    Specifically the AK mids if possible, but general info is welcome, as I have heard a lot of dodgey things about the quality of KA in general with their mags.

    Thanks.

    Ok, they are cheap and metal, they are mid caps, how can they be that bad?

    I mean, its impressive if they managed to feck that up, its a spring and follower.

    ive always heard bad about them but iv a box of M4 mids running perfect for the last two years, never one misfeed, jam or dump.

    On the other hand iv always heard good about Mag Mids but i had a good bit of trouble breaking some AK mids in, even to get 100 in was effort.

    there was also a very small layer of plastic holding the pin in the stop block at the other end of the spring, wasnt overtly impressed to be honest, the colour was alright, good for bakelite-ing anyways

    are the ones youre looking at 47 yeah?

    King Arms have a highest rate of jamming that ive seen with any magazines ive ever used. MAG are the most reliable ive used on contrast. That said there are decent ones. I have KA Vietnam mags and their grand. not really old enough to recommend them highly but they feed fine.

    I might chance it, if they are muck, well, I'll stick them up on ebay and try to re-coup the losses.

    If they fit the receiver, I'd be happy enough to fuss about a bit with the feed mechanism to improve reliability.
