scored a hell of a deal on 74 mags

[warriorbob]

this is rare for me as I'm usually a day late or a dollar short when it comes to scoring deals. I was searching for ak74 magazines and thought I was decided on surplus tantal mags because of their low cost compared to other surplus mags. Well I was doing search, trying to find which site has the best shipping cost and ended up on guns America. searching through there I found Russian bakelite mags for $20.50 each! Reading in the description he said they appear to have been issued to trainees as the insides look amazing with little to no wear but the outsides have had names scratched into them and scratched out etc. I was kind of curious and also a little hesitant about ordering from someone out of state so I contacted him about them via phone. He said he received them from Russia with a large shipment of excellent condition magazines and decided since they were freebies he'd let them go cheap. Seems like a nice guy and he has excellent user feed back so I took the leap of faith and ordered several. He said he'd have them shipped out tomorrow so hopefully ill have them here soon and I can post pictures. He did send me pics via email and the insides look great, no wear or stains, just cosmetic scratches on the mag bodies.

I was thinking the same thing... did not figure it out until I got to the end of his post ,, and said 'several' mags....

So, how many is too many?

I think the scratches make them cooler.

Thats what I think. Usps tracking says they'll be delivered tomorrow.

Any more than you can effectively carry loaded, I'd say. Then again, when the zombies come, if you're gonna be doing all your shooting from your rooftop, there's probably no such thing as too many.

Well my mags arrived just I was leaving for school but I was able to give them a quick look over. The insides look great but very dirty and the outside are as described, scuffed and scratched. Quick sample pick of one. More to come tonight.

They match the furniture on my tantal pretty well

All in all they look pretty good and have nice lock up in my tantal. The camera didnt capture it to well but you can faintly see names and stuff scratched into the bodies but I think it adds character.
