IWI Galil Ace Gen 2 Semi-automatic Rifle in 556NATO, 16" Barrel, Black Finish, Side Folding Stock, 1 Gen 3 PMAG, 30Rd - $1549.99 + FREE Caliber Matching Silencer after MIR

You'd love Berelis...ordered a couple boxes of ammo this spring and wondered why it took so long to ship. Checked their website and they close the week of Passover. Not sure why that surprised me so much..

Magtech Steel Case 9mm 115 Grain FMJ 1000 Rnd - $219 after code: GUNDEALS10 + FREE Shipping

This stuff will lock up both my Glock and ar9 on about a box. Because case does not expand it gunks up chamber. The chamber is open to the gases in.n the barrel
It works with rifle cartridges because the pressures are so much higher steel case expands for a seal.
Steel cases are also hard on extractors..
I know some guys that run it. It works in their guns.

Soviet Arms AK-V 9x19mm U9 35 Round Patterned Magazine, Black - $16.99

I think these are rock n lock ak style. Rock n locks have been outfitted to some 15s but a buttload of metal is removed. It's not a plug and play thing. The front lip of a rock n lock inserts into a slot underneath the feed ramps of a ak . There is no upper or lower. No room on a ar15 upper for that slot. Has to go into lower. Most of the lower mag well has to be cut away for rock n locks. People have done it but it ain't anything easy and the Lower looks like a cutaway or something.
