Ohio Rapid Fire does not list them on their site anymore. I will call them to be sure, but any other sources for  cheap black 74 mags, new or used?

Nope, they were about it for the past year and a half.  Everything else I see starts at about 13 bucks per mag and goes up from there.

You need to look harder.

"You need to look harder. "

Geeez, I guess so!  Kinda lost interest in searching for '74 mags though after I put away about 90 of 'em.

whatever you do don't change your name to "mraccurateinfo"







BTW, the ORF mags are brand new.  Also, they will let you select markings.  I got some "Circle 10" mags.  Are they any better than Circle 21?  Probably not, but superstition abounds around here.

Nope. In fact, they're about half as good!

Just having a little fun at your expense; construction, quality and function of the two types is identical.

Yeah, I really compromised national security with that one mouseboy.  Since you musta had a rough night, I'll wish you a nice day this morning!

Hey, I was just joking around, you saw the wise ass smiley face, no? LOL

Yes, superstition

Sorry Mouseboy, thought that was the angry gnarly face!  My mishap.  

I tend to lose interest in stuff after I've stocked up & stop looking.  Fortunately, there are more astute menbers on this board than I!

I loaded up on the red E. German bakelites when Northridge was selling a sealed four pack in the pouch with strippers, guides & blank adapter (yeah, that'll come in handy) for $20.  Also hammered ORF for a bunch of the Russian/Bulgarian magazines at the 12/$30 rate when they first came out.

I've been into the 5.45mm for a long time, back when most others were doing the 7.62x39mm thing.  Got a MKII, SAR-2 & Vector's RPK-74 SA.  I now regret selling off a CURII.

After getting beaten up by 7.62x54s, 30-06s and .303s for a long time I just gravitated to the extremely light-recoiling 5.45mm.  In the eyes of some it may not be a real man's gun, but they sure are fun to shoot.  Wonder how it'd do on zombies ..........

The cheap ammo coming along when it did is a boon, since one can shoot these rifles all day long like a .22.  Sadly, the only readily available N/C is Wolf MC, which I find to be the least accurate ammunition of all the types out there at the moment.  

   

Anybody know if ORF will be getting any more in to run another special?
