Ak Comp MAG Review
Works as intended. Inserting the mag and getting it to rock and lock was pretty stiff. I had to slap in place to get the lock lugs on the magazine to lock into the magwell. Other than that it works.
The AK-47 CompMag.

NEW YORK COMPLIANCE:
It does not, by itself, make your firearm New York Compliant. For N.Y. compliance you must either epoxy over the screw once the CompMag is installed or use another N.Y. locking device. For information on New York Compliance please read "Is the CompMag N.Y. Safe act compliant" at AR-15 CompMag Information.
COMPATIBILITY.
Compatible with AK-47 and AKM firearms that accept a double stacked magazine.
For Milled Receivers you must purchase the additional AK-47 Milled Receiver Locking Plate.
Compatible with 7.62x39 Ammunition.
Compatible with the Galil ACE (you will need the milled locking plate).
Compatible with Palmetto State Armory KS-47 and Billet Rifle Systems BRS-47 lowers, but you must flatten out the locking plate to allow the upper receiver to close. You can do this easily by tapping the plate on a flat surface with a hammer or by squeezing the plate in a vise.
With some VEPR and SAIGA models a trunion bullet guide may need to be installed to accept standard AK-47 magazines.

Thank you.
As we, and our Attorneys, understand it, this product falls within the laws as written. At this point it has not been endorsed or approved by any law enforcement agency or regulatory body within the United States, due to their reluctance to endorse any compliance products. Once contacted, the D.O.J. told us that they would not endorse any compliance products and that we should seek the advice of a qualified firearms attorney.
We then had our firearms attorneys research the topic of California compliance thoroughly and their professional opinion is that the CompMag would be deemed a fixed magazine in accordance with California Law. Letters from them can be found on our home page under "Recent Posts".
Even though we have had our Firearms Attorneys approve this product as a fixed magazine according to California law, your situation may be different. For example, putting a CompMag on a banned AR-15 or a short barreled rifle (SBR) will not make it compliant. Know your local/state laws and regulations prior to purchasing this product.

It's the only thing that meets the need. Rounds go sideways and it's a deag. Would be nice to be able to load it with stripper clips. Please go back to the drawing board.
worked great
Good mag works great but New York sucks
I had ordered several mags from Compmag. One of the mags was missing a part. I contacted Compmag and they sent to me the missing part, as well as other extra parts within a couple of days without charge. Superb customer services! Thank you Compmag!
I purchased the AR Compmag and loved it SO much that I purchased the AK version even BEFORE I purchased my AK. It is very easy to load and has NO feed problems!
Works great. Easy installation. A little pricey but worth it. I WISH THEY MADE ONE FOR THE VEPR12.
Works great. Easy installation. A little pricey but worth it. I WISH THEY MADE INE FOE THE VEPR12.
Absolutely perfect! Fit great runs great!!! Wish I didn't have to run it but at least it keeps my features there so I can properly use the weapon!
This is my 3rd AK with a Compmag, I get AK-47s into my FFL and use compmag to make them New York Legal with the single use epoxy solution offered on compmag.net. I am extremely happy with them so far. Loading it is a bit tricky at first, but once you are used to it these are perfect and allow you to keep all the standard features of an AK-47. Will continue doing business with this product for the foreseeable future.
I've used the AK-47 comp mag on 3 separate rifles at this point. Excellent solution. Loading this product takes a little getting used to, but works well once you get it down
As a resident of New York, I was searching for a product that would allow me to make use of all of my AK47's features as intended by the manufacture. CompMag is a terrific concept product that turns a featureless rifle into a full use one. Installation was easy and was done in a matter of minutes to successfully complete. Once installed, I put CompMag and my AK47 to the test this past weekend. Loading the ComMag seems easy enough, however, unless I was holding the rifle at a certain upright and slightly angled back position, there was a tendency for the rounds to flip in a vertical position and this does take a some amount of work and effort to free the offending rounds and start again. After some trial and error, I was able to get a "feel" for round insertion/ placement, where each successive round loaded, would not flip vertically. With loading completed, the rifle cycled normally, without any issues. If the design team at CompMag is able to troubleshot the tendency for rounds to flip up, this product is deserving a 5 STAR rating. I would recommend new users of CompMag, before installation, thoroughly practice loading cap rounds to avoid any delays when getting to the range. I would also recommend not installing the spring device as it did create a situation where the extractor failed. Removing it fixed this problem. I fired 75 rounds without incident. Overall, I am fairly well satisficed with this product, but further engineering is required to limit the round loading issues .
All three of my comp mags I have bought work perfectly I have not had any issues with them at all I love it.
