Don’t need them but with knowing what bakelite is are they Durable enough to handle the punishment of an ak? I’m sure normal plinking would be fine but battle use is another story…

I posted them here because some people like to get as authentic as possible. I see these as collectibles or display purposes. I don’t think I would depend on them for anything in real life unless my last option 
they look great, but their price does not. lol. yeah i dont know if i’d even have one loaded ever if i had bought one. it’d be a collectors item or display item only.

yall joking right?
joking about which part?
just the durability of these mags. they are the standard of which all polymer mags of today are held to. yes they were limited to the technology of their time with bakelite but the fact that you still see them on the modern battlefield of today after 60 plus years is a testament to its durability
