Hey guys I'm new to the site and love it. I just ordered a sgl26-61 from kavar and need mags. I know a place that has a bunch of tapcos and steel Korean. They are $20 a pop for either one. Thinking about going with the steel Koreans. Any advice is much appreciated.

Spend a couple bucks more per mag and get good European surplus mags. The tapcos aren't the greatest and can break, and the s. Koreans are flimsy compared to surplus mags.

^^^What these guys said^^^ Buy commie steel. If you must pick between Tapco or Korean, I would suggest Korean.

Thanks guys I order some of the Russians from aim and one of the bakelites (just for collector purposes) from dans. Do you guys keep bakelites loaded. Just curious.

Keep in mind i dont collect them,they get used more than my steel mags.
