Can this version of the classic AK accept standard military style 30 round mags?

Is this rifle at $550 a must get for a first AK?

I had an IO AK 5-6 years ago and wasn’t really impressed.

Maybe better than a Century, but not by much in my experience.

Rob Ski from AKOU did a review of IO AKs and it wasn't favorable. They responded and said he wasn't "fair in his review"
Here is a video:

Bottom line, I would avoid them

For the money, you're infinitely better off with a WASR or a Yugo NPAP. IO really should be strictly a no-go.

Thanks for warning me off.

I will be looking at other brands.
