It was bound to happen sooner or later. Magpul Industries has announced a polymer 30 round magazine for the AK pattern platforms.

The PMAG® 30 AK MOE®, 7.62 x 39 magazine  is a durable, lightweight, high reliability 30-round polymer magazine designed for Kalashnikov pattern rifles (AK-47, AKM, AKS, and others) in 7.62×39 mm. It features a removable floorplate, constant curve geometry, and a high-reliability/low-friction follower.

The company expects to start shipping late summer 2013. M.S.R.P has not been announced but I think it’s safe to plan on $17 to $20 price point. AK owners will now have access to quality AK magazines made in the U.S.A.
