Revive old thread........... wound up trashing the chineeeeeee pos and reinstalled the correct original Russian. Checks 4.0.
I hope you sold it, instead of literally trashing it. They go for around $200 on ebay and Gunbroker now.
Well a 20 round mag would be illegal on Ebay (plus I'm done selling on ebay because they now report taxes) and it was a BEAR to get out, I wouldn't knowingly sell someone junk so it went to the dump. That and it was bent, spindled and mutilated.
There are/were a bunch on ebay, listed as "10rd" mags. Crazy stuff.
...that’s NOT what them fellas at the truck stop say...Not worth the risk to me, my ass is cherry and I intend to keep it that way.

There were several of “them.”
A couple even offered to provide pictures....
When I acquired my SKS, some 30 round duckbill mags were included(before the ban on them). I have tried all them with poor results. Metal and polymer, three different brands. They remain sitting in a parts box, with other things that will likely not be needed, but I hold onto anyway.
Glad to have the original magazine installed and functioning very well. Still love my SKS.
Luck of the draw I guess, my duckbill functions perfectly with both metal and plastic 30 rd mags. Poor mans chineeeeee AK which works just as well.
I have 3 Norinco SKSs converted to take detachable "duckbill" mags (prior to 10/1/2013). Have had no FTF with Tapco 20 rd mags or Archangle 20 or 30 rd mags. Even the two Korean 75 rd drums work well. Had to dremel the Tapco mags to be able to reload them with stripper clips though.
I also have an old USA brand steel mag which has never fed reliably.
Should the nuts get their way duckbills and even stock SKS's will be on the chop block. I'm seriously thinking of using it for trade bait.... they WERE worth 4 bills a couple years ago, now... who knows?
