I think it uses only metric pattern magazines, so avoid the ABC countries (Australia, Britain, Canada) mags.  But, I am no expert....

Correct, Metric only...

Austrian
Israeli
Belgian
Argentinian

And the other 60+ countries that utilized the metric version.

As to which ones fit best in an RFB...damned good question. NIW mags would be the best, but mostly one deals with used these days.

RRA is supposed to be coming out with polymer FAL mags; might be worthwhile to wait a bit and see how they work out before dropping a chunk of change on a set of surplus military mags. In the meantime, just grab a few..."cheap" surplus mags.

Metric surplus mags from what I hear. They occasionally have them at gun shows for cheap, once I picked up a couple for $3 each. Also, check them out first, some are missing the front tab which locks the mag in place. Finally, squeeze them together from the sides up near the feed lips, they should have little to no flex. I've occassionally run into aluminum (?) ones which flex a lot. Not sure how well they work but I generally stay away from those...
