This listing is for one authentic Russian Izhmash (Izhevsk) 30-round Bakelite magazine chambered for the 7.62×39mm cartridge. Buyers will receive either a Ridgeback or Flatback version, selected at random, with a dot following the mold number. These are military surplus magazines rated in Good to Very Good condition under NRA standards and will show typical signs of use and handling. Some magazines may feature steel-reinforced feed lips, while others may not, and no specific variation can be guaranteed.

Developed in the mid-1960s at Izhevsk, the so-called Russian “Bakelite” magazines—officially designated AG-4S—were made for the AKM and later AK-74 rifles. Despite the nickname, they are not true Bakelite but a glass-fiber-reinforced phenol-formaldehyde composite, molded in two halves and epoxied together with steel reinforcements at key stress points. Their distinctive marbled orange-brown or reddish hue came naturally from the manufacturing process. These magazines were designed to solve corrosion and weight issues found in steel versions, offering a lighter, rust-proof, and surprisingly durable alternative despite their reputation for brittleness.
