Where AK magazines go to die
Updated: January 9th, 2013
Like Jim, who emailed me these photos, it makes me want to cry to see these magazines abused in this way. I would pay top dollar to buy them by the ton!
Used to “pave” the garden path.
An innovative way to fix pot holes.
See more of these photos at English Russia.
Thanks to Jim for sending me the link.
I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

You don't fuck with the country that fills potholes with magazines.
If you look close, all those "pot hole fillers" are empty!! No, I don't mean cartridges, I mean springs, followers, etc..
Yes, they could be defective, but they are probably left overs or an over run at the last minute when the Russians switched to the ALL BLACK mags. Though if not defective, you're right, I could just cry seeing these things abused like this :-( :-( :-(
On the " theAKforum.net" it was reported that a guy/company in the UK was selling these and mailing them to buyers in the US for $11 a piece + shipping.
I got 11 of them for $121 + shipping. They were all Tula made, still had ink stamps on them and one was even a long top!! WOO HOO!!!!!!! I now have 4 complete sets of bakelite mags.
1. 3 x Izhevsk flat back mags in the correct Russian mag pouch + one mag for the rifle
2. 3 x Izhevsk ridge back mags in the correct Russian mag pouch + one mag for the rifle
3. 3 x Tula flat back mags in the correct Russian mag pouch + one mag for the rifle
4. 3 x Tula ridge back mags in the correct Russian mag pouch + one mag for the rifle
Plus I have a few extra that I take to the range and shoot with, just to SHOW OFF!! hahahaha
