  • Here I show some bakelite mags I recently bought for my Russian AKM (AK-47) and my Arsenal SAM7SF. All of the 30 round Gen 1 and Gen 4 magazines are made from Tula with the star logo. The 40 rd RPK magazines are made in the Molot Factory. I also discuss the current market price and provide close up shots of the mags at the end of the video. Bakelite (AG-4S) magazines were also made by Izhevsk but I don't own any at this time.

    Wish I could go back and buy aks and bakelites in the early 2000s instead of messing around in elementary school

      Thanks, I wouldn't consider myself to be an AK expert yet but I'm learning. I went shoot the other day and I swear my AK was more accurate than my AR15 (5 shots in a quarter at 50 yards with a red dot). Now I'm starting to learn about the more historic and collectible aspects.

    I have a silly question to ask in here. If Bakelite AK Magazines are hard to find and expensive, how come no magazine company have made any to bring the price down? I am willingly to pay $25.00 per mag.

    • @werunguns

      Because they would cost too much to manufacture these days for them to be under even a $50 price point

    Picked up one of these at the local flea market 03/17/2024. Has the number "41'' on it. Cant find any others online with the number 41 on them so I'm not sure if this one is a real or fake. Anyone know anything about ones with 41 on it please let me know.

      Just make sure it’s not all rusted inside after you open it up. Test it at the range a few times and then you should be good to go.
