WBP- 5.56/223 - Poly AK Mag - 30rds

These, now out of stock, are a THIRD the price of the FB Radom Beryl mags - the previous only mags I could purchase for my 5.56 Pioneer Arms AK. If you look at the feed lips, follower, mag-body, these are CLONES of the FB Radom / Beryl mags, except for texture, and for ONE tiny, almost imperceptible, thing that you can change in 1-minute to make these fit your Pioneer AK:

The back of the top of the WBP mags, aka the back of the feed lips, is squared off at the rear and the Pioneer and FB Radom mags are rounded off are angled-off at the top few millimeters - just ever so slightly so (aka the WBP have a 90 degree right angle, instead of a 45 angle, at top two to four millimeters of material - it's so small that it is practically imperceivable that the Beryl mags are angled/rounded off if at the very top of the back of the mag, as are the Pioneer: that back edge of the top of the mag body, aka the rear of the feed lips (however you wish to look at it) are slightly angled/rounded by a few millimeters - one is angled the other is rounded, I forget which.

The way found this is the impact mark.on the WBP mags when trying to insert them and playing around to see if anything would allow it to fit l. This left a few milmiters of impact marks where the mag was hitting the pin (presumably). This quickly let me realize the fix:

With less than 30 seconds of light use a of a long file, one can remove then less than a millimeter or so of material needed to round-off or angle the rear 90-degree angle of the rear of the WBP.l mag's the feed lips. With barely any filing it'll will pass the pin l, and with finr tuningbitnwilo that pin completely and fit the magwell perfectly.

So once you start the filing change is made, just keep going going (using a large enough file to hit both feed lips) and after a few times you'll get tonthe point where there is there is no resistance inserting the mag.

I wish could post pictures of how easy this is, and how minimal material was needed to be removed to make a perfect fit.

Now that I figured this out, (now thay they are out off stock of course), I now have (had) an option for affordable mags for my Pioneer Arms 5.56 AK (note: mine is a 2024 Forged Trunion series - so yours may have more or less pin-clearance). Some people had said that the WBP mags were to fat for the mag-well, that is no the case for mine, I should 9lhave trusted myself...

...I sincerely wish I would of trusted myself sooner when I saw WBP magazine's feed lips' shapes, follower design, base-plate design, and mag body design were are all almost 1-to-1 clones of the FB Radom / Beryl 5.56 mag (minus the grip texturing they added the mag body).

People said these didn't fit (darn them), but when I tried it, I could see within minutes where j7st the very top-rear of the feed lips were impacting the pin (presumably), and that it was just a matter of millimeters! The impwct-mark was at the top maybe 2 or 3 millimeters of the top-rear of the mag-body / feedlips. SomethingnI knew could fix in moments.

I grabbed a file and removed a little bit of material,l. And with fiest attempt, the mag fit, just not smoothly. With a couple more goes at it, the mag rocked and locked into place with zero resistance - doing so identically to the FB Radom and Pioneer mags. It also feeds and functions flawlessly (man I should have ordered more the instant figured this out). I would say these are better mags than the mags Pioneer makes (Pioneer's are hybrids of a Radom mag body and follower, but with Magpul-esque base plate; while the WBP mags are just whole-sale clones of the FB Radom mags with waffle texture added. All three thensamwnfeedlip design, wh8chnis most impoetant - with the slight difference of the WBP's rear of feed lip/mag not being slightly rounded orn angled).

Had I not listened to the internet, I wouldn't have wasted $35 per Beryl mag, and gotten these instead for $13 a mag. And I also wouldn't have wasted money on othr mags that clearly have different feed-lips from FB Radom, Pioneer, and WBP mags..

.. People on the web claimed the WBP wouldn't work, and that ProMag trash mags would work on the Pioneer 5.56 AK - but no amount of filing gave me acceptable results with the ProMags - and the only times I have had a singlr feeding or extraction issue was when I had used modified ProMag (I tried both the all polymer and the steel reinforced ones).

Please get these back in stock!

But now that I published this secret, I imagine they again will disappear quickly - just like Beryl firing pins did . Once I post a picture of how these are clones of the Beryl Fb Radom mag, except for a slight taper onn the rear back of the feed lips, I imagine these will go poof everywhere ( if they have not already from my posts on certain social media).

Note: I also found a non-pioneer, non-beryl fir8ng pin source to replace the Pioneer firing pin.

Work very well in my AK pistol.

Fit and function perfectly

Great product and shipping was fast. Love AOA but found the same magazine for $9.99 on other site. Overall AOA has great products, very awesome customer service and my place to go for all AK47 products and accessories.

Works top notch just as good as the green colored one

Worked

Worked

Very strong and solid, will buy more if available

Great mags that function perfect, 5 outta 5

Some of the best 5.56 AK magazines on the market. Fits Arsenal, WBP, FB Radom, Zastava and Romanian SAR-3. Quality product and AOA customer service is top notch.

It is built very well and very solid and fits very tight in Zastava m90 .. my only complaint is it does not have any steel reinforcement around the top of the mag or in the locking lugs

They fit really good but extremely tight in my 5.56 Zastava m90, my only complaint would be that they don't have any metal reinforcing the locking lugs for the magazine and any metal around the top of the feed lips
