Aight, well I got them to work, finally. Got rid of the interdiction tab, or most of it. Then had to grind a bit off the back of the feed lips, then had to grind down the mag lugs, then a tad bit from the back of the mag. Two of them fit pretty solid, but one is kinda wobbly and has a fair amount of play side to side, but I have no idea as to why. W/e. Definitely a huge PITA. Thought that was going to be way easier than it was, hah.

OK, so I took a closer look, and the mags are hitting the pin/bar/whateverthehellitis, so I ground down a bit of the feed lips, and that got it a little more in. However, it then got jammed on the mag lugs (i think), so I ground down those a bit, but then the tab came into play. At this point i feel like it would almost be better to just make mag mods instead of touching the gun, because even if I do grind down the tab, i'll still have to do a bunch of grinding on the mags to get them to work. SO, if i was to grind down the back side of the mag to clear the tab, is this going to screw up

Its very new, like 3ish months old. And as of right now i don't think the metal tab is the problem because the mag catch tab hasn't even got to the tab yet. Look at the pictures, that's as far as i can push it in before it jams, and won't go any further. Could this be caused from the mag lugs? Or is this just a problem of the mag catch tab being too long?

Wow, ok, thanks for the replys. So this is how far I can get the mag in until it stops, and I'm assuming its the rear locking lug (???) that is getting stuck on the mag release. This means that the lug needs to be filed down right? Or is there some other mysterious thing that is stopping the mag?

So before I put my dremel to my rifle (saiga .223 convert) to modify it to take Bulgarian Circle 10s, I want to make sure exactly what I need to do. I have a bunch of questions, lol. Oh ya, and yes, i'm putting in a bullet guide before/right after I do this. I'll number my questions to make them more easier to answer 1. All that is needed to make these mags fit is to grind down the tab in the mag well bit by bit until they slide in, correct? 2. If so, will the surefire and stock 10 round mags I have still fit? Will they be too loose, or just slightly loose but still usable? 3. W
