At $8 a mag these seem like a steal, but I don't know if they have metal reinforcements. I hear that the reinforced Radom mags are pretty good and that the non reinforced ones are crap. Anybody have any experience with these?

I bought 10 of them a couple months ago. If I remember right, they're made in Poland, but not the actual Radom factory. I had to shave some material from the rear of the magazines to get them to fit. I test fitted a couple different of my AK's. As far as feeding, they don't seem to have any problems. If you're willing to do a little work with a file, they're a good deal.

I'm on akfiles.com too and there were some posts/reviews when they first came to the market. You might want to search there too.

I'll try to double check tomorrow, but I'm pretty sure the locking lug is metal. The feed lips are not.
