So what does this magazine belong with?

[SpyderByte]

Hi all. I had a box of parts someone gave me to go thru and most of it was truly junk with a couple handgun parts and broken toy gun stuff, and some loose ammo.

But I have two questions:
1) what would this magazine likely belong with? Can't find any obvious markings either. Any other pics or dimension needed to help out, just let me know.
2) the loose ammo had some motor oil that spilled in to the junk box and got all over it...does that ruin 9mm ammo? Only a dozen rounds, but it feels like "throwing" away money these days if I just leave it at the range.

Thx.

Respectfully not sure if serious but It appears to be an AK pattern type magazine Theres tons of makes. Could be a variety of manufacturers. AFA ammo. I'd pitch it. No telling how long its sit in the oil and if its seeped into the the case compromising the powder

Thanks.

1) Never handled an AK and only had an AR style for just long enough to mod it and then realize I can't hold a rifle anymore due to shoulder surgeries and recent additional injury. I was just curious if it looked old enough/right type somebody would want before I toss it out.
2) thanks for confirming on the ammo...I figured as much, but other than buying in a box and shooting the stuff I know little else (other than I keep mine in safe, dry, ammo box.)

It looks like a single stack ak 47 I think that was an attempt to import ak’s during the 94-04 assault weapons ban, you could leave it as is (a single stack) or some gunsmiths would modify the receiver to take standard ak mags, but notice the narrow rib on the front? That was a feature on those mags

By the hard to see markings on the feed lips it appear it could be a Russian AK mag.

I would second this. There is a possibility it has worked its way in around the primer and could compromise that, also. Anything that compromises the powder's performance can lead to unpredictable pressure spikes

It bothers me to see magazines and even firearms in that condition. A light coat of oil and proper storage will prevent that.

Not faulting the OP in any way as it was given to him in that condition.

Sadly a lot of people treat their Guns and accessories like their lawnmower. I've seen a few show up to a basic pistol class (or worse gave it to their spouse to struggle with).

A gun.

A gun.

I guess that's why you have the Master designation...lol

It was actually in a box of crap that a drug dealer had and my friend was helping the homeowner clean stuff out and this was left after the police took everything of possible criminal relatedness. You should've seen the leftover grip/partial slide mechanisms of a couple destroyed handguns that were left over too...they're being scrapped/recycled.

This was the fist time I had seen parts in such disrepair and disregard...but it was left over stuff after the drug dealer went to jail and the homeowner got their house back.

Edited...now gone to a good home.

BTW, I have it posted for free in the classifieds and somebody is picking it up tonight. Thanks for the info.
