R4 mags on a Norinco 223?
A friend bought a Norinco AK copy in 223. He has received R4 mags as gifts but they don't fit. Is there a modification he can do, or another way to make them work?

I simply do not know. The only engravings I saw are "223 Remington" and "...China" but it most definitely looks and feels like an AK, although the AK's I have handled previously had a heavier and chunkier feel to them.Thanks Griffin, I appreciate the effort. I did not find anything with the search function.

Probably a Type101. I have heard the LM mags can be modified but can't confirm.

I must admit though he could probably sell the mags if in ok condition and buy AK101 mags in .223 Rem for around R350. I'm sure that's what I paid for my spares.

It is a Norinco and not an AK. Thus a Type 84?
