Zastava M91 7.62x54R 10-Round Steel Magazine

Description

This is the genuine factory magazine for the Zastava M91, engineered to handle the 7.62x54R cartridge with the same precision and durability the rifle demands. Built from heavy-gauge stamped steel with a black coated finish, it's purpose-built for feeding one of the most historically significant rimmed cartridges still in military and civilian use.

Steel BHO Follower Design

The magazine uses a steel bolt-hold-open follower paired with a high-quality heat-treated spring. When you fire the last round, the follower rises to hold the bolt open, giving you a clear mechanical signal to reload. This design has been proven in military service and translates directly to practical, no-nonsense functionality on the range or during field use. The follower is not interchangeable with SVD or PSL magazines despite similar appearances, so you'll want to keep your M91 mags with your M91.

Built for a Difficult Cartridge

The 7.62x54R is a rimmed round, which means it's pickier about magazine design than most modern cartridges. This magazine was engineered specifically to manage that rim interaction smoothly. Testing shows zero feeding issues with both surplus and modern ammunition, which is no small feat for a cartridge known to be finicky in lesser magazines. Whether you're running decades-old spam-can ammo or fresh commercial loads, this magazine feeds consistently.

Practical Specs for Field Work

With 10 rounds loaded, the magazine stays manageable for target practice, training, or hunting without adding unnecessary weight. The steel construction is straightforward and serviceable—you can disassemble it for cleaning if needed. At 0.5 pounds, it won't slow you down, and the aggressive ribbing on the surface gives positive handling for quick reloads.
