Does anyone know the reason for the funky coloured mags? I've always wonderd...

Ba·ke·lite (bā'kə-līt', bāk'līt')

A trademark used for any of a group of synthetic resins and plastics found in a variety of manufactured articles.

Im not sure if that is the correct definition of 'bakelite' but it sounds right.

I think the types of resin used in the production of bakelite was the factor that determined the colour.

I guess its the russian way of production. Asthectics don't matter as long as it perfoms its job.
