They are pricey for AK mags, but then again it's K-VAR of course. They are a monopoly; they have cornered the market since Chief Thunder got set up and sent away several years ago
Chief thunder is back and posting on gunsnet. he has bulgarian 5.56 waffles for $14 each, and he also has some polish 5.56 beryl mags listed for sale.
Also Cope's has bulgarian waffle mags in 5.56. dpharms has the clear 5.56 bulgarian mags IIRC.
As for the 223 ak - the norinco's are nice - and the price for a MAK90 or NHM90 in 223 isn't to bad. Preban Norinco's cost more, and well....Polytech's are a different story.
The SAR-3's are good guns - some have had issues, some haven't. I guess I got lucky as I haven't had any issues with mine yet.
Bulgarian waffle mags will work fine in a Norinco without any mods, and they work in my SAR-3 but fit tight. The yugo M90/M95's can use bulgarian waffle mags too.
Last year on gunbroker there was a 223 AK (norinco IIRC) for sale that used AR mags. It looks like a galil adapter was put in permanently (or at least it didn't look like it could be removed in the picture).
Here are some pics of a couple of my 223 AK's.
my NHM90 - put back the way it should be.

And my lowly SAR-3
