Yep they exist - I picked up a few Romainians for a Sar-2 about three years back. I bought them from Interordance. As a matter of fact the Sar-2a came with a metal mag cut down to 10 rounds.
I cannot recall seeing any other metals AK-74 mags thought. |

Oh they exist, they are just hard to find and expensive. The ones you would most be able to find first are the Romanian and Polish 5.45 steel mags. |

So what about all the orange bakerlite mags I see. Are they any good? Are they reliable?

Yep, cheap and solid as all hell.... You can also get the black bulgarian mags, ORF has a special on them, there is post here a page or two back about it with order details, 4 for $19.95 (used) with a pouch...

China also makes a 30 round AK-74 mag for their Type-88.

The orange bakelite 5.45 mags are the best in my opinion.
Best in fit, they lock up very tightly. They are also extremely solid, and don't 'flex' at all. I tried dyeing them, but they don't take dye at all. Don't bother. This is the only mag I'll buy into the future. It's my new standard. --Fargo007 |

You can paint them, but the Orange/Brown/Red goes well with wood furniture and is really pretty attractive, IMO.

like it's 7.62 brother, the 5.45 is blessed by a variety of great magazines.
my guess is that in a few months we'll see all kinds of ak74 mags imported. |
