First Chinese /66\ mag did have 5 horizontal ribs.
JD was right about that.
But no China stamp on floorplate.
Just the /66\ marking on the back bottom near spine.


From da interwebs....
China
The Chinese started production of the AK-47 in 1956. The earliest Chinese AK-47/Type 56 mag is generally referred to as the “Sino-Soviet Model” by collectors. The body is of the First European Ribbed Type and has a blued floorplate that is very similar to a number of Warsaw Pact types. The biggest difference is the use of a blued stepped-follower instead of the elongated oval bulge pattern follower found on European type mags. The body of the mag carries a black phosphate finish. A check of the bottom rear of the mag will almost always show a “66” in a triangle stamping that represents Factory 626 in the Hei Long Jing Province of China.

Whatcha think about this mag? Possible triangle 66 or is it just a Chinese baseplate?


Overpriced either way but I'm just curious.
Someone asked me on ODT about it, so I posted in that thread.
I think it is a mutt. 3 long horizontal ribs, so it is not a transitional or regular Chicom.
If it were a Sino-Soviet mag, it would not have the "made in China" floorplate.
And $100 for a Chinese mag??? It better have chrome followers and be pristine.
