Another good thing about these magazines with the bolt hold open feature you can run a bore snake through their lot easier without taking the gun apart that's what I do😊
I like those magazines but I like the 40-round magazine because it's got more of a curve to it so it looks like the old-style AK-47 mags that are like a quarter of a turn if you know what I'm saying that is good though with a foregrip in the way😊
It is pronounced "crow-AY-shun". They are excellent mags, there are only two things to be wary of: First, the backside plate that the tab is on may need to be filed down slightly. In some AK's the top of that plate will collide with the internals (a cross support). Second, there was a run of base plates on those mags that had their retainer lips bent with too loose tolerances (the base plates are loose and could actually pop loose when the mags are loaded). You can replace the base plates for less than $3 a mag, and the rear tab can be filed down easy enough. Otherwise the mags are excellent quality.
Thanks for the review Ernest. Picked me up one of those gf3s after your review. I went with pro mags because I found a better deal but I definitely prefer steel if I can get it.
I have to file my Croatian Mags in the back and at the area where the neck of the bullet is in the Mag, because the second the bullet would get stuck in the chamber after firing the first bullet for me and the Mags that i have gotten.
And another thing I didn't have to do any filing at all for this magazine or the Magpul or the US alien green 30-round magazines I didn't have to file any of them so I don't know what these people are talking about when they're gf3 having to file magazines down to make them fit😊
But considering they are so cheap just buy one your Ak might like them. I have a WASR and by far the best mags I have are the US Palm mags. They run flawlessly and they fit like a glove. Barely any mag wobble at all. Every other steel mag works fine besides the Croatian. I wish these were actually good because the bolt hold open feature is nice.
