Makes changing out sks mags so much easier

All 5 work perfect
Very nice, I had some cheap ones that jammed all the time and would not load

Great
Works perfect looks great.

They work very well in my SKS. They are easy to put in, take off and put another one on. Usually can exchange mags in about 8 seconds. I have had no issues with rounds sticking and not discharging.

Not as good as I was hoping for
I slight improvement over older metal mags but fitment seems a little poor and of course the SKS is horrible for combat reloads. Mag release is better but would be bad in a real tactical scenario but that being said this would not be my go to choice anyway.

Best mag ive ever tried
Ive tried every metal mag and polymer in past, i have 2 40 promags that never worked polymer, ive got some polymer tapcos, that would work 10 or so rounds before jamming, ive had metal ones that would never work, this mag straight out of the box fit my yugo 59/66 perfectly, and fired all 35 rounds flawlessly with no added adjustment, I was supprizingly shocked, will order more and burn my old ones, worked just as well as my 11 round original

Best SKS magazines on the market
Fits my Norinco perfectly, perfect for quick tactical reloads, and always turns heads at the range. Absolutely going to buy more.

Great product
Works great in my 1951 Yugoslavia SKS with no modifications

Works perfectly in Chinese SKS
Works perfectly in a Norinco SKS, with original wood or Archangel polymer stock. What more do you want?

Yes it works with a Tapco stock
This mag will work with the Tapco stock.... I used an Emory board to smooth off the mold lines on the front of the magazine. This gave the mag the extra clearance to be removed and inserted flawlessly with one hand. Please keep in mind that not all SKS rifles have the same tolerances. This was necessary on my rifle.

Hit or miss, mostly good though
These are actually pretty awesome. Takes modern creature comforts and brings them to an old platform, makes it way more convenient to swap mags quickly. The only drawbacks: before I put the archangel stock on my SKS, these didn't work. They wouldn't fully engage the magazine release on my rifle and they were very difficult to remove. Even after the stock swap, sometimes they work flawlessly. Other times they seem to hang. I feel like one of the two I've gotten releases a lot more smoothly, while the other requires tremendous effort even though they appear identical. Overall a good purchase though. It's definitely worth giving at least one a shot.

Total game changer!
I love my SKS, but had been considering either selling it or going back to the fixed magazine that came with it and using stripper clips. Everybody knows the mag changes with the SKS have always required serious physical contortions or "three hands." I mastered it, but I wanted something faster for myself, and easier for my wife and kids. I'm so glad I found this new mag by Arch Angel before I did something stupid! Like I said, it's a total game changer! Now I can easily change the mags with two hands and get going again. I bought several! Now all my old mags will lay around just in case I ever need them--and I sure hope I don't! Pros: Fast and normal two handed mag changes.

Nice mag but doesn't fit the Tapco SKS stock
I bought this to go with a Yugo SKS I swapped with a Tapco stock but it doesn't fit.
July 13, 2018
Works in my Yugo
Easy to install in my Yugo SKS. Locked in nice and snug and makes the rifle look like a 125% sized AK! No modifications of the mag needed!

Would by again
I have bought these before and wanted extras, they work great in my Chinese SKS.

Worked with my Chinese SKS
I disabled the whole rifle down to the wood. When I put it back together, I put in the barrel then magazine followed by the rest. It will release from the stock mag release!!
January 31, 2018
Awesome
Mag works great, i should have (will be) buying several more. I've got about 300 rounds through it with no malfunctions and the mag release has worked flawlessly so far.
September 22, 2017
pleasantly suprised
after trying different sks magazines, this one is right up there. the promag 30 rounds are reliable but i think these are a bit better. not one misfeed out of the archangel with all 35 rounds stacked in there. i am going to buy some more.

Stick with Tapco
Purchased two of these based off of the other reviews. The lever on the mag is supposed to push back the magazine release, essentially making it easier to swap mags, the 2 I got would not push it back far enough to release the magazine, and on top of that the lever on the magazine is between the rifles magazine release and the notch on the mag, making it very difficult to get out. I should have just stuck with the Tapco, definitely not worth the hassle or the $30 price tag.

Best SKS magazine I've ev
Best SKS magazine I've ever purchased. No modifications necessary, no razorblade to shave it down, it goes right in with no oil like butter. The thumb release is amazing. Finally! One handed releases, and its 35 rounds. There is no reason to buy a Tapco or a Promag ever again, just order the Archangel.

This the best Sks mag I'v
This the best Sks mag I've used yet!!! Pops in and out with one hand easily and quickly. Hasn't jammed up once loaded to capacity. A1 quality product!!

Will It work on a wood stock Russian sks
Answer:
Yes, but it may require removing wood from the magazine well area of the stock.
Will this work I my Chinese SKS with the original stock? I bought a Pro Mag and it doesn't work
Answer:
This is larger than the non-Archangel ProMag and will require even more wood removal from the magazine well area to work.
I have a tapco stock sks would this fit on mine?
Answer:
No, most of the Tapco SKS stock have a built in magazine release lever and are not compatible with this type of magazine. You need an SKS magazine without a built in lever. Check out item # MAG-600 or MAG-428-015.
Will this work with a Chinese sks with a synthetic stock
Answer:
Yes. But the stock may need to be modified for clearance.
Any modifications needed for the Russian model SKS
Answer:
You may need to clearance the stock to fit the magazine.
Will this fit a Yugo SKS with no modifications
Answer:
Probably not. You will most likely need to remove wood from the magazine well area to fit this.
I have a Norinco Polymer SKS. Is this magazine compatible with my rifle?
Answer:
Yes. But the stock may need to be modified for clearance.
Is any modification required to the sks before mag. Can be used ?
Answer:
Yes. The existing fixed magazine has to be removed.
Will this mag work with a TAPCO INTRAFUSE T6 stock on a norinco SKS? Is there a specific mag that works better than others for the TAPCO T6?
Answer:
The best choice would be the TAPCO INTRAFUSE SKS 7.62x39mm 20 Round Magazine, item MAG-634.
This seems to be a great magazine but you should put a limiter for five shots for certain states such as New York. If that style magazine is available 20 to 35 with a 5 shot limiter I'm a buyer for 4 magazines.
Answer:
Other companies make 5 rounders. Not as nice but don't need quick changes when hunting.
Does this magazine seem to work better in any specific model of SKS rifle? I own Yugo , Norico & Tula Russian. I've put Tapco stock on one Norinco. Archangel on another. Yugos and Russian are original.
Answer:
Our feedback on these magazine are that they work about as well in any SKS rifle.
