AC unity mags

My WASR is somewhat picky.
I traded for 2 60s & 2 45s(?).
Only one 45 locked in w/o worry, kept it for testing, sold the others.
As far as US made poly mags, Palm and Tapco fit snug in that gun, but work well, Pmags will work in it, too. If I was going to do poly, I would stick w/Bulgy slab sides and waffles.
If I had to depend on fit, feeding, smooth changes, Eastern Euro steel for me, thanks.

Dropping a mag, is something that can happen, for sure. While I practice that sweeping out the old w/the new, I tend to practice retaining the mags in a pouch/pocket, jus' cuz I think one could wind up wanting them back later.

The AC Unities, as well as those $5 "Polish" out there, are made of a plastic that doesn't look like it would take too much bouncing off a hard surface, loaded or not. No doubt even worse when it's cold.

So, buy a couple dozen, if you wish.
Let us know what you come up with.
As far as heading into armed aggression, I'd stick w/steel.

I mainly have surplus metal mags, around 50 or so. I have had most of them for 20+ years stored in a plastic tub. I never bothered to check them, I just grabbed a few if I took an AK to shoot. And that was not often. Recently I added several different makes of polymer mags. AC Unity, K-USA, PSA, Xtech, Tapco, Zastava, MAGPUL, some type of Bulgarian polymer, and even some Korean fakelite mags.
My criteria for keeping them was if they fit all my AKs and if they functioned fully loaded. No torture test, just function tests.
A couple of weeks ago I loaded up every mag I had at the time and went to the range to test them all. I fired over 1700 rounds and identified a few mags that didnt work in one or all of my AKs. Those were metal mags BTW. I have since purchased additional mags of the ones that worked and have more than doubled my magazine collection.
I am not interested in trying to destroy any of them. Mainly because I know for a fact that given enough use or abuse, ANY mag can fail. I will use them until they no longer function, and then dispose of them.
At this point, it will have to be a very good deal for me to purchase additional magazines, I got carried away and bought too many already. With normal use, I am confident what I have will last as long as I need them, and my kids and maybe even grandkids too.
