Scottsdale Gun Club has just added the AK30 magazine from US PALM to their website. The name is pretty self-explanatory. It is a 30 round polymer magazine for the 7.62 x 39 AK family of weapons. The five sided box design eliminates a removable floor plate found on other magazines. The AK30 has a unique low-friction semi-floating follower that is slotted to allow for easy magazine cleaning and hassle-free maintenance. It can be cleaned with simple soap and water and dry material flows free through the vented follower design. The chromium-silicon spring that is heat treated, stress relieved and Mil-Spec corrosion resistant coated so cleanings or exposure to the elements won’t result in rust. Life expectancy for this spring is 100,000+ cycles. The AK30’s locking surfaces are reinforced by a stainless steel cage that has been molded into the entire top of the magazine. Additionally, the front and rear of the magazine integrate a serrated surface and the flat sides are molded in a waffle pattern. Another interesting feature is the angle on the toe of the AK30 making it possible to use a vertical fore grip. Available in Black and Flat Dark Earth from sgcusa.com.
If you need a way to carry your new mags in style you might want to check out the AK Attack Rack (AKAR). It holds 4 AK30 magazines (or similar) as well as 4 pistol magazine which will also accommodate most high-cap pistol magazines, a folding knife, mini-gas canister, or similar sized items. Additional mags can be stored in the hidden universal pocket. Berry compliant and manufactured from Cordura and ITW buckles the AKAR is offered in Black, Coyote, Khaki, and MultiCam.
