imarangemaster 315 Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Anyone interested: Sportsman's Guide has 5 packs of VG to excellent used Romanian mil-surp metal 30 round AK mags for $44 and change, or for the mathematically challenged, $9 each. EVen with shipping it is only $10 each. That is as good as, or better than, any place else I have found them. (The best I found before that was $10 each + shipping).

vbrtrmn 167 Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 No deal will make me want to buy from SG again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
imarangemaster 315 Posted October 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 I have been buying from them for about 10 or 12 years, and never had a single problem. YMMV Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vbrtrmn 167 Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 I have been buying from them for about 10 or 12 years, and never had a single problem. YMMV I had bad customer service from them, couldn't get the issue worked out, so I stopped dealing with them. I try to stick to smaller outfits now, where the owner actually is interested in providing good service to everyone, like most of the vendors here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TO THE FLOOR IN A 63 121 Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 BigSal sells me his for $6 each and then wants a link 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bigsal 757 Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 BigSal sells me his for $6 each and then wants a link There are reasons. A year or two ago sportsmans guide sold a number of magazines before sorting them. This allowed a number of Russian steel magazines Chinese magazines and other rare units to seep into the hands of the general public. Usually 1 in 4 was something other than romanian. I will wait to see the kind of arsenal stamps that people are getting before ordering. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
leadslinger 37 Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 (edited) don't Romanian have the metal ridge protruding along the front of the mag or is that Yugo mags? what is the manufacture of the 10/22 mags can't tell if they have steel feed lips. http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/clips-and-mags.aspx?a=181640 CDNN has these mags stell lined. I might be behind the curve so anyone with any info on whether they are any good or should i just stay with the steel http://www.cdnninvestments.com/ak7630slmosy.html Edited October 8, 2010 by leadslinger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
imarangemaster 315 Posted October 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Wow, got the $9 each 5 pack Romanian AK mags in from Sportsman's Guide. They are virtually new! They are as nice as any I have ever gotten. A+ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

imarangemaster 315 Posted October 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 I'll have to check. They are still in the poly bags and oily. I suck at which are made by who, so I will post pics this week end. After I get the Saiga at the end of the month, I will probably get some more. They are that clean.

docfury 1 Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 Thanks for the tip, I jump in it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
docfury 1 Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 I bought 5 mags, one is too fat to fit in the gun, one is thin and wobbles, and the others are inbetween (one is just right). They seem to be in pretty good shape very little rust (only a spot or two). Will try to field test them this weekend. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
imarangemaster 315 Posted October 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 The one that is to fat, give it the top a SLIGHT squeeze in a vise, just a tiny bit at a time. All of mine fit fine, though the last one I opened up had a tiny bit of rust and a slight ding in the mag body I didn't see through the oil and the package. The other four were virtually unissued, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
22_Shooter 1,560 Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 (edited) AIM has squeaky clean looking NIW Bulgarian 30 round steel mags for $7.95 if you buy at least 10 ($8.95 is buy less than 10). With shipping, for 10 mags, it comes out to $90.41 out-the-door (to my door, anyway). So that's about $9.04/mag shipped. Pretty good.

ChileRelleno 7,071 Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 I bought two of the five packs from Sportsman'sGuide. Pretty damned filthy, had to degrease, disassemble, scrub the crud off the outside and the inside surfaces, was like someone tossed a small handful of greasy dirt into each one. One binds up pretty bad due to two dents in sidewall, it might be salvageable with a little work, one had been painted at some time, and was flaking badly, prepped and repainted, two showed enough surface rust inside and out, prepped & repainted and the rest ranged from slightly used to almost new. They all lock up well after modding, just a little normal wiggle. Six (6) good mags outta ten (10) isn't very good, I won't reorder. ............................................................................. Bulgy Circle Tens FTW!

imarangemaster 315 Posted October 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 Unfortunately, it is luck of the draw. I got 4 Excellent to new and one with ding and some rust under the oily bag, so it initially went un-noticed.. The greasy crud is probably old dried up cosmolene with a touch of rust. It looks like the new Bulgarians from AIM is a better buy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
