Who makes the best AK 47 magazines? We reckon Bulgarian AK mags are among the best you can get. That’s right \u2014 the ones from Bulgarian Magazines (the manufacturer).<\/p>\n

Some manufacturers rise to the top because their products are proven and trusted. Bulgarian Magazines has done just that, and if you want evidence, watch this drop test video from KIMO365. It’s pretty impressive to see this 30-round, steel-reinforced AK47 magazine keep rolling after so much abuse. <\/p>\n

Bulgarian Mag Bonus!<\/h2>\n

The Makarov is known as the AK-47 of pistols. Combining manageable recoil with slim design and solid stopping power, the Makarov has been getting the job done since shortly after World War II.

It remains a classic for collectors and civilian shooters.  <\/p>\n

So, of course<\/em> we carry Bulgarian mags for the Makarov.<\/p>\n
