These are good quality full metal airsoft AK mags. Unlike in the picture, they are actually just a normal black painted magazine.

I'm not 100% sure what you're trying to do here.

You plan on converting *airsoft* MP5 mags into *real steel* AK47 magazines to use on your real AK? Is that correct?

I hope not, because that's a special kind of retarded.

The way he put it, I had the same impression... sorry for the misinterpretation and sounding like an asshole Pickles

Sir it is no problem, I did check out red alliance (Where as i got my idea)

Like i said, its mostly for the cool factor, if i can get these to work, then more power to me.

If not, well, thats that. : )

Thanks for the input guys, and thanks to anyone who helped. Ill update this thread as i go.

Will the AK mags lock into your airsoft rifle?

Also, I think it'll be time consuming and difficult, just due to the fact that I would think you'd have to have the bb's line up correctly to feed.

I like my TM magazines. They age like real magazines and look realistic.

I don't think it's a retarded idea, if you can get it to work, heh.

My real mags would lock into my old CYMA and my Real Sword if it wasn't for the feed lips.

doesnt matter who made the real mags. be it molot or whatever.you still need to neuter them. then install the guts. there was a guy on red alliance selling a few mags with the airsoft guts in and tops cut off he was commanding near $50 per mag. they sold within the day.

if you ever get a chance to hold real sword midcaps that should suffice then wasting cash to try this. for 5.45 style there is no good magazine. their all plastic and all have feed issues or springs dying, G&P STAR MAG you name it. getting real steel mags converted would be nice. i'd buy them but a problem stated on red alliance was the real steel mags they bought in 5.,45 has soldier markings all over them are they werent from the same manufacture.

For anyone intrested, they used AK mids in these, but ive read the other guide on bakelites, and someone mentioned the idea of using MP5 mags internally.
