I like the Bulgarians the best, but the Poles, East Germans, Russians, Hungarians, all make a great steal mag.
The Romanian mags work fine but tend to be rougher fit and finish and I've noticed several of them with burs that should have been taken off at the factory. Chinese mags work great too and don't have the rib on the back of the mag. |

two questions:
1) how easy is it to degrease them? Ive never dealt with that goop before so I have no idea. 2) how much? I'd prolly be interested in like 5-6...maybe more if the price is right. |

Ditto on that question for me -- if you don't mind.

I do have to say, I have never had a gun like my AK where I was never once worried about buying ANY magazine for it and it not working.
I have never had a bad steal AK magazine. Some are rougher in finish, but they all work awesome. Very odd advice but stay away from American made magazines. |

Are steel better than the synthetic for the 74s? I thought the syn. would be better as there isn't a problem with rust

Only steel 5.45mm mags I know of are the Romanian steel ones. The East German Bakelite and Bulgarian mags are all good and reliable. ETA:Russia didn't even manufacture a steel 5.45mm magazine. They use both bakelite and synthentic 5.45mm mags. |

The Poles also made steel 5.45mm mags, but switched to synthetics.
