Can you find $30 pmags?
Were probably going to see the MOE AK forearm systems in the future and as far as AK mags go I think were going to see a Magpul stamped smooth back AK mag before we see a Pmag version. IMHO maybe they will shed off the lack of shock and awe over that last few shot shows and actually bring a working Quad stack mag to the market. I just want some Ranger Plates for my Chinese and Bulgarian ((10)) mags.
Irrelevant. Bulgarian mags are not imported in enough quantities to satisfy even 5% of demand. The demand is there.
Please make some nice handguards Magpul, and don’t forget us Yugo M70 guys!!
This and they are over $40 a mag now.
If Magpul made AK Pmags, they’d never keep them in stock. A lighter-weight, equally-reliable and durable alternative to the generic steel AK mags… cap it at $20/mag and prepare to open another fab plant.

US Palm’s AK30 debuted higher than surplus steel and new Bulgarian waffles at $30 a mag, now they are cheaper when you can find them. ![]()
There is absolutely a market for US made polymer AK mags that are not from the likes of Tapco or Pro-Mag.
It would be nice if they offered both 7.62x39 mags and 5.45x39

That would be awesome if they did.
While I agree that with the current market it makes no sense to tool up for a new AK mag, but once this dies down (provided there is no ban) an AK mag is a no brainer. Currently Magpul has 0% of the market share on AK Mags. IF they can make a reliable mag for $20 they will take a huge slice of the market, and the demand is there.
The arguement that they shouldn’t bother since someone else makes a good mags makes no more sense than Chevy shouldn’t make a truck since Ford already does. As long as there is demand the market can support nearly unlimited manufactures of good products.
I would be perfectly happy if magpul make a 5.45 mag for an AR that didn’t suck balls completely. That is the real limitation to the 5.45 AR uppers IMO.
If they make an ak mag they cant just do a 7.62 they will have to do a 5.45 also ![]()
I just want them to make Swiss-pattern AK mags…ie SIG 550/551/552/553 mags. ![]()
Omg, that would be so cool to have their window on the AK mags. MAGPUL PAY ATTENTION TO THIS THREAD!! THIS IS WHAT YOUR CUSTOMERS WANT!!! ![]()
If they make a reliable $20 AK PMAG, they’ll own the market. Between the mag and a US-made FCG, that would take care of all your 922R problems. They’d weigh less than a steel Combloc mag and be more resistant to denting/damage. They’d be cheaper and more available than Bulgy Circle 10s. They’d outperform the Tapco and ProMag crap nine ways to Sunday. If they made a 20-rounder for my underfolder too, I’d fall in love.
Seems like a huge market opportunity.
AK mags would have to go up in price a lot for magpul to make AK mags. When AK mags were $10 theres no point in making them
Bulgarian factory circle 10 thirty round mags have been north of $40 for some time now. Even the cheap KCI (Korean) steel mags are going for $30+ now.
Heck, I say split the difference, gimme a 25rd mag.
The Hungarian “tanker mag” can actually hold 25rds, if you cut some coils on the spring. The spring is the same as a 30rd mag. The only real 20rd mag are those expensive ChiCom ones.
Paul Gomez and I were in the early stages of designing a 25rd mag for a company in the US. Unfortunately Gomez passed away and our contact at the company we were working with has moved on.
If they do make a mag, I think it should be dissassemble-able. Not what the US Palms were
