Just picked up a the post ban sporter model of one of these, waiting for it to get out of jail. Do you know what aftermarket mags work best with this

Bulgarian or Polish 5.56 mags will work with a few small mods...

And OP....she's sporting East German hand guards, grip, top cover and stock ( or Romy maybe on the stock...) Is this still marked 84s? Hard to tell from the pic....are the bayonet lugs ground at all?

It's installed with East German hand guard and gas tube guard… it's a Polish dust cover… the only side folder they imported were either the 84s-2 or 84s-4… they were only imported from end of 92 to the AWB… only a couple hundred came in… I can't make out the numbers completely but I can tell you that it wasn't like this when it was imported and appears to be just a regular 84S… which means it had a wooden stock and hand guard… I don't know why anyone would have wanted to sand the heck out of it but they did… it's possible that the wire stock is a Chinese one but it looks more like the Romanian… I have never seen them come with a slant brake… they were unthreaded or had a flash hider similar to the RPK… basically a 4 slot brake… it's a cool rifle still but not stock unfortunately

Its kinda ruined really as a collector. It would be difficult and costly to put it back to stock form- hundreds at least in parts alone. Those parts are getting like hens teeth. The last rear trunnion I sold, and that was 3 years ago, went for $100. Stock set $300+,Top cover $50+ then your looking at rivets and the tools to do them, and to reblue dont even know! Its a nice rifle but its a frankengun for sure!

Agree with being very costly to restore to original.
Fairly certain the Romy wire stock is just a screw on, just like the original wood stock. no need to replace the rear trunnion.
GLWS!
