Does the Yugo M70B1 AK's take regular AK magazines?

Thanks, Nyman

They take all standard AK mags BUT if you get Yugo mags the bolt stays open after the last round is ejected.

Personally I can STAND mags that don't keep the bolt open, there's no way in hell anyone is going to keep track of 30 - 40 rounds to know you are out.

As stated any AK mag will work but Yugo mags do have the bolt hold open feature. Understand that the bolt is held open by the magazine so when you change magazines the bolt will close as soon as the mag is taken out. Seems crazy but I have had many people claim to have broken magazines because as soon as they release the magazine the bolt closes.

It takes some hand-motions, but with the bolt held open in regards to the Yugo mags, it doesn't take too much dexterity to hold the bolt back, swap mags and let it forward.

I have a M70AB2 underfolder and I've gotten quite good at mag swaps. It's a different line of thinking than the drop-swap AR's but not all that bad.
