I recently ordered a few of these new AK mags for a decent price online. They are steel with a 5 year warranty, bolt hold open follower, and are brand new manufacture. The problem is, they don't fit in my Arsenal AK as they are too wide for the magwell. Just posting a heads up for others to steer clear of these. I'll be waiting for the Magpul reinforced version or the Toth tools to come back in stock before I buy any more mags.
there were a lot of reports of the mags being a little wide. easy fix tho, just file a little off the sides till they fit.
What do you refinish them with once they've been filed? Cold blue? The locking lugs need a little filing for my rifle too. I'm of the mind that if I buy something, it had better work out of the box or its going back. These are the first mags that I've ever had a problem with.
Yes, cold blue. I was going to order some myself a while back but after finding out they have to be fit to the rifle I opted out. Great mags otherwise. next time just get yugo bho mags. http://www.sgammo.com/product/762x3...-good-excellent-cleaned-grease-yugoslavian-mi
Ok, thanks for the info Beau. I may try to file one and see how it turns out.

Yes, Duke, I have. I haven't seen them for any less than $15/3 followers though. Seems a little high when you can get some decent mags for $9. Just my view.
I had some for my wasr and they fit ok. Had a little trouble getting them in. I will stick with pmags.
