Default R U sure?

I got some chinese mags that look similiar to it but the indention at the top is different from them. also they have a solid back locking in tab this one has a hole in the back tab.Not saying they are not because I don't know but the ones that came with my origional Norinco years back are not like the mag pictured although both are missing the back rib.Like I said before the back tab... you could pass a ice pic through it kinda a bad design for military because underneath the whole tab is a hollow cubby hole for dirt and debris to get in but it probably wouldn't affect function just slowly start to rust out.Anybody else?

Default So ChiComs

So the ChiCom's made two different mags? Why? Any one more desirable than the other. Also I got a load of the bolt hold open mags, are they worth much more than a regular mag. Doesn't really mean that much to me; but I'd like to know if they are worth something. Thanks

How much they are worth is determined by the current market and currently the market is flooded.Check various for sale forums for the going rates and that should give you a clue.

The Chinese "all stamped" without the spot welded feed lips and the "bulged" style latch is different than the earlier Chines ags but both do not have the raised rear seam. The bolt hold open are Yugo's. Both were unmmon and did command a bit nmore money. Common now with all the SG mags on the market. Not worth more than $8 or $10 bucks.
