Tap 30 AK-74

Product Description

The Tap 30 AK-74 is a magazine designed for AK-74 pattern rifles chambered in 5.45x39mm. This magazine fits the smaller 5.45 caliber platform, distinct from the 7.62x39mm magazines used in standard AKM rifles. It provides a reliable feeding option for shooters running AK-74 variants.

AK-74 magazines use a different body geometry than their 7.62x39mm counterparts. The feed lips and follower are shaped for the smaller diameter 5.45 round. Choosing the correct magazine for your caliber is essential for safe function.

AK-74 vs AKM Magazine Compatibility

AK-74 magazines are not interchangeable with 7.62x39mm AKM magazines. The magazine well on an AK-74 accepts only 5.45x39mm magazines due to differences in cartridge width and overall dimensions. Using the wrong magazine can cause feeding failures or unsafe conditions.

If you run multiple AK platforms, keep your 5.45 and 7.62 magazines separated and clearly marked. The two cartridges look similar at a glance but require different magazines.
