What's the LE6920 of AK's ?

[STANGBOYTOM]

I'm looking to buy one good quality AK 47 patern rifle. What's the Colt or BCM version of a AK ? Also I need to stock up on some mags, what are the PMAG version of AK mags ? I am totally AK ignorant. Thoughts ?

There are AK pmags.
But you probably want US palm.

If you want the best "real" polymer AK mags , that would be circle 10 waffle mags. Steel locking lugs and steel reinforced feed lips are the defining features.

Find (if you can) a Chinese made rifle. Or a Yugo. Both are well made and beat the Romies all to heck in quality. JMO, YMMV!

 

[STANGBOYTOM]

Sorry guys I need to clarify I'm looking for a new rifle , are the century or psa rifles junk ?

 

[Knobgoblin]

Why do you want to buy " new" ?

 

[BSchmidt]

If you are buying new I would recommend a zastava over those options.

Watch torture tests of PSA AK rifles on AKOU on youtube and see for yourself. I thought he gave it a thumbs up.

Look for a Kragujevac/Zastava rifles. Made in Serbia. Excellent rifles, especially the recent ones with chrome-lined barrels. Zastavas are the quality standard of AKs. I've got one Ive had since the early 1980's. Easily the most accurate AK I have owned. Again tho, a Chinese used will out last you. USA-made AK's are not the best quality, and I'm lookin at Century specifically. But, YMMV!
Just sayin...

Looking for an established brand-name new AK(M) that belies consistent fit/quality? = Arsenal w/ accompanying polymer Circle10 mags.

PMAG produces a Gen3 AKM mag with steel reinforced lugs/spine, or one can also pay a premium for highly collectible Bakelite mags.

Arsenal SLR-107-series. Circle 10s are the only polymer AK mag worth owning, other than that East Euro or ChiCom Mil Surplus steel mag.

Personally, I wouldn't touch 'em, too many better options out there and not all of them are new rifles.

Unless they have updated them with steel reinforced feed lips AK PMAGs are a hard pass for me. Never could justify the crazy cost of Bakelite mags, but then I'm not a collector, I use my stuff.

Any experience with the $6 steel AK mags from Global Ordinance?

I haven't put many rounds through 1 so far, just functioned tested it and it seemed to he good to go.

In this current market I would say a WBP fox and some new Bulgarian steel magazines, surplus pattern

I wonder if there is enough slop in the AK naturally that it won't matter. Time will tell.

That's a really good price on a single unit consider it is within a few cents of a case 56 unit price.

So temping but damn I've never seen a Korean mag worth a crap.

Youtube might have reviews of them being tested. Physically they feel like they are built like a brick bubblegum house. I only ran a mag through it so far to function test it in a Palmetto AKP which is a 10.5 barrel AK pistol. Not a lot of testing, I know, but I didn't want to burn through a lot of ammo, I just wanted to see if there was anything obviously an issue.

For reference, I only use Glock OEM mags and refuse to own any Korean glock mags.
