Always good to have choices but at over $50 per, and for an oversized mag that most won’t use for sitting or prone, I don’t see this as being financially successful. Do they have a 20, or plans to make one? Hope I’m wrong about this, sure wouldn’t be the first time. Lol.

 

Those will work great with an 14E2 with a bipod!

 

If they are quality, I'm interested.

 

Has some pretty stellar reviews.

CSSpec mags are very well made. They specialize in offering mags that are for unusual platforms (Vepr AK rifles & shotguns, Yugo .308 AKs, etc.) or have either different capacity than what is currently available. They specialize in platforms that have restricted import numbers (like the Vepr-12 shotgun) so the current mags are pretty pricey or only come in 5rd or 10rd capacities. I have some Vepr-12 Shotgun 8rd mags that are $55 vs. $100 for a factory mag. They have really expanded on the Vepr line of rifles (other than .223 & 7.62x39mm) as the Russian import restriction has cut off the supply of magazine imports.

I believe that CSSpec makes a 30rd mag for the Yugo .308 AK that uses a mag similar to the M14. Many people use to modify M14 mags to work in the Yugo Ak .308 imported guns. It's so close to the M14 mag, they can offer a different capacity (30rds) than the usual M14 mag. They won't offer a 20rd one unless you want to pay the $55 they charge for it and order a batch of 100 mags (maybe 1000 mags).

I remember when CSSpec was just starting off. They specialized in Saiga 12ga & .308 mags. The mags were very well made, but were a little rough looking. The new stuff is worlds improved and is as nice as anything. They are definitely well built and worth the money.

Yeah back then it was impossible to find the Yugo(Mitchell Arms) .308 mags and when you did find them they were 100-200 each depending on the source. CSS really helped out with the supply but now they are importing new yugo/zastava .308 mags for their current .308 AK rifle that are being brought in.

 

Look what you guys did. You made me go take a closer look at these and seein as I have an E2, now I’m gonna have to give em a try. Bet they’d look good in an EBR too. 😎

 

I have just one, it is reliable.
I would like to purchase an E2 stock put my M1A tanker into and run the csspecs 30.

 

When you do, it will look vaguely like this...

but with a shorter pipe...

 

If they run like the poor mans BAR mags (30-06 Vepr mags) I got from them, they will be great. They are stout!

 

I'll shoot them a message and inquire if they would be willing to make a run of 20's if people are interested.

 

Here's a rough sketch.

 

I'll get better, maybe.

 

You know, if they prove to be reliable, even for a regular style M14 rifle guy if the M14 is your SHTF rifle, a couple 30s could be the last "Oh $hit" mags tucked away if ever needed. Something that doesn't get regular use.

Thank you for posting this.
Years ago I remember reading about these mags, but never got around to buying some.
And regretted that choice since then.
I realize they aren't "practical" for most things... but, I still wanted to try something different.
I bought 4 of them, and they are VERY well made. Sturdy and feed well. Finish is consistent throughout the mag.
Frankly, for the price, they are very well made.

It kind of amazes me how well made. Especially given the "one off" aspect.
I would like to know / see the production of them.

 

I was saving the website posted on these in my maybe file.
But after seeing all the good reviews I went ahead and ordered a couple.
another great thing is that they didn’t try to Jack up the freight. Up here in Alaska it’s a big factor on what companies I deal with.
these guys only charged $7.50!

 

These arrived fast! And they look great!
I really Want to do a range trip, but I’m not so sure about the -45 temps!

 

These are the best 30s in existence. Have several and love them!

 

Any issues with feeding at all?

 

I was hoping to give a range report on these myself, but it’s -45 here and with the price of Ammo I don’t really want to go to the range and just step outside and start shooting!
And steel shooting benches , and stools, suck in this kind of weather for any kind of accuracy🥶
Oh, not to mention, you can’t see more than 50 yards for the ice fog!
Edit: it just went to -50 at my house.

 

I found mine to feed extremely well, and although i dont recommend russian steel cased 308, it was the only magazine that would feed that stuff reliably for me.

 

Guys,

Just dug mine out and need to go test. It's been too long...

What happened with these mags? Got on to Csspecs website and there are no products listed in the M14 section!

 

I have a couple of these mags. Ran well in the form 10 PD full auto! I'm going to try them in a 3 gun match soon

 

I have a couple of these. Worked as advertised but not a daily need item. Go big or go home.

 

How much does this weight fully loaded?

 

A lot. Definitely puts the weight to the center.

 

I see they are back on their website. They had disappeared for a while. I bought a few over a year ago but never did shoot them. (A deployment got in the way) They looked to have a parkerized finish. It says on the website now that they are nitride finished. Even better if they are different than the old ones, nitride resists rust better. I may order a few more. You can never have too many mags.
