other is my 60th anniversary kalashnikov(no clue as to brand) with hicap mag made of plastic
OEM CYMA


comparing the mags, the look very very similar where even the holes where the BBs align
Ribbed magazine is a Russian AK-47 style magazine, bulgarian style waffle magazine is the other.

biggest difference is the tiny tab holding the BBs from flying out are on opposite sides


if i try loading the mags in the other gun, it will not fire
they load and lock into each other, just does not release the BBs
I don't understand does the magazine not feed properly?

i'd like to get more mags, but am afraid to in case i get mags that won't work

i'm looking at another AK(Kalashnikov AK74 SU)
wondering if that mag is also different from these
AKS-74u uses a AK-74 5.45x39mm magazine it is not as curved as the 7.62x39 magazines
also, does AK mags fit the SVD dragunov?
in pics....ribbed is crosman

last pic, tops, right is wafle and left is ribbed(crosman)
