    TI has stated before that these will NOT take AK magazines, though visually similar, the Type 81 mags are proprietary to the rifle. AK mags MIGHT BE able to be modified to fit, however, they may not feed properly 100% and will not activate the bolt hold open.

    Go to TI's pictures of the rifle and mag up scale the mag picture, hold your AK mag beside it and you will see what needs to be done to make it fit and that's still a maybe.

    T81 T63 mags fit AKs FYI. Asked a few guys down South and comfirmed.
    Military T81s can use AK mags but with no bho. This batch I assume may fit AK mags if made the same, even if not, slight mod to the mag should be good to go.

    Type 63 mags and Type 81 mags are identical.

    TI isn't advertising it to take AK mags because it isn't designed to take them or work properly with them.

    Type 63 mags and Type 81 mags are the same.

    Not all AK mags meet the same tolerances.

    So saying "It takes ak mags" when AK mags variations are so wide, and the gun isn't specifically designed to take them, the line is it doesn't take AK mags.

    If you get lucky with an AK mag great. But don't expect them to work. You might get them to work with mods either mild or not.

    My 9mm SAF isn't designed to take Uzi mags. Or Uzi mags modified for an 9mm AR. But they work. They don't advertise the SAF as taking them.

    What does it matter if it takes AK mags anyway? Are there that many guys out there with AK mags and no rifle to shoot them in? If anything the vz-58 mag would be more prevalent in Canada to try and adapt a rifle for the Canadian market to. And the visual differences between the AK mag and the T81 mags are slim so why not just use the mag the rifle was designed for?
