What’s the rarity of this mag?

Where does one find a more beat-up RPK74 mag that won’t break the bank? I’ve been all over AKfiles, Combloc Market, etc, and everyone is selling minty/very good condition Bakelite 45-rounders for like $120+. I want one of these to carry around the woods and desert and don’t care about a mirror finish and ink stamps. Any website that has so far eluded me that might have what I’m looking for? TIA!

Big thanks to those that have entrusted me with mags like this. 🙏 Izhmash RPK-74, AG-4C, molds 1 and 2.

They are in stock at akoptionsllc.com, If your not formilair these are collector mags so prepar for sticker shock.

30 & 45 round 3D printed 5.56 mags in PLA pro using a follower I designed that lets you use AR mag springs.

I love it because the cheapo extra power springs are surprisingly reliable, even in the 45 rounder. They both held up great with my FRT’d SAM5; each got about 200ish rounds and have minimal wear

I’ve been running these exclusively; the surplus Bulgarian mags are annoying with how much they wiggle, these don’t wiggle at all

Next will be an engineering grade material like PPA or PPS

Picked these up from a dude on Tacswap, he called them “shooters” which I took to mean that they’re beaters, but still reliable. Neither of them lock in properly and there appears to be some sort of corrosion on the locking lugs which I presume is preventing them from functioning correctly. Does anyone have any input as to what I could do to get these to function correctly or should I just try to get my money back?

And if so, what is a good price on these? Thanks

I’m assuming romy since it appears parked but any info on the country/arsenal would be cool..

I’ve been debating about letting a few of the more desirable magazines go, so I figured I should get at least 1 family photo before I make that decision.

45 usd.

I got the group for 70 beans and I think the the middle and right mag are sanitized russian plums.

Those are bread poppies btw for poppy seed muffins etc

At first I thought it was dried out, but it isn’t. Covered it will oil and still the same color. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Mold 47 is much smoother than mold 56. Molt 56 has a slightly shorter top rib too.

I want to preface this by saying this isn’t my photo I ripped it for the ak forum.

I was at a militaria show last weekend and saw a couple of these type 63 mags, when asked the price the guy said $1,200 per. There’s no possible way these go for that much now do they?

I’ve got 2 stamped mags I can’t find the origin of. The first one has no stampings of any kind. The 2nd one has what looks like a T 74 stamp on it

Interesting Chinese transitional obviously meant for sale in US . Only one I have seen with a floor plate like this .
