I have an AK related illness....

Developed by the Soviets but never used and picked up by the North Koreans, is the helical magazine. Not a new design as it was invented during the black powder period and even used in modern times in a 9mm pistol type design.

This helicul is thougt to hold around 120 cartridges of the 5,45x39 cal, no need to carry the old AK magazine vest either!

I really would doubt many of these magazine got out of North Korea but sure would make a choice collectors itemAttachment 130396

remember the Calico pistol, carbine, and SMG 9mms. They have 50 and 100 round helli cal drum mags. VERY heavy. Can you imagine 120 of AK ammo in a mag? Like strapping three 40 round RPK mags to your AK.

VERY heavy

Yes, and from what I understood the helical mags only worked partially, not that well?
