Fakelite type 81 magazine

[5HoursNorth]

So after another CGN’r offerd me $340 for my genuine bakelite Ak mag (converted to type81) I couldn’t find another one for reasonable price .
So I got to work modifying a factory 81 Mag with six dollars in dollar store epoxy , some paint, Minwax and clearcoat. This is what I got.
First picture is from my genuine Bakelite mag the rest are my fakelite

Looks awesome!!!

I'm assuming the scope mount and rail is the RS Regulate AK303 and Micro mount?

Really good, just needs to be a bit redder.

I got it back when rs regulates we’re very hard to get it’s an armacon.
It’s a Russian copy , before the Ukraine war, the Russians were trying to purchase RS regulates, and RS regulate would not sell to Russia so they copied the design

Micro looks nice and low on that mount. Exactly what I want for mine (except mine is the RS Regulate mount and micro mount)

If I didn’t do the spine of the mag it would have been nothing but how it is now it feels like a “fully loaded” 5 round mag
