AK Magazine recommendation??

[Great-Kazoo]

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.
