AK74 Mag I.D.
Hello Experts,
I've got an AK mag that I believe is a 5.45x39, 10rnd piece but don't know its country of origin. It's ribbed but there are no stampings anywhere. The floorplate has two spring loaded buttons. The larger side plate is smooth like some AK47 European makes. The side of the mag has three concave ribs. One large and two small. Also, is there a diff between a Krink mag(in .223) and a 74(in 5.45)? Thank you for your help.

Check this photo out. It was made in East Germany. Century imported and sold them in the 90's as "Sniper Rifles" IMHO, they were actually made for running boar competition.

2 buttons on bottom? Sounds like an East German Weiger .223 magazine 0 -
Take a look at this link, I got off the net.

IMHO, a East German mag in 5.45 x 39, would be worth more money than a Roumanian in 5.56 x 45. I don't know about function wise? Never owned, or shot either one.0
