Will AR magazines work in my AK rifle?
No. AR magazines use a different feed geometry and locking interface. AK rifles require magazines built to AK pattern specifications. Confirm your rifle’s magazine interface and cartridge before attempting cross-platform use.
How do I know if a magazine is for 7.62×39 or 5.45×39?
Manufacturers usually mark caliber compatibility on the magazine body or packaging. Visual differences in cartridge width and follower shape are clues, but always verify markings and test fit in your rifle to confirm compatibility.
Are polymer AK magazines reliable in harsh conditions?
High-quality polymer magazines can perform very well and offer corrosion resistance and weight savings. Choose models with reinforced feed lips and proven spring designs, and test them with your ammunition in the environments you expect to use them.
What causes AK magazine feed failures and how do I fix them?
Feed failures often result from weak springs, bent feed lips, or dirty followers. Clean the magazine, replace worn springs or followers, and discard magazines with permanently deformed lips to restore reliable feeding.
Is a drum magazine a good choice for recreational shooting?
Drum magazines offer high capacity for extended range sessions but are heavier and can be slower to reload. They work well for recreational use where allowed, but test them with your rifle and preferred loads before relying on them in dynamic situations.
