The Arsenal M74N magazine delivers reliable feeding for AK-74 pattern rifles chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO. This Bulgarian-manufactured magazine combines traditional AK reliability with modern polymer construction for consistent performance across diverse shooting conditions.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard steel magazines, the Arsenal M74N features reinforced polymer construction that reduces weight by 40% while maintaining the structural integrity required for rapid fire sequences. The magazine body incorporates steel feed lips and reinforcement inserts at critical stress points. Bulgarian manufacturing standards ensure dimensional consistency with original military specifications.
Key Features
- 30-round capacity with anti-tilt follower design
- Black polymer body with steel reinforced feed lips
- Compatible with Arsenal M-74N and similar AK-74 platforms
- Chambered specifically for 5.56x45mm NATO ammunition
- Bulgarian military contractor manufacturing
- Textured grip panels for secure handling
- Steel floor plate with lanyard loop
Field testing demonstrates consistent feeding through 1,000+ round cycles without failure-to-feed incidents. The polymer construction resists impact damage that can dent steel magazines, while the reinforced feed lips maintain proper cartridge presentation angle. Temperature cycling from -20°F to 140°F shows no dimensional changes affecting function. The magazine locks securely into battery without excessive force while releasing cleanly during tactical reloads.
