First impressions are not great - Global Ordnance AK47 7.62x39 30 Round Rifle Magazine

I bought a couple of these because 1) they are inexpensive, and 2) the Global Ordinance 40rd mag I have is buttery smooth in operation. These 30rd mags are not smooth. The followers SCREECH against the inner wall and have a tendency to get hung up when loading/unloading, needing to bang on the bottom to free up the movement. I lubricated and worked them a bit for minimal improvement, hopefully further break-in will help. These mags will be strictly for the range, they are not reliable out of the box unlike all the pmags I own.
