The mag is Korean.
The gun unfortunately didn't come with an original Yugo B.H.O. mag, just a Tapco, and Korean.
While South Korean mags aren't exactly the most favorable steel magazine choice, they were are on clearance for $6 a piece so I stocked up.

Now you need a correct color Grip and it will look even better....

The original grip in the first pic is the correct type & color.  The mag looks to be a grey Korean though. :)

The Century M70AB2's are very good kit built AK's.

To me its just funky when forearms are wood color and grip is black..

About every AK built after 1965 and a few after into the 1970's have a black or Amber or maroon bakelite type grip.  Regardless of the other furniture type. :)
Some Hungarian AKMs continued with the wood 'I' grip after that date/time.

Experience is the hardest kind of teacher, it gives the test 1st and the lesson after.

Courage is knowing it may hurt and doing it anyway.
Stupidity is the same.
This is why life is so hard.

I don't think Matt at Ironwood is a Russian nor a Soviet military contractor. :)

Nice score there.  An U/F is on my bucket list, but local shops want about double what you paid right now.  Ordering off the web is out of the question, as I have another poker in the fire right now on a local deal.
