Chinese Norinco AK-47 Bakelite 7.62×39 30-Round Magazine – Triangle 66, Excellent Condition
This is an original Chinese Norinco AK-47 30-round magazine chambered in 7.62×39, manufactured at Factory 66, identified by the triangle “66” arsenal mark. These magazines were produced for the People’s Liberation Army and for export, and are widely regarded for their durability and consistent feeding characteristics.
Constructed from phenolic resin (“Bakelite”), the magazine exhibits the characteristic reddish-brown marbled coloration associated with Chinese production. Unlike steel magazines, Chinese bakelite examples are lighter in weight while still providing excellent strength and resistance to corrosion.
This example is in excellent condition, with strong color, well-defined mold lines, and no cracks or structural damage. The feed lips, locking lugs, and spine show minimal wear, indicating limited use.
Chinese Triangle 66 bakelite magazines are increasingly difficult to source, particularly in high-grade condition, and are highly sought after for Chinese AK variants, Type 56 rifles, and advanced AK magazine collections.
A genuine and desirable Norinco AK magazine, valued for its factory marking, classic bakelite construction, and excellent overall condition.
