20 round AK mags

[d4.3vil]

as I understand the law, magazines in MD are limited to 20 rounds or less assuming no special county or city ordnance stating otherwise. thus, http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=85490325 would be legal to receive in MD (20 round AK mag)

Correct me if I'm wrong

Mostly correct. I know of no local law that further limits magazine capacity. NOt saying they don't exist in MD, but I'm pretty sure we would have heard of it by now if they did. In any case state preemption dissallows them from doing so.

They always have tons of mags up on their site. Some come in and out of stock, but there's usually a good selection in different colors/manufacturers.

20+ round mags are not legal to buy or sell in MD, but are perfectly legal to simply own or possess, hence a trip to The Harrisburg gun show on December 8-9, or a trip to Laymans. There may me more, or closer PA or VA shops that have 30rd mags in stock. They run about $15ea for brand new very nice mags at the show, or $20 for decent surplus mags from Laymans.

Mags 20rds and under are perfectly legal to buy, sell and so on, but few online retailers I have run into group MD in with the 10rd states, and won't sell otherwise perfectly legal mags to MD residents.

also steer clear of some of the "chopped" mags, I had found some realy nice looking Yugo mags at a gun show a year or so ago for $10, bought one but it only held 17rds, and you had to fight to get the last few rounds in, pulled the floorplate, and saw it was basically a cut down 30rd mag (wasn't even cut straight), with the base flared to hold the plate, but the spring was not shortened, mag went in the trash, but I kept the spring and follower as a spare

The plastic foreign made AK mags are best I've heard... Then metal foreign mags are 2nd best...then US made mags come last

The 30 rd Bulgarian waffle mags are nice - they are plastic with metal floor plate - usually run about $25-$30 at gunshows. They will be marked with a Circle 10. I have a few of them. I have two of the US Promag waffle mags and they work fine in my AK's. I have never had an issue with them. They look almost identical to the Bulgarian ones. Some people dislike the Promags because they have plastic floor plate or they say they are not as durable. They cost a bit less.

Like stated earlier head up to the Harrisburg gunshow in a few weeks and get as many as you want. There will be all types of AK mags for sale.

I got 19 Hungarian 20 Rounders from What a Country when they had 'em for $9 a piece. They run GREAT. Just make sure you get the REAL Hungarian mags and not the ones with the funky feed lips. The real Hungarians should look like a regular ribbed 30 rounder, just shorter.

I'm running all Bulgarian waffle mags (about $25 each for 20-rds). Have never had an issue. They're a little more expensive than the Hungarian ones, but they're made of translucent plastic so you can see how many rounds you have left (like AUG, G36, SIG 550/551 mags).

Highly recommended.

SOG has the Hungarian 20 rounders for $7.95.

They don't have everything on their website, you might need to call them. I saw them in the catalog though. www.southernohiogun.com
