Bosnian Army AK74 Magazine - 45 Round

Bosnian Issue 45-Rounder

This is a 45-round AK-74 pattern magazine in 5.45x39mm, issued to the Bosnian Army. The extra length over a standard 30-round magazine is the capacity associated with the RPK-74 light machine gun, so you reload less often on the range or in a training course. AK-74 owners, Eastern Bloc collectors and anyone building a correct Bosnian or Yugoslav-era kit will want one.

Features

• 45-Round Capacity — The long curved body holds 45 cartridges, half again what a standard AK-74 magazine carries.
• 5.45x39mm Chambering — The calibre is molded into the upper body beside a cartridge outline, so it is easy to tell apart from 7.62x39mm AK magazines at a glance.
• Black Polymer Body — The shell is molded polymer, which keeps weight down on a magazine this long and will not rust.
• Witness Window — A clear strip down the side lets you see the cartridges inside, so you can check your load without stripping rounds out.
• Round-Count Markings — Numbers at 18, 25, 30, 35, 40 and 45 sit beside the window, telling you roughly how many rounds remain.
• Reinforcing Ribs — A raised grid of ribs wraps the body to stiffen the walls and give a firmer grip during reloads.
• Metal-Lined Locking Lugs — Metal at the front and rear lugs takes the wear where the magazine hooks into the rifle and seats against the magazine catch.
• AK-74 Pattern Fit — The rock-in design hooks at the front and rocks back to lock, the same way as other AK-74 pattern magazines.
• Removable Floorplate — The base plate slides off for cleaning the spring and follower inside.

Genuine Army Issue

This magazine came from Bosnian Army stores. It is original government-issue equipment, not a commercial copy. It fits rifles built to the AK-74 pattern in 5.45x39mm, and its provenance appeals to collectors and reenactors who want issued kit in their setup. Check fit on your own rifle, since some commercial receivers vary in magazine well tolerances.
