If the pic is representative, they're not going to be any worse than the others:

I ordered a few. I'll post up what they look like when they get in. My AK mag stock is low.

Is shipping flat rate/25 or something like that?

I'm trying to figure out how much I'm about to spend (I know, call, but I'm at work and can't sneak away just yet:flipoff2:).

That's how it was last time. I think 7.95 shipping per 25.

yeah, they're sitting in the base of my gun cabinet. i was hoping they'd just sell themselves, but I guess they're not that special. i probably should put a bit of effort into it.

there's a gun show in indy this weekend. thought about going and trying to sell them, but don't think i'll have the time.

To be honest - with just 10 of them, I'd just leave them sitting there and use them for barter material later on... IMHO, that's probably your best bet to come out ahead in the long run.

yeah, i've thought about that. no clue what they'll be worth in the future though. i'd really like to get a lower parts kit for an ar and start building that, but can't find one anywhere.

Wonder why they put a limit of 25 per order? Does that mean that you can get 50 if you do two seperate orders?

Even though my gun budget is already blown for the month, the wife let me order some anyway. :grinpimp:

She rocks, if it wasn't for her I'd be living in a cardboard box full of gun crap and scout parts. Someone has to be the voice of reason.

Thanks for the heads up guys. Ended up shipping 11 of the last set out in trade and never got my end of the deal in return so this will replenish the stock. Nope to self...flat rate boxes with no tracking...can work against you.

When I never got my package of mags from you, I figured they'd never arrived. I didn't take you for a thief so go figure. I sent it USPS flat rate box thingy. No tracking...Never will I try to be cheap again. I've never had issues before, and if by some strange way it arrives, feel free to send it back..the return postage was in the box. :shaking: Sucks for both of us.

If you still need mags, this isn't quite as good a deal, but is cheaper than a lot of places.

30 round Bulgarian Steel 7.62 mags. Web price is 15.00, but if you call and ask, the price is 12.60 each. These are new-condition.

So, how are most of you selling these? Other forums, gunshows, craigslist?

I posted a somewhat disguised add on craigslist and have had a few inquiries, but noone jumping on them. They're priced okay, but I'm not about to give them away just yet.

Just curious. And if you cheap buttplugs don't wanna reveal your secrets:flipoff2:

I'm not selling them. I'm a little short on AK mags.

AR mags on the other hand, I've been selling on ARFcom, local or here. Haven't sold any in a few weeks though.

the Arfcom equipment exchange really is a good place to sell stuff. It's hard to get that much exposure to people who love to spend money anywhere else.

Ya, I'll go there if the local route doesn't work out. I'd like to not have to worry about shipping.

I'm now considering just sitting on them for a few weeks :laughing:, but I'm impatient!

I can't give away too many of my sources, but let me just say this: There are MILLIONS of places on the web to list stuff for sale, or *find* deals besides CL, and the other big name ones. Do some searching, and see what you can find. Focus on things that are 'local' to you, great places to find killer deals AND find buyers who don't have a problem meeting you FTF to avoid shipping cost/hassles.

Got mine today, about 15 were like new, 6 or 7 little beat and the rest ass drug through the rust belt. All of the followers moved though. Now I have a problem though....I bought 25 to have a few extra and sell a few but now I want to keep them all. :(

I got my 8 from Copes. They are in really good condition for the price relative to new pricing these days. A few look basically unused. A few are worn on the edges finish wise and such with very minor dings. None had any rust that was worth mentioning. I'm happy with what I got.

Shhhh! That's where mine are getting sold! :flipoff2:

Out of 25, 3 are beat to hell and will only sell at a discount. About 5-7 were nearly new, just missing the park on the corners. 5 were probably never used, and the rest have light surface rust.

Some of the rusty ones were repainted with a super-high-gloss paint. Right over all of the rust, so it's bubbling. Shiny AK mags look really gay, and they'll need a quick blast & paint to get my money out of them.

Ya, I got some of the "refinished" ones to. I've considered taking the time and just redoing all of them so I can get the most out of em, but then I know I'd be attached to them and not sell. The whole reason I bought so many is to make profit, I suck at this:shaking:

Got all mine today. Of the ones I ordered I had 1 beat to hell floorplate, 1 spot of surface rust on a mag body, and 1 that only had half a spring. :confused: I'd like to know the story on that.

The rest were in great shape and most of them didn't even need to be wiped down.
