Hey gang. As some of you know, I'm writing a book on Soviet/Russian production AK mags. The plan is lots of detail, full referencing from some sick sources, interesting specs, and of course tons of mag porn quality pics. I've already started writing content and gathering the materials for my mag...

Looking for early Izzy bakes. Will pay top dollar for the correct variants. PM or email pics to... [email protected] ps: #@g scammers need not apply.

Hey gang. I often read on forums or in books what year production started for various kinds of mags. For example, production of the lightweight steel mag (aka "combloc" or "stamped steel"), started in the USSR in 1955. But authors and collectors rarely seem to have data on what year production...

Hey gang. I have a couple selectors that appear to be very similar to the type used at Izhmash from 87+ and Tula from 89+, based on this diagram... The trick is, the two I have are different in one area.... On the one on the left, the part that sits just inside the receiver on the ejection...

Hey gang. Just how gold were the gold slings? Here's a pic of a gold strap mag pouch strap (L), a green nylon sling (R), and a sorta goldish sling in the middle. Is this what the "gold slings" look like or is this just a light green sling?

Hey guys. I have read a LOT of conflicting info on East German 40 round 762x39mm mags. Some say that they did make them, some say they didn't, with many variations as to what they did/didn't do and when. I bring this up because I have a 40 rounder. It's second euro type. It's got a 'made in...

Hey gang. For some time I've been working on really nailing down the different types of bakes. Someone needs to formalize this stuff, might as well be me (with a lot of help!). Here's what I have so far. If anyone has a type not listed below lemme know. I plan on adding pics at some point. Bear...

You could wait for Atlantic and AoA to get more in stock next month and pay $150+s/h+tax, or you could just buy one of my bagged/oiled FB top rails, which came straight from Poland, for $139 shipped. Have 5 available. Will fit both FB Radom and WBP guns that have the RSB grooves / rear trunnion...

Hey guys. Any idea if these are pre or post 1968? They have mostly Soviet bloc style features, save the plastic toggles on the accessories pockets.

Kobold Customs has these on their site. Note the stripper clip adapter groove....on a 762 mag. Does anyone have a source of these? KC has been sold out and doesn't expect more unless they can convince FB to make them.

Hey gang. I collect mags and after you study mags a bit things that are odd or out of place really start to stand out. In this case we're looking at mold #s and a pair of mags from Molot... On the left we have a 45 round 5.45 mag. The mold # is 131. All other Molot 45s I know of have molds...

Hey gang, looking for a bunch of AK-pattern mags and accessories this list is NOT all-inclusive, if you’ve got some other cool stuff FS, let me know! Mags: Soviet: 5.45 Izhmash Plum, must be Mold 1-6 (someone overcharge me for one of these, seriously!) 5.45 Izhmash 45 round bake 7.62 40...

Simple question: does it "pass light" like a plum mag? Could you post pics of what it looks like with the light going through? We've all seen the red glow of an illuminated plum, I wanna see it with green!
