earl, mags are avilable relatively cheap, look a czechpoint-usa.com. nailoth, have a gunsmith do the work, all good then. wink, sorry your experiance wasn't as good - was it a D-technic build, or the Century re work version?

I guess I would argue the differences are not worth the modest difference in price to that of a Romanian Wasr. 10 bucks for mag that will fit any AK sure beats 60 that will only fit the VZ. Then again sometimes cool stuff costs a lot.
* Its receiver is always milled, and i believe they thicker than a milled AK; this results in a potentially longer service life than even the venerable AK
* Its open bolt design drastically reduces the chance of the most common malfunction seen with the AK; a stovepipe caused by empty brass.
* It has a better reputation for accuracy. This could be because the sights are better than those found on most AKs, but the guns themselves are manufactured with more attention to detail, so I'm sure that helps out too.
I dunno. I expected great things over an AK, and after close to 1000 rounds through it, I was still left wanting. It was solid and reliable...I just eventually came to the realization that I'd spent $900 on a gun that is only marginally better than it's $400 counterpart, offers fewer aftermarket options and is less accurate than a $100 SKS...so I sold it.
Hey, I resemble that remark! Actually first rifle I owned that I put any gee gaws on, none of the others were worth it....quad rails, collapsible stocks, scope mounts, pistol grips, and a dozen other useless geegaws...

There are no "best" magazines.1858 said:If someone would be so kind as to recommend the "best" magazines available that would be greatly appreciated
They're either Czech milsurp (used) or Czech milsurp (unissued).

Please look at the options before replying. There are also mags with U.S.-made springs, followers and baseplates needed for compliance purposes and ten round double stacks for the California market.
The easiest way to 922r compliance is to get a US made gas piston and a US made pistol grip. At that point, you can use any magazine - regardless of it's domestic content count.1858 said:I'm still wading through the 922R compliance "stuff" trying to figure out what I have and don't have, what I can and can't do, but I have to admit I'm excited about this purchase. The safest route is to buy either the surplus or refinished 30-round magazines with US made parts for $18 or $24 respectively.

I do not consider replacing metal with plastic (mags with US components) parts a move toward "best".
