I just got back from building a rifle in 7.62x39 out at Rifle Dynamics and I'm looking for magazines now.  I ordered a few from Estrella Ordnance to get me started.  They're fine for plastic mags I guess, but we were warned in the build class that with unlined metals mags, the feed lips can get worn out fairly quickly compared to a lined or fully metal mag.  Does anyone else have a lead on 15 round mags, especially metal mags?  I'd prefer something cut down rather than blocked, but I guess I can't be too picky.  

So you went to Vegas and took one of their build classes?

Good luck finding 15 round metal mags. If you want cut down ones you could probably talk to Paul(Estrella Ordinance)have 30's sent to him to convert. Or go to a PA gunshow and cut them down in the parking lot.

RTSP in Randolph has them in stock occasionally. I haven't bought any from them but I do remember seeing them there (I've been using 10/30 US PALM mags and Magpul mags without issue)

we have 15/30 magpul's in stock at Garden State Shooting Center

Do they have metal feed lips Tony, or are they like the Promags still?

A trip like that would be awesome. I wish I had a few grand laying around.

1. join AKForum

2. make friends with member Bad-Element

3. get him to cut down or rivet some metal mags for you

4. ...

5. profit

 

I love my riveted/blocked 15/30 metal mags. My WASR looks "proper" with them. And this guy does really good/really fast work.
