It’s -20 below zero in Anchorage today so I was organizing stuff in my gun room and decided to count my Chinese AK flatback mags. I noticed one of them has a flat floor plate and all the rest have the normal Chinese floor plates. Have you ever seen this floor plate? It just has me wondering if this is something other than a Chinese mag? Russian floor plate perhaps?

The floor plate is crimped on pretty good, I tried to remove it but it won’t budge.

Yeah I bought it from a member in the EE. I have about a dozen or so flatbacks and this one is the only one with the flat floorplate

Looks Like a Base Plate off a Russian Slab Side Magazine.

Found This EE Ad and It Has Pics of a Slab Side Base Plate.

Kinda what I thought too, it’s been a hot minute since I’ve handled a Russian slab side but thought those had flat floor plates. Thanks for the reply
