AK MID CAP MAG 140RND - BLACK

With full fledged production of the type 1 AK-47 underway in 1948, the first issue magazine for the Kalashnikov is generally referred to as the slab side due to it’s flat sides. Stamped from 1mm sheet steel, the slab side is a monster of a magazine and very tough. The problem was, they were very heavy, relatively. These began with a blued finish and were later produced with an enameled finish. They feature the Izhevsk arsenal mark on the lower back of the magazine and many inspection proof stamps. Many were serialized to the rifles with which they were issued with electro-pencil and occasionally will have a serial stamped into the magazine.
