Chinese Transitional 30 Round Magazine – 7.62x39mm (NOS)

Product Description

Surplus Chinese transitional steel magazines were the second generation of Chinese manufactured steel magazines made for the Type 56 family of rifles. These magazines have the Chinese long style follower and only two horizontal ribs at the bottom instead of the typical five ribs. The two-rib design is similar to the Yugoslavian M70 magazine, but the Chinese ribs extend across the entire magazine. The spotwelds on the front lug and spine are generally neat circles and there are no identifying stamps anywhere on the magazine.

We cannot ship to states or counties with magazine capacity restrictions. We do offer to pin many common surplus and new production magazines to 10/30 rounds to comply with local laws.
