Any value on old AK-47 .223 Steel Mags?

[Firesweep]

I want to put three mags up in the classifieds but cannot find any online Just plastic ones. There seen to be loads of 7.62x39's.
I have three steel magazines 2ea-30rnd and 1ea-20rnd.
Not sure the make I could not find any markings. One has some light surface rust starting up. Been sitting in my gun cabinet for years.
Don't have a AK so I don't need them. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!

I've seen sites charging $30, which seems hard to justify. You can buy good eastern european steel ones all day for $20 each. I picked up a 3-pack of Yugoslavian ones recently for $46 from keepshooting.com when they were on special.

Check the prices online. Seems like they are really expensive.

Thanks guys! I went to a friends and loaded a .223 round and turns out it's 7.62x39 Magazines not .223 Like I thought. 7.62's loaded without any problems. After looking them up online I believe they are steel chinese mags. Probably not worth anything being regular AK caliber mags?

I think the chinese aluminum mags are worth more due to rarity.

your wrong those r chicom 223 mags
fair price is 120-140

Thanks Candyman how can you tell? They loadeded the single 7.62 way smoother than the .223 I didn't load more than one. Didn't want to jam.

 

[candyman]

ak's are what i do

the blu and flat back makes them chicom the shape makes them 223
762 is alot more curved

 

[Trlsmn]

Those don't have enough curve to be 7.62 x 39 mags.

 

[Firesweep]

Got it. I was wondering why they didn't curve like my friends SAR magazines. Make total sense. Thanks guys!

Just to let y'all know I put them all in the classifieds for sale or trade. I used Candyman's value for pricing. Lowest for cash sale highest fair value for Partial trade.
Thanks again all! I hope they sell I can really use the money!
