Bryant Ridge Auction Company is pleased to present this lot of two Surplus 7.62x39 30rd AK magazines today for a penny start auction!
Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
A gun is only as reliable as its best magazine. The action can run flawlessly, but if the next round to be fed is not where it needs to be, the gun will fail to cycle. Half of the AK’s famous reliability can be attributed to their magazines. Originally constructed from steel, their curve was perfectly engineered to accommodate 7.62×39’s significant taper, and the staggered-feed design makes them as easy to load as they are reliable.
In serious situations magazines are disposable, so they should be thought of as such when planning out your kit. Because of this, price plays a big factor for most when selecting magazines. Many seek out the cheapest mags available so they can purchase as many of them as possible. Unfortunately for them, the cheapest AK magazines have problems with reliability and fragility, meaning that they should only be used for plinking at the range or avoided entirely.
There are good AK mags that are too expensive to hoard as well, but they mostly fall under the collectible category in the U.S. What all this means is that there is really only one kind of AK mag worth considering for most people due to its balance between price and quality, but thankfully these are also some of the most common to find. Stamped steel, ribbed, military surplus AK mags were made by just about every country that made AKs. They are so abundant that despite everything else happening in our country at the moment, they can still be regularly found online for about $20 to $30 depending on the condition and country of origin.
The most common surplus steel AK mags you will find are from Romania, Poland, Yugoslavia, Hungary, and Bulgaria. Some slightly rarer variants are Russian, Chinese, East German, and Egyptian. All these types are essentially of the same quality, which is good because they can be hard to distinguish at times. Many do not have roll marks visible, meaning one must resort to things like finish type and weld mark details to determine their origin.
