Does anybody know if the Bulgarian Waffle mags fit in a Chinese nmh 91 norinco ak-47? I have plenty of the 30 round and 20 round mags , but I have heard some people , send mags into tromix to have their magazines machined so they fit the weapon , is there any need? Plus are they any better than the metal magazines?

Its polymer right? so if it doesnt fit right just file some until it does. I haven't heard bad things about them.

The only polymer i've heard to stay clear of are the ProMags.

my personal preference is the European metal mags in 30 and 40, never had any problems with them (except for keeping them loaded

) that being said I have not heard any negatives about the bulgy waffles. I just spend my money on what I know works

Yes they will, all AKs are different, some need fitting, most don't.

I haven't actually had any of the Bulgie waffle mags in my hands yet. Are the feed lips steel, or is the whole mag polymer?
