It's obviously for an AK, not an SKS, right? I've never seen one like it before.

It's a Type 63 mag. The Type 63 was adopted by the Chinese, and featured a mix of SKS and AK design features. When used in an AK will block the bolt after the last round is fired - similar to a Yugo mag. There were 6 types of these mags as they were made for many years by many factories.

Guy's starting bid is way too high!!!!!!!!!!!!

That guy's been trying to sell that same crusty mag forever now. I remember seeing that more than a year ago.

I asked for pics. It is your average EG bakelite. I let the dude know, and gave him a link to the above tacked "mag ID guide" in Jan. He has yet to fix his add.

Maybe he could sell it if he didn't list it as an SKS magazine.