Customer service is top notch, excellent and reliable product. Easy intsall and use, a really easy solution. A+++
If you live in a state with strict gun laws like I do this compmag is great. Instalation is really simple. And out on the range it works very well. Loading this is no problem at all. I have shot well over 500 rounds using the compmag and no issues at all. So if you live in a strict gun law state like I do .ie. NY. I highly recommend this option. Thank you
Fits great . As a patriot stuck in commifornia behind enemy lines it's a great problem solver, the sure way to private party transfer a off roster tool from a Leo who isn't subject to draconian tyrannical and unconstitutional laws.
Good product to keep your firearms legal.
Absolutely amazing quality, fast shipping
Works nicely, I just have to remember to release the follower. It loads easily, and is easy to install. Very happy with it.
All mounting hardware included in the box, incredibly easy install, and allows me to keep my pistolgrip and other features for my AK. Mag feels durable and it has run with no malfunctions to date with several hundred rounds in a few weeks of use. Ran old surplus, Red army, Tul-Ammo and FMJ/hollow points alike with no feed issues.
I am very happy with my nycompmag fits very well, like it was made for it. thankx again
Great sellers highly recommend
I have 2 compmags for my AR-15 and AK-47 and I love the quality and ease of use of the product. The videos posted by them are exactly what to expect. They are extremely easy to use and I would highly recommend!
This product when it came it was way more solid than I was expecting very very sturdy product I'm very very happy with this. being a New Yorker and able to have all my features on my AK is amazing thank you so much for this product
Works well on cmmg mk47.
Great innovation to allow us to get AK's back on the shelf in states with strict gun laws. Thanks for looking out for the law abiding citizens. construction is very good, strong spring and side door slides easily and stays closed while firing. A bit pricey.
This product is exactly what I expected, amazing. I will never go with another compliant system. Works great and feels great. Recommend this to all!
Very easy to install, works perfect, very fast shipping, best magazine i got for making my RPK CA complaint oh yeah and it fits on an RPKs not just AK47 or the others guns listed in their site
Ended up selling my AK to a NY resident and CompMag was able to make the deal complete.
mag looks good. install is easy and quick. for people in california who are slowly having there gun rights taken away this is the best solution (as of today) for a ak47 a must have. way better then that fin grip thing.
I work at a gun shop we install these in every ak we sell as well as have a comp mag in my personal ak never had any issues installing or with operation of the comp mag so if you live i a communist state like ny, ca and dont want to mutilate your rifle this is the way to go
Beautiful in the Pictures, Nice CNC Machined part out of the box. I Have a NEW , Made in China AK-47 that I Inherited from My Uncle. The LOWER half of this bedded to My Barrel Nicely, after I narrowed the Tab of the Rail that overlaps the bottom of the receiver. Then it was TOO LONG to allow the Front Retainer / Locking Plate to reinstall ? So I Groved it with My Dremel untell I could get it, [ The Retainer Cap ] installed in the factory position, locking the front end in place. [Wished I Had access to a Mill. Grove Aprox. 1/16in. deep in a U-Shape.] The top half was a LOT MORE work to get the contours to match up and STOP loading the Exhaust tube in such a manner that it would BIND DOWN on the Bolt when installing to the bottom half. [This was sa-viear, and locked the rearward movement of the bolt.] Again Here I employed My Dremel with a Sanding Drum to progressively remove the high spots until it screwed together tightly and didn't Lockdown the action of the bolt. [ I would assemble using hand pressure to press the lower and top together. Then slide it forward and rear in the 3/16in play available. look for the aluminum high spots. sand that area with My Dremel, Blackout the area with a sharpie. Reassemble and do again. ] NOTE: Nothing Really Worthwhile, is Cheap or Easy !!
Was Excited to find Your add, in CRPA's Magazine. I inherited a "Never Fired" AK from My Uncle. Came with a 5 round mag, Wooden Thumb-Hole stock, and nothing else. Due to California's Ban on these guns, I was unable to obtain an AK Mag of any capacity. [For all purposes My gun was Non-Legal at that time.] Your 10 Round Fixed Mag installed as described in the text and shown in the Video. [Why is the AK Video in the AR-15 Aera ???] The "Pamphlet" Shows a picture of the Optional Spring that is supplied, But does NOT discuss it's installation or purpose as is done in the Video ? [Why this Omission in the written information, But yet there's a picture of it !?!]
This is an excellent CA compliant item.
just what i've been waiting for. helped me with the sale for an ank, kept the look original no weird grip fins, etc thanks!
Great product and highly recommended.
Best fixed mag solution for AK to get around NY and CA tyranny.
Great option to keep your loved AK47 out of Assault weapon registration. The quality is good and it is easy to install.
