E&L Airsoft 120rd Mid-Cap Magazine for AK-74 Series Airsoft AEG Rifles (Color: Bakelite Brown)

"These mags are great, although they are not a standard size(they feed well, but they're not the same size as CYMA)

"Love these, mags, fit like a glove in my E&L 105 and my CYMA RPK, solid build, feels good, feeds super smooth, mine have been beaten, dropped, loaded improperly and so much more and they keep on going without fail

"These are some of the most solidly built AK mags for airsoft that I've handled. They beat MAG brand mags for realism and quality by quite a lot. The plastic these are made of feels thick and solid in the hand. They're sturdy and I wouldn't be worried if one fell from my chest rig or if I dropped it accidentally while reloading. I use them in my CYMA AKS-74 and they fit pretty good right out of the box with only a little side to side wobble which I fixed with some strips of gaffers tape along the side. They feed well and I haven't had any issues so far with them. They come already lubricated with some silicone oil so the spring moves well and loads pretty close or spot on to the 120 round capacity.

In short these are the best TM compatible 5.45 style AK mags I've used and if they have the color you want in stock you won't be disappointed.

"These mags are very nice, especially for polymer, but I can lift my E&L AK74 with just the mag, they feed great, but leave about 5-10 BB's when it's done firing. Thinking about getting another one, but mounting it into a sturdy wood base and making a stand for my AK74.

"feeds really well into e&l ak74, for other guns i am not sure, but it fits well and functions great. I have heard they are crappy, but they hold up

"These mags are good but dont rock and lock them too much.

These mags took a bit of force to get to lock into my DE AKS74u, but they fit well and fed great.
The only problem is the lip which retains the front of the mag in the gun snapped off after i did a bunch of reloads (this isnt entirely the mag's fault, i shouldnt have done so many practice reloads) but i still wish the front lip was made of something sturdier like metal.

"They get the job done

-Very wobbly
It doesn't hurt, its just slightly annoying. Stick some tape on the sides to fill in the space.

-Will leave 1-3 bbs when spring is relaxed
I prefer this to those stupid mags that will want to eject the end of the spring and potentially damage it.

-Metal bottoms sliding off
The bent part doesn't even come close to touching the core of the mag so if you aren't careful, the metal plates will slide off in your mag pouch.

"The midcaps that come with E&L are utter trash, it's actually surprising that the highest end airsoft AK has the worst magazines. Just get a mag brand.

The issue isn't the mag itself, it's what they did to make it. They decided 'hey lets use a much less durable material than real bakelite and use a really weak spring with a hole too wide for the nub so that it lets dirt and debris in!' and I guess the CEO thought it was a great idea.


In a pros and cons sense:

Pros:

Comes free with every E&L
Looks alright, looks better than Mag brand but looks can be deceiving.

cons:

Expensive for how crappy they are
Weak tension spring, you'll be lucky to get half your bbs out
bad material, mine broke after one skirmish and I didn't even run it that hard.

In short: Just get mag brand magazines
