They are BHO.
One of the reviewers mentioned that the Croatian mag is made from a thinner steel.
The Zastava mags I have are built like tanks.

doesn't affect their function one bit.

I WILL mention what I paid for Norinco Type "66" bakes. $7.99 each. Paid $9.99 for steel flatbacks at the same time WTF??? Should have bought a lot more bakes way back when!

Yep, and everything is cool until you run into your first M1 Abrams.
And then suddenly your turret flies off and you're like WTF just happened ?

 

[Knobgoblin]

At $8mil per Abrams, you could buy approximately 160 T 72s

Yeah, had 2 of the back loaders, Romanian, slightly different finish colors.
Sold one for $100 even the same day I bought my top loader. I'd buy top load for $200+ repeatedly before I bought any more hinged backs. I have a norinco 100rd hinged as well. That's maybe 3 bills??

I LOVE Idaho. No gun jail even with handguns and private, FTF ,sales are STILL legal!!! I recently went across the border to Ontario and stopped in at BiMart to see what was available in Ammo. I talked to the counterperson about gun sales. She was telling me when you buy a gun it may be weeks/months before you can take possession.Is that true? WTF???

Since Ontario is in Oregon, it is supposed to just take a few minutes to hours, but they recently made a change that can leave a person hanging for weeks.

 

[Tony617]

the Croat mags are fine for me! The do require a bit of filing of the rear tang on "some" AK's. I have some they work great and are cheap! Of the 5 I bought only one was a little tight in my Norinco's. Couple of passes with a file on the rear tang and all is good. The are BHO and work fine! I think I paid $7.99 each for them from PSA!

I bought some Croatian AK magazines and had to get my Dremel sanding disc out to make them fit my WASR-10. They all work fine since I have taken them all to the gun range multiple times over the years. I got my magazines for like $10.98 each back in 2019.

 

[FourTeeFive]

I've got a mix of older Croat, Romy, and Yugo mags. Just got some Magpuls too but haven't tried them out yet.

 

[pogi]

I only use surplus mags of various flavors.

After I got my AK I bought some of these. https://atlanticfirearms.com/4-pack-30-round-ak-47-mags-762-x-392012-07-30-01-08-50 At that time they were in better shape than described. Worn, but not abused. Just the look needed for an AK 47 for my tastes.

So is it that way all over OR.??? Is that for handguns only or long guns too!

Oregon I believe, for the most parts, there's something going on with the State Police and their checking backgrounds that is slowly-crawling-along. Whether by design or just being overloaded and having insufficient manpower, taking longer. People with CCP have been passing quickly/normally, but there has been some stories of permit holders having to endure the wait. No differentiation for firearm types. Washington, as I believe I understand, has waiting periods on handgun and AR style firearms. Maybe ALL semi-auto, magazine fed rifles?
