VFC AVS-74U Gas Magazine — 42rds

The interesting number here is 107cc. That is the gas volume behind the rounds, and on a short-barrelled AK that runs a lot of gas per shot it is the figure that decides how far you get before the magazine goes flat.

Finish is an imitation plum, the maroon-brown polymer colour the Soviet-era AKS-74U magazines were made in. It is a cosmetic choice but a correct one, and it looks considerably better on the rifle than black does.

Forty-two rounds, cut for the VFC AVS-74U. VFC give the capacity, the reservoir volume and the finish, and leave the weight alone.

Good to know before you buy

The large reservoir is the reason to choose this one. A bigger gas volume means more shots per fill and a smaller pressure drop as you work through the magazine.

Plum is a finish rather than a material change. If you are mixing it with black magazines they will all work the same, they just will not match.

Frequently asked questions

Will it fit the full-length AK74M?
That rifle takes its own magazine, which we list separately. Match the magazine to the rifle.

Is plum a polymer or a coating?
It is described as an imitation plum colour finish without the method being broken out.

What does 107cc actually buy me?
More shots between fills than a standard reservoir, and a flatter velocity curve as the magazine empties.

What does it weigh?
No weight is given for this magazine.
