Chinese 20rd Mag military or police?

[Bulls-I_24]

Cant find much info on these....
Are these just Chinese commercial aftermarket mags or were they ever used
in the military or police force.
Im really big on not adding anything to my milsurps guns that are not historically accurate(repros are ok especially if it saves me some dough ).
But I think these are cool and would like to add one to my "56" . According to Yooper J the one I have was a police issue so if the Chinese police ever used these that would be even cooler.....

I found a cheap one so I bought it......
It says MADE IN CHINA on the bottom...........
I think I answered my own question........

They may have added the "made in China" later just for export reasons. They are about the only "high cap" SKS mag worth having, unless you find one of the factory made detachable mag versions- very scarce any more.

I don't know their history either but I picked one up at a gun shop. It is heavy duty stamped from fairly thick material. Doesn't look like cheap export junk.

Anyway, having swapped my Norinco for an Enfield No1MkIII, I set out to install it on a Yugo M59. I had to do some fitting and modification. Fortunately, I was able to do it all on the mag. Wasn't modifying my M59 for it. This was some time back so I forget the details but there was a problem with the follower. I wound up taking the follower from a spare Yugo mag. I then put it up for a time and have recently picked it back up. The spring appears to be just a little too weak. The follower will not quite lift the bolt stop high enough to catch the bolt. I did super clean that part and it moves very lightly and smoothly. If it won't lift that, I question whether it will feed reliably. I so doubt it I haven't bothered to try. I'm trying to figure how to solve the spring problem.
