Circle 10 “Waffle Pattern” 30-round Magazine: As Good As it Gets

May 13, 2025 by Ara Leave a Comment

The reliability of the AK platform is well documented – it’s as failsafe a rifle as you’ll find on the market. This alone is why you should never settle for inferior magazines when it comes to your AK. Usher in Arsenal’s Circle 10 7.62x39mm Black Polymer 30 Round Magazine – MIL-SPEC AK47 Magazine.

Don’t Shortchange Your AK with Inferior Mags

A quality magazine is the most important accessory you can purchase for your rifle. It impacts your rifle’s reliability, safety, and performance.

The AK’s sterling reputation is undeniable, notorious for its ability to withstand the harshest environments. Whether it’s extreme heat, desert, or mud, the AK holds its own and then some. Hence, equipping a quality machine with a top-notch magazine only makes perfect sense.

The only AK magazine to pass 100% of military drop tests 100% of the time.

Imagine a pro golfer rocking awesome clubs yet inexplicably equipping them with subpar grips. A heuristic choice that undermines his/her performance just to cut corners. Such behavior defies common sense, yet some individuals choose this course of action.

SMH, personified, and even more incomprehensible in the firearm sector.

What to Look for in a Quality Magazine

Durability

First and foremost, a quality magazine should be durably constructed. Ideally, the magazine you choose is made from high-strength materials such as steel, aluminum, or reinforced polymer. Furthermore, you’ll want to hone in on a mag that’s resistant to corrosion.

Arsenal’s Circle 10 AK Mags check the boxes with ease.

They are made from high-strength black polymer with steel reinforcements, including steel feed lips, front and rear metal inserts, and a steel locking lug.

This design ensures exceptional durability and resistance to impact. Consequently, they won’t break off and leave you with a non-functioning gun. Furthermore, the polymer design makes it lightweight, an added bonus for any AK owner.

Reliability

A top-notch magazine needs to be reliable. Whatever situation you’re in, you never want your rifle to jam or misfire. Invest in well-constructed accessories that won’t let you down when you need them most.

A prudent axiom is honing in on military personnel.  Would Uncle Sam equip men and women of our military with inferior magazines, or would they go the extra mile and provide the finest accessories on the market?

The same principle applies to you. Instead of settling for an average magazine, go the extra mile and equip your rifle with the cream of the crop.

Feeds and Functions Properly

A poorly made magazine can cause misfeeds, double feeds, or failures to feed, all of which can jam your rifle and compromise its function. Having a gun that feeds and functions properly is a must. What do we mean when we say ‘feeds’?

 

Circle 10 Waffle Mag
There’s no better magazine on the market for your AK than Arsenal’s Circle 10 “Waffle Pattern” 7.62×39 Caliber 30-round mag.

In short, the rifle successfully takes a round from the magazine and loads it into the chamber when the action cycles. The goal is to have your rifle complete its full cycle of operation correctly – firing, extracting the spent casing, ejecting it, and then feeding the next round.

Consistent Spring Tension

A good magazine maintains proper tension in the follower spring, ensuring rounds are reliably pushed into the chamber.

Proper Fit and Lock-Up

Quality magazines are built to spec, so they fit your rifle snugly without wobbling or failing to lock into place.

Safety

Feeding failures or malfunctions due to bad magazines can be dangerous, particularly in high-pressure situations or when using high-powered ammunition.
