AK-47 Bakelite Mags?

[Hammer]

Nop these are ak74 mags.

The original AK-74 magazine was identical to that of the AKM, except for minor dimensional changes required by the 5.45x39mm cartridge. These rust-colored magazines are often mistakenly identified as being made of Bakelite (a phenolic resin), where in reality, they were fabricated from a two-part glass-reinforced polyethylene plastic molding, assembled using an epoxy resin adhesive.[6] Noted for their durability, the magazines did however compromise the rifle's camouflage.[6] A new dark-brown 30-round magazine was introduced in the early 1980s, composed of ABS plastic.

All AK-74 magazines have a raised horizontal rib on each side of the rear lug to prevent their use in a 7.62x39mm AK.


The magazines can be quickly recharged from stripper clips. The 45-round plastic magazine of the RPK-74 light machine gun is also interchangeable with that of the AK-74

Sorry Skippy..the mags shown in the above pics are 7.62x39 AKM mags and not 5.45x39 AK74 mags

gunplumberr is correct, in fact I have a few sitting in front of me. Just look at the curve of the mag, AK-47 .
The one I am looking at right now is a triangle 66 by Norinco.

Take the pic anyway, always nice to have reference pics.

 

[gunplumberr]

and I read that after I put them away...ok I'll take them all out tomorrow and get some pics....pretty bad when you collect commie mags just for the markings

 

[obiwanbonjovi]

those are clearly 7.62 mags, not only do they have the curve of the 7.62 mags they also have the step on the front of the mag that the 5.45 mags do not.
