AK 47 20 round Mags questions

[Adolf]

Does anyone know if it is worth while going after 20 round AK 47 Mags if the prices is good, and are there any models/Countries that I should stay away from and why?

I have been a big fan of 30 round metal ones from just about any country (have a couple of Bulgarian plastics as well), and I have a bunch of 40 round Bulgarians metal as well. I have never used anything but 10 round, 30, 40 and drums.

Thanks,

Adolf

They're ok, but I've never seen them as cheap as 30s.
The 20s would be neat on a super short SBR (like a Micro Draco)

What a Country sells the 20 rd tanker mags. I think they are Bulgarian. I have some and they work great.

Magpul announced 20 round ak mags this year too. The Hungarian ones are the best of the metal 20's, though I'd be tempted to wait for the magpul ones. Their 30's are slick!

i prefer the 20 round magazines to the 30's as they make the rifle easier to handle/carry/shoulder/etc.
the tapco mags work great in my norinco, magpul is coming out with 20's also as the posters above noted

The Norinco (a la 86S) are very nice, if you can find them!!!

I know they exist, but I have never seen any Chinese 20rd AK mags.

They are Hungarian - IIRC, other than those and the Chinese, only the Romanians made a 20

I've got a bunch of the Hungarian ones. They're great, especially in an SBR. I really like the handling that the shorter mags provide, and 20 rounds is still pretty good in a semi-auto.

Also, I believe there are new Korean 20 rounders coming in at a price point similar to surplus steel 30s. (~$10 or so.)
