long as it's for a 74? If so, what type/make/nationality mag is the most affordable and works good? |

"Hey what about these polish Tantal mags you see? Are those specifically for the Tantal?"
No, they too will work in most, if not all AK-74 variants. The Poles made them first out of steel, then later out of polymer (black). But it appears they also purchased them from the East German's and painted their orange EG mags with black paint. All work fine. Good luck. |

I have a handful of the metal Romanian and tantal mags. I bought a bunch when I 1st moved over to the 74 being use to the 47. Metal mags gotta be better than poly right? They work great, but it's my feeling that the poly mags seat easier than the metal ones. Nothing wrong with either. |