Used in Sig 556R Had to grind off cosmetic features on Compmag to allow it to seat deep enough into the mag well. Otherwise, functions perfectly. Fixed mag feature allowed removal of the hideous fin grip
Works great, just like the one for my AR. Now if I could get one for my Mini 14...
I was planning to install this and shoot at the range later to find out I need a miller locking plate. Don’t forget to buy one if you have a milled AK. Should be part of the kit.
I bought two of these. One at the San Bernardino gun show and another through the internet from the company. One was for an AK pistol and the other was for my WASR 10. They performed flawlessly at the Lytle Creek gun range. Only one thing is you have to be careful when putting the first few rounds in the mag. If the turn vertical you will have a Hell of a time getting them back in the right position. Easy enough to remove the floor plate of the mag to do this, but it's a hassle. Other than that thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Others at the range all wanted to shoot the AK pistol. Not could have taken it out here in California without the Compmag on the gun.
These are great products and make shooting fun again, despite the rediculos NY SAFE Act.
A great way to make your AK-47 legal in California! Make sure when you are buying the AK-47 CompMag, specify if it a stamp receiver or a milled receiver because the locking pin are different.
This is actually my 2nd always comp mag, my buddy and I run them. They are the best solution for my communist state I sadly live in.
Solid product! As I like to keep my features on my Rifle this is the perfect solution also happy with the AR model. Is there going to be an AR compmag for 7.62x39 in the near future?
I bought this magazine primarily because my AK is a range toy and I wanted to keep my features and fun. Initially I had some issues, because there is definitely a learning curve to loading it, but once I figured it out it wasn't an issue at all. I also like that it maintains the look of a 30 round magazine (if you don't look too closely!) and because of it my rifle doesn't look California-fied, which turns heads at the range. Because of the loading method and time, I strongly suggest you do NOT use this if your AK is something you might need to use in a home invasion or other such situation. That being said, I have since recommended this magazine to many people due to relative ease of use and the ability to keep my standard AKM parts on my rifle.
Easily installed on my Romy-G AK. Easy to load, and fired flawlessly through 100 rounds. Satisfied with my purchase, and my AK looks so much better with all those “scary features” that the “fun police” frown upon.
The New AK47 CompMag is an outstanding product. Not only can you see the excellent product quality and robust construction but the magazine fitting into the magazine well is outstanding. I have three different AK manufactures and in all three the magazine not only fits snugly but there are no feed issues when at the range. The folks at CompMag have excellent customer service and fast shipping. Thanks Luis
This is a very well made magazine, solid and works reliably. The loading of it is a little tedious, though as a fixed magazine it does the trick. I keep thinking that we need to have a slightly different approach to creating various fixed magazine approaches, perhaps using a “clip” like device where the magazine becomes fixed but one can somehow insert a passive clip and then have the clip pop out when the same lever currently used to bring the follower to the bottom pops out the clip. Then one can preload a bunch of passive clips and change them as fast as any magazines that are not fixed. I realize this is the result of moronic laws, but maybe it’s time to go to the Garand style solution to get around stupid laws.
The new AK COMPMAG is a masterpiece. The product is very well designed and robust and will hold up to heavy use. I am buying 2 more for my other AKs along with a couple more tried and tested AR15 Compmags. Outstanding customer service, fast shipping, product quality and commitment satisfaction.
Once I saw the new laws come out about the bullet button ban, I saw my rifle getting butched and tucked away in the safe never to be used again. But then I saw this gem of a product and saw I can keep all my features and ability to keep the pistol on forward grip on my ak I was sold. Also bought two Ar 15 comp mags as well. Now they just need an AR 10 version of this and my dreams are all set.
As soon as I heard you guys were making one for the AK platform I anxiously followed your site as the process started to when it was ready for sale. It is such a well thought of and well designed magazine! I love the fact that you took your time to work the bugs out before releasing it for sale. I like the added spring at the top. It was obviously something that was seen as a issue and resolved before just throwing it out there. That is what makes a good company a great company. You knew you could have released it sooner and made more money but you guys were committed to giving us the best product you can. I thank you for that. I’ve used mine and it has worked flawlessly. The construction is as well built at the AR-15 version. All in all the total construction on both the versions are very rugged and strong. It’s not a flimsy piece of plastic that will need to be replaced in a short time. Like anything else if you take care of it then it will last and this will certainly hold up! So glad you guys took the time, effort, money, and resources to help many of us deal with the nonsense some of the liberal states put us through. It’s such a awesome design that I’m surprised someone didn’t think of it sooner. Now that I have my first one on one of my AK’s I will be ordering more for my other rifles. Thanx again for such a great product, your commitment to only giving us the best design you can, and for putting your ideas into action. You have a new loyal customer and I will certainly send more your way!
