#AC-Unity

AK-74 magazines have become increasingly expensive over the last few years. These days, surplus Bulgarian mags often retail for more than $50. Thankfully, the commercial market is stepping up to the plate with new options. This article is an examination of three of those magazines to see which is the best value.

AC-Unity, a firearms and accessories manufacturer from Bosnia and Herzegovina, in collaboration with a Turkish company has developed an  AK-12 magazine clone. Like the original Russian AK-12 magazine, the AC-Unity clone is also a 5.45x39mm magazine, has a 30-round capacity and is compatible with all AK rifles that take AK-74 magazines. The AC-Unity AK-12 magazine is already available in the USA through the RTG Parts (US importer of AC-Unity products) website.

Magazines for 9mm roller locks are few and far between. Most suck it up and get German-made H&K mags but at $70 per magazine it adds up quick. There have been some attempts at polymer magazines for the venerable MP5 but they are hit or miss. Also finding a magazine with a capacity of over 30 rounds that isn’t a drum, is very hard. For over a year HK Parts had a windowed polymer magazine on their website but it was “coming soon”. Well, they are finally available. Let’s take a look at the AC-Unity MP5 magazines.

AC-Unity is a firearms and accessories manufacturing company located in Bosnia and Herzegovina. They have recently started exporting new quad stack 60-round 7.62x39mm AK magazines to the USA. This company and its products are mostly unknown to the American gun community that’s why I decided to do a little research to find out who they are and what they make.
