medved11 71 Posted April 11, 2015 I'm new to the AK platform and I'm looking to increase my supply of magazines and I've got a few questions 1. Given NJ's magazine capacity laws what type of mags do most of you guys go with? 10 rounders or 30 rounders that are blocked for 15 rounds? 2. For 30 rounders that are blocked for 15, does it matter whether there's an actual rivet in the magazine or are the polymer ones that have been blocked and then the floor plates epoxied closed okay 3. For 10 rounders, has anyone had any experience with the following? https://www.atlanticfirearms.com/component/virtuemart/shipping-accessories/10rd-ak-47-magazine-3-pack-detail.html?Itemid=0 Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

werder 0 Posted April 11, 2015 Epoxy closed is fine. I prefer the larger mag as you get a better grip when reloading. Which ak did you recently get, since you said you are new to the platform? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

medved11 71 Posted April 11, 2015 Epoxy closed is fine. I prefer the larger mag as you get a better grip when reloading. Which ak did you recently get, since you said you are new to the platform? I'm going with a Century C39V2 for my first one. I went back and forth for a while between this one and a WASR 10. At some point, I'd like to pick up one from Arsenal but I don't have the funds for that right now. Actually, that's what got me thinking about the 10 round magazines since it seems like that's what those rifles are shipped with Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ogfarmer 138 Posted April 11, 2015 he also makes reduced cap a AR pmags, cant go wrong with Ty's stuff Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
medved11 71 Posted April 11, 2015 I saw that - I'll probably order a couple AR mags while I'm placing my AK mag order - I've been trying making do with some 5 round AR mags which really suck - It would be great to have something that I can hold on to Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
intercooler 41 Posted April 11, 2015 tapco 10rd ak mags are good to go Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

medved11 71 Posted April 16, 2015 One more 15/30 magazine related question (apologies in advance if it's a dumb one)... Has anyone ever had any issues using pinned magazines at Range 14? I've seen the safety guys there check various people's AR magazines to make sure that they're not real 30 rounders. The past couple of time that I've seen this happen, the gun owner will just point to the rivet in the mag to prove that it's been blocked. I'm just wondering if they will give you some "extra" hassle with full sized mags that have blocked and epoxied since there isn't a rivet in the side to easily show that the capacity has been limited.

That's been discussed here before more than once. Apparently the RSO's there have a hard on for that. I hand just hand them all my blocked mags, and a few boxes of ammo and tell them "I'm not sure if they are blocked, you better check them out for me". & that's how you get the RO to load all of your magazines for you at Fort Dix haha B) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I ordered a few 10 round magazines from K-Var to keep in reserve for the times that I don't feel like having to go through the "dog and pony show" of having them examine the full size blocked magazines Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

svt3183 14 Posted April 17, 2015 Range 14 always asks me and I tell them they're 15 rounds and they move on. Pk90 can make cut down 15 rd steel ak mags, I had him do it for me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
