PUF GUN, based in Chelyabinsk Russia, have released new 60-round 5.45×39 mm magazines for the AK platform.

I suppose there are not too many rifles in civilian ownership available at the moment, but perhaps the market will pick up and there might be some forces that will appreciate doubling the capacity.

The magazines looks like they are of high quality, but the quality and function is hard to judge without actually field testing them over time.

It would be interesting to see how the stacking works in these magazines, but unfortunately there are no pictures of the design or a filled transparent magazine.

There might be some IPSC practical shooters that will appreciate these as well.

The 9 mm magazines look really nice too. They also make magazines for the 366 TKM “shotgun”.
