gun show find

If you got the 7.62x39 bakalite then yes you got a good deal. Seems like you can find those mags posted in the For Sale section of the forum around 60 to 80 dollars.

I think you got a hell of deal on the russian bakalite.

The East German mags you got are about right. I have seen some sights selling them a little lower for like 20 a piece.

thanks for the help. finding this mag almost makes up for a mag I traded to a guy last year for an east german steel mag because i thought it was just some cheap mag. after spending some time here I learned it was a russian slabside.

Quite a few years ago, I was at a show and the same thing almost happened to me, I bought some $15 E. German AK-74 mags and said to the seller, (I wont ever do it again) this last one looks to be 7.62 ?!?
Had to pay $35 for it.
So ya you did good cosidering the ak-74 mags were about $10-12 bucks a year ago, if they are new, well next year they may be worth $50 ea? I have (10) NIW E German ak-74 30 rd mags last year I advertized for sale at $12 ea including shipping, some Joker responded to the ad that he could get them all day long at $5-10 ea............so I tossed the box back into the storage closet, I had never loaded even one.............now I am glad I did cause thats where they will stay!

thats almost what happaned to me, i bought 3 of the mags and while he was getting my change some other guy looked at the other 2 and said "why's that one more curved than the other" as soon as he said that i told the guy i'd take the other 2 luckily he didn't look it oververy well
