Matrix 170rd Polymer Mid-Cap Magazine for AK Series Airsoft AEG Rifles

32 Customer Reviews

"Ok so I got these about a week ago and to tell you the truth i was a bit worried that they might not fit my Echo 1 AK700. Upon their arrival I took them out of their packaging, a plastic zip-lock baggy, and replaced my usual banana mag with one. Not only did it fit, but it was perfect for the rifle. Tossing in a few BB's and a battery i set off to my make shift firing range and began putting rounds down 'range'. Again, the magazines fed perfectly, and had no issues what so ever. If you have an AK or AK variant for your AEG, these are a must have. They fit in M4 mag pouches and their slight transparency allows you to check and see how many rounds you have left... not to mention make your rifle just look outstanding.

Pros
+ Feed Perfectly
+ Light weight
+ Fit any AK (from what I know could be wrong of course)
+ Made of Strong Polymer
+ Semi Transparent
+ Upgrade able (you can put ranger plates on these)
+ Fit in M4 Magazine Pouches

Cons
- The Price (but even that I personally find not to be a problem)

"This mag is perfect! it looks good, has a good solid feel, and its feeding is great. I use this for my Echo1 AK74 and it looks BEAUTIFUL. This is by far, the best mag I have ever used! (inculding AUG nd M4 style mags)

"Bought a test mag to see how it worked in my CYMA AK105 (CM 031D). Fantastic! They feed beautifully, they are clear so you can see the ammo level and there is absolutely no wobble! (unlike the stock hi-cap mag that shipped with the gun) Am planning to buy more to complete mid-cap AK loadout.

"i bought one for my Beta Project AK and it works flawlessly! i love this mag and i cant wait to buy more!

"I bought 3 of these for my stock CM047c and I was very impressed. I also own the real steel version of this magazine and it's a very close replica. They feed perfectly for me and they look sexy. Just like Arsenal AKs _3. Anyway, these feel great and fit well in my M4 mag pouches, surprisingly. Great capacity as well. Just don't slap these in too hard, they make break after some use, just like the real steel ones before they got the metal lip on them. (These have the plastic lip) I love these mags!!

"Performs flawlessly out of the box and I didn't need to lube it or anything. (I think you should just to make sure, I did after testing). I ordered 3 and they're a perfect fit in an Echo1 Tactical AK. A big plus is that you can see how many rounds you have left to assist in timely reloading. Also, the construction of these mags are quite solid, no squeaky sounds or loose feel. Overall a cheap and worthy alternative to the magpul versions which are about $10 more. Thanks to Evike for finding some awesome mags! Will be getting a LOT more soon

"Fits great but.... i have to hold it back towards the gun.. but besides that, its a great mag.
by Rebecca H. on 01/31/2015
"Pretty decent mags. Fit well in pretty much any pouch (being patterned from 5.56 mm AK mags, they have about the same curvature as M4 PMAGs). Feed well, only had minor feeding issues with one out of five. You gotta be careful about banging the front catch lip on the magwell when you're pulling them out of your gun. If you hit that lip too hard it'll snap off. They hold a heck of a lot of ammo and you can see how much you have left, which is nice. They fit snugly in both my CYMA CM045 and my CYMA CM039.

"Great mags for the price. They fit and feed in all my aks (CYMA and the Echo 1 OCW). They are cheap and hold plenty of BB's, the mags are transparent enough to see how many are left before you need to reload. However, they did not feed in my Element Red Hop Up Unit. The biggest problem is that the plastic lip that hooks into the magwell can be easily broken. I have already lost one mag due to this, once it breaks the mag will not lock in properly. Hopefully the makers can reinforce these with a metal or thick plastic. Despite this these mags are an amazing value and feed amazingly. I recommend this product to anyone looking for mag that doesn't look like the traditional 74' magazine.

"Excellent mags and I love them, except for the front lip breaking extremely easily. I broke mine doing a regular reload in game. I did have the older mag from like pre 2016, so perhaps they've changed it since then. But be warned!

"Work well in my Arcturus AK after some Dremel work to the back locking lug, however these mags do have the issue of the front locking lug cracking and breaking off, but if handled with some care, these mags are outstanding
by Travis P. on 02/11/2022
"Really nice looking mags wouldn't keep up on a cyma 104/105 @32 rps , I replaced the factory two piece system with maple supply springs and they run great now
by Esau P. on 04/21/2021
"I got 7 of these & I've used them for about 4 normal length games now. Here's my findings;

PROS:

- Capacity; You don't generally see ak midcaps that go over 120-150. Having 170 is extremely beneficial and nice

- Spring Strength; The springs in the magazine are very strong, but not too strong. I was able to load in all 170 (probably even more honestly) on my first fill.

- Aesthetics; It looks super nice on any AK. These are replicas of circle 10's 5.56 AK magazines, and they did a pretty nice job replicating them. These mags definitely will make your AK stand out

- Transparent Body; The transparent body allows you to quickly see how many bbs are left in a mag. This has probably saved me more than a few times. Just knowing that you can check your mag to see how many shots you have left is really, really, really nice.

CONS:

- Durability; This is the only con I can think of, but it's a really big one. The material the mags are made of is not very durable at all. I have broken 3 of these magazines.. The front lug snaps very easily, rendering the magazine useless. They broke very easily too. This fatal flaw takes this from 5 stars to 3. I will be looking into ways to reinforce the front lugs on the magazines in order to prevent them from snapping. Hopefully Matrix will look into this?

"Using these in a CYMA AKS-74UN RAS with a Polarstar Jack installed.

It is pretty obvious these are a direct copy of the PTS PMAGs at nearly half the price.

You get what you pay for. They are solidly built yet light, click in and don't wobble. But the springs on the inside are very hit or miss, some feed great, others struggle to even get the last 50 rounds or so out.

If $8 difference is too much to guarantee you get great feeding mags then these are a fine choice as the external build quality is pretty close. I will however be avoiding the headache and buying the PTS ones from now on.
by Garrett H. on 10/30/2016
"These mags are pretty good minus the build quality. I bought 4 of them and 3/4 of them had the front lip snap of preventing it from locking into the gun anymore due to the cheap plastic and no front lip reinforcement. On a higher note, the do fit very nicley into my cyma ak74u and feed pretty decent considering they have a pretty high capacity for micap. One other neat feature is since they are clear you can see when the mags are full instead of having to guess.

Pros:
feed well
fit well
clear body lets you see your round count

cons:
made of pretty weak plastic
no reinforcement on front lip
