the majority of them have a flat back, no rib where the two halves are welded together. the Polytech exports have chrome plated followers and witness/sight holes at 10, 20 and 30 rounds whereas the Norinco exports have blued followers and a hole showing 30 rounds.
they fit and function identically to combloc mags but i prefer them due to the cleaner feel of the smooth back. |

Did/does the ChiCom army use both kinds, or were the no-rib mags made for the commercial market?
I'm not having a lot of luck digging up pictures of Chinese soldiers in action. |

I like them better due to the lack of rib as well. Next to the Polish polys, the Chi-Coms are my favorite.

Robpiat-
Here you go- Both are ChiCom mags. The one on the left is "european style", with the halves of the body spot-welded together in a "spine". The one on the right is the "rib-less" style, with the edges folded over and welded.

The Chinese mag is no more reliable than a non-Chinese mag. To me, it's just another AK mag-they all work great!

+1 I have never been too particular with the ribbed mags. Chinese are my favorites as well. |

I prefer the European style mags over the Chinese ones. I've actually come across a few Chinese mags that wouldn't lock into an AK. I've traded off almost all of the Chinese mags I had. I'm down to one now, and wouldn't buy anymore until they back down to $3-$5 each.
