    dumb AK Mag question

    I have a used/damaged ak 30rd steel mag. lips are bent badly and renders mag useless, but spring/follower/baseplate are all good.

    Are the good parts worth selling or should I just throw everything away?

    Parts arent worth anything more than a few bucks if you can find someone to buy them. Takes a lot to ruin beyond use an AK mag.
    Cant bend back the body? You can buy bodies cheap.

    I wouldn't throw anything away

      FWIW: if it's a 5.45 mag, I could use a spring. Otherwise, what Bansh said.

        Ditto ^

        Keep everything. Someone can repair it.

          Left feed lip is fine. right feed lip is bent downwards towards the back. I'm not good with metals and don't want to mess with it. It's 7.62x39.

            I wouldn't throw it away. You might as well try to bend it back.
            If you do decide to throw it away, please let me know where I can find the trash can you throw it in. I'd be happy to find it.

                Since we can't sell rebuild kits, my only option is to sell parts separately. Correct?

                            No way use that mag as a vise block. Now you can stick ur AK in the vise and work on it.

                              And is an infraction vs a felony. Big difference.
