Bulgarian waffle mags are pretty damn AWESOME!! But, Steel mags are good for the money. BEWARE; Stay away from U.S.made steel made mags.

Any European mags, as well as the Chinese. In fact some people like the Chinese mags because they don't have a spine, which in this case is a good thing, making mag changes a bit easier.

I have steel AK47 magazines from numerous countries. They are all good. The Circle 10 (plastic) Bulgarian waffles are good too (as someone mentioned above).

I like Chinese mags because they are light weight and have smooth backs, plus an attractive blued finish. The downside to them is that the finish is somewhat fragile and you should keep a light coat of grease on them to preserve and prevent rust. I like the Bulgarian circle 10 waffles because they are strong and fit snug and you never have worry about them rusting. If I lived in a wet climate (like a jungle or Florida) I would choose them for the no maintenance perk. They're all basically good.

I loves me some Chinese mags! I have a bunch of them, both welded and stamped versions.

From my experience just about all of the Euro and commie mags run fine. There is one mag that my Vectors won't run on though. I can't figure out why, but for some reason they just won't run on my Yugo BHO mags. I got about 50% FTF with my Yugo mags. I don't know if I've ever tried my yugo mags in any other AK's. It gets expensive testing 75 mags out in 10+ AK's to check function in all of them.

I'm currently switching over to polymer mags. A local shop carries Thermold polymer 30 round mags. I have ran 70 rounds through one and 150 through another. I have had 0 issues with either one of them. I like them because they are slimmer in profile and of course lighter in weight. Also, when you load rounds into the mags, there is no slop. That's one thing I hate about the steel mags.

My Poly Tech and other Chinese steel mags and drums have never let me down. The 100 rounders don't work as well as the 75s IMO.

If they are in stock, the Bulgarian and Russian mixed bag from AIM @ $10 each is a good deal.

I saw Blackwater guys using Tapco mags overseas. I bought a couple and they feel solid and they are a tighter fit in the mag well eliminating most mag wobble. As something I'd trust my life too I'm not so sure, just because tapco doesn't equal the best quality in my book. I'd have to run them through some more hard use before I made a decision.

I like the chinese / poly tech mags. Not sold on any polymer ones yet. Here's hoping for an AK Magpul PMAG!

just bought 4 yugo mags with bolt hold open seems the wasr's not care for them much. fitment is a problem only one of the four i bought seem to fit it. (however wasr are cheap guns and have problems its probly the rifle and not the mag) So beware of using yugo mags in a WASR 10 but every other steel mag seem to work just fine.

I use both steel and tapco polymer, no problems out of either.

I've always used steel mags. I don't like the look or feel of plastic and polymer mags on a wood and steel AK, just doesn't seem right to me. Polymer mags for polymer guns and steel mags for steel guns, maybe its just me.
