AK Magazine recommendation??

[HKFan]

Guys, I posted this over in Mags, but I got a couple AK's but only one or two mags per gun. How many mags should I have per gun, and what kind are the best? I like the idea of plastic better than metal, but that's not well thought through.

Cost isn't a huge factor (unless you tell me I should buy 10 per gun!).

Ok i will not tell you anything. I might suggest you have 10 magazines per gun in your possession. I have been out shooting with folks that only have 1-2 mags, what a PITA that is. I now understand how some guns for sale are listed as 50 rounds fired:0

I run 5 mags on my AK, 2 plastic tapcos and 3 metal surplus, never had any problems with them, pretty much hit or miss with the tapcos, only thing I dont like about them is a increase of wobble on my m70, but they are a lot smoother when it come to doing fast mag swaps.

People tend to have negative thing to say about the polymer mags, but when my brother and I took his ak's out shooting for the first time, both of us preferred his polymer mags to his standard steel ones. It wasn't an issue of cleaning or needing oil, as he is a bit of a clean freak, but as far as form and function goes, as I said, we both preferred the polymer mags.

As far as my pistols go, I like to keep at least 4 mags for each one, so I would say at least that for your AK. ammunitiontogo.com usually has good deals on bulk orders.

YMMV.

Order 10.
That site I linked to in your other mag thread has $10 flat rate shipping... order as many as you like.

I order mine from http://centerfiresystems.com/search.aspx?find=ak+mags

I have way more than 10 for every weapon I own

I can't tell you how many you should have but I have a friend named "Jack" that bought a bunch of AK mags in bulk from Sportsman guide and they were coming 12 at a time in the mail. My friend has ak mags out the window. And never enough ammo to fill them. 75 rounders are the way to go BTW. the kind that open up in the back but if you get the Romanian one its nice too. Always shoot for under a $100 on those. $10 -$15 for the 30 rounder and $15 - $20 for the $40 round mags.
That is what happened to my friend. There is a whole box under a table that don't get used and just collects dust.

Thanks for all the great advice. I'll pick some up right away! I know I need more, just didn't know which way to turn.

I recently got a couple of These and really like them. I had never met a poly AK mag I actually liked until these.
