[QUOTE="TheLawMan, post: 4123140, member: 46657"] Ah! Thank You for that info. I had a WASR 3 I parted ways with about 6 years ago, because finding magazines was such a pain. Someone did tell me that 545 mags would work, but would need a few alterations, so I never really tried. Wish I’d found these earlier! Lol. As to a 223 marking, actually None of them, even the painted ones, have no markings anywhere on the mag other than the numbers on the right side. Would you happen to know anything about the slight differences in the followers and lugs on the 4 unpainted mags? The 2 followers on the left seem to be a polymer of some sort and the other 2 are metal. And the left 2 also have U cuts in the top of the lug. I’m just wondering if this was just how they evolved though production, or other reasons? Also, I’m not sure if it’s relevant, but the 2 with poly followers and cuts are numbered conservatively 42 & 43, and the metal followers are 19 & 32. [/QUOTE]
