How are the Israeli FAB mags as far as durability goes?

I’ve only taken my Fab Def mag out a few times so can’t comment on durability, but mine does feed and function just fine.
There’s not many posts on the Fab Def mags, but I’ve not seen anyone post a failure.
FYI AIM Surplus had surplus mags in good condition for $16.
And the AC Unity mags for VZ58s is a cheaper alternative to FD. Never used em in my VZ but got some for my AK and they’re thin plastic but metal reinforced front n back, no issues.

I picked up 3 of their 10-rd magazines. Haven't used them a whole lot yet but they seem to work just fine.

they're fine. most people just don't get them because you can still find NOS surplus aluminum mags for cheaper

and to update, if these were $15 or less many of us would own a lot more

As an alternative, check out the AC unity mags. I like them alot better than the fab mags
