I was thinking, with Tapco going out of business, should we be buying up Tapco mags? Is this gonna be like another Chinese AK thing, or a Mosin Nagant thing? When they were plentiful and cheap nobody wanted them but when they were gone everyone wanted them and they were going for 3-4x what they were when they were around? I mean, Tapco mags aren't horrible, it's the rest of their shit that sucks and makes people embarrassed to own their mags.
Well, I got into the game well ahead of time - got 6 of the 20-rnd SKS bastards when they were $12 each. But I've always hated the fucking 'Duck Bill".
So now I can sell 'em for more than I paid and not cry over it at all!
WINNING!!!!
Side note - because I'm too cheap to buy a bunch of REAL bakelite mags, (only got 2), I DID buy a pair of Fakelite Orange Tapco mags for $20, used. Those things should be GTG for selling, or keeping, or whatever. The AK isn't my 'Go-To' gun anyway.
I had been considering polishing the plastic somehow to try making it look even more like Bakelite. But that's pretty low on the priority list.
