Bulgarian 5.45x39 Magazine Internals

[Angel_956]

I've recently bought a few Bulgarian Circle 21 5.45x39 magazines and noticed that the magazine followers and floorplate inserts were brown instead of like others I've seen that are black.

Is there a specific reason why they're a different color and if so why?

You'll see different color variations in followers, and bodies in Bulgarian magazines.

The Bulgarians produced black mags, and several other colors for their military usage.

Repair parts from different colors have made it into different color mags. .
