If you run an AK in 7.62×39 and want more trigger time between reloads, the Schmeisser S60 from American Tactical is a genuinely clever solution to the extended magazine problem. It holds 60 rounds instead of the standard 30, but it doesn't handle like a chunky quad-stack mag or require a drum that sticks out awkwardly. The secret is in the design.
American Tactical partnered with German manufacturer Schmeisser GmbH to bring this magazine to market, and it shows. The body is constructed from glass-reinforced polymer that resists impacts and environmental wear. You get a durable exterior that stays lightweight compared to all-steel alternatives, making it practical for longer range days. The matte black finish pairs well with any AK build, and the whole thing weighs just 0.65 pounds empty. Metal locking lugs handle the extra weight of a full magazine load without stripping.
What makes this magazine tick is the internal design. The patent-pending follower system allows Schmeisser to pack double the capacity without creating a magazine so unwieldy that you can't actually use it. A high-tensile steel spring maintains consistent pressure across the full load, and the smooth low-friction polymer follower reduces drag when feeding rounds into the chamber. Range testing shows it feeds reliably under rapid fire, and the follower design prevents binding even when fully loaded. The polished interior surfaces help rounds move through smoothly.
The magazine features transparent round count windows so you can see your ammo status at a glance without breaking down the mag. Aggressive exterior texturing gives you positive grip even with gloves or wet hands, making mag changes faster and more confident under pressure. At the same length as a standard 30-round magazine, it won't interfere with prone shooting or obstacle work. For guys who run drills, competitions, or just want to minimize time spent reloading, those extra 30 rounds add up quick.
Yes, the S60 is designed for standard AK-47 pattern rifles chambered in 7.62x39mm. It features metal locking lugs that secure into the standard AK magazine well. Fit is tight when new because of the polymer construction, but the magazine breaks in with use.
Loading is demanding with a full 60-round load due to the high spring tension built into the design. Using a magazine loader makes the task significantly easier and is recommended. Hand-loading is possible but requires patience, especially early on. The spring tension actually contributes to reliable feeding, so it's part of the engineering trade-off.
The Schmeisser S60 functions reliably in both semi and full-auto applications. The patent-pending follower system and high-tensile spring are engineered to handle the demands of sustained automatic fire, making it a versatile choice across the AK platform.
No special maintenance is needed beyond normal magazine care. The polished interior surfaces are already lubricated for smooth feeding. Disassembly is straightforward due to the simple design, but be aware that the spring has significant tension, so take care when removing the floor plate to avoid the spring ejecting unexpectedly.
