Oh, I got a new(well to me) AK mag a few weeks ago. My Dad has had this AK mag one of his Marine buddies got over in Vietnam. He got it off a dead soldier, probably one he killed. A little rusty, but still has the original ammo in it. Pretty cool. Looks a lot like a German made mag with the ridge along the back of it.
glad to hear that your a new AK owner!!! i got one after doing research here...this place is ALOT of help. i ended up getting a MAK-90 instead of the WASR-10. i had actualy ordered the WASR then stoped the shipment because of what i learned here...im in no way bashing WASR's but i got a sweet deal on my MAK. now i need to save up for a Bulgarian!!!
I believe the WASR's were originally made to accept only 10rd. mags, then some of the metal removed in the mag. well to take the 30 rounders. The SAR should be fine if you got one that the front sight and/or gas tube isn't canted.
