lsxevo 9 Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Hey guys I have been on this forum for a while, but mainly for Saiga 12 section. I just recently bought my very first AK-74 which is an Arsenal and need a recommendation on mags and the cheapest place to buy them? I have looked around a little and holy shit they seem pricey compared to 7.62 mags? Best and cheapest placeto buy would be great? Does anywhere run any sales on AK-74 mags that I should wait for?

Does anywhere run any sales on AK-74 mags that I should wait for? ~$25 each for surplus mags is the lowest going rate for them anymore. They used to be $8 a pop but those days are long gone.

JoeAK 337 Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 I just got a couple steel Tantal mags for $20 at Apex's booth at the knob creek machine gun shoot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lsxevo 9 Posted October 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Are the tantal mags as reliable as the surplus Bulgarian and Russian mags? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sim_Player 1,939 Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 (edited) Are the tantal mags as reliable as the surplus Bulgarian and Russian mags? I would think so. Most countries copy each other's designs. I have two Plum Russian and two Tapco. Edited October 22, 2014 by Sim_Player Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thebuns1 4,323 Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Surplus mags are the best IMO. 5.45 mags have come down in my area. Bargains can be found. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BigChongus 765 Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Are the tantal mags as reliable as the surplus Bulgarian and Russian mags? Tantal mags come in two varieties. One is steel, which is basically the same design as steel combloc 7.62 mags, and the other is poly, which is of the same design as Russian and Bulgarian poly 74 mags. However, the poly Tantal mags lack steel reinforcements in the floor-plate area of the mag. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tbryanh 11 Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 What modifications are needed for the steel tantal mags in a saiga 5.45? Does the rifle or mag or both need mods? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SaigaFL 4 Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 I've found the Tapco mags $12, and the Bulgy commercial $15 ones. work very well as do the Comm Bloc surplus $25 -$35. Just stay away from Pro Mags and others like that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
