Does anyone know if bakelite magazines were manufactured for 7.62 and if so where I might find them?  I see them all the time on 74 pics and would like to pick some up for my 47.

I've seen some bakelite 7.62 AK mags. The people selling them seem to think they are collectible and charge accordingly.

For shooting mags I stick to Bulgarian waffles in plastic and Hungarian steel.

They're rather scarce and rather expensive to my knowledge but, Izhmash, Tula and, Norinco all made 30-round bakelite mags for the AK47.

If you would've looked one message thread above your own, you'd have some photos of them:  www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=4&f=55&t=71015

Molot may have made them too - for the 40rd bakelite in 7.62mm.
