  1. In my case, the dinzag guide / renegadebuck adapter seems to work well together. the leading edge of the bullet guide stops just short of the magazine, it sits close to the magazine, but does not directly contact it. Among the differences between the MSA and renegadebuck adapter is that no part of the renegadebuck adapter actually sits inside of the receiver, so there's nothing to obstruct a bullet guide. Aside from the AR15 magazines, the only magazines I have aside from the stock magazine and a few surefires are a dozen steel galil magazines. I have to either remove the bullet guide o
  2. Judging by your photos, the MSA adapter already has a kind of bullet guide, the front part of the adapter sticking up into the receiver acting also as the front lip (working in tandem with the rear locking tab securing it into the receiver) like a standard Kalashnikov magazine. I don't think there's enough room for an additional bullet guide without either cutting back the bullet guide, or worse, cutting one part of the adapter which seems to be locking it into the weapon. Also, the strike marks on the adapter, are those from the case mouth of the round? If so I don't know if adding a se
  3. I've seen similar issues as JTucker. Similar setup/effects: Renegadebuck adapter, locking lug intercepting the front-right corner of new magazines. With a new magazine, the magazine may either eject when the bolt carrier goes forward and the lug contacts the magazine (the lug 'wins'), or the magazine stays in, but the carrier fails to travel fully forward and lock into battery (the magazine 'wins'). After one or two carrier traversals though, every AR magazine I own now has a small nick in the front-right corner (the lug always wins in the end). For what it's worth, I do have Dinz
  4. In your case, it sounds like the magazine still isn't totally seated Almost like it goes in deep enough to partially engage the magazine lock on the adapter, but not deep enough to prevent the rotating bolt from disengaging the magazine. In my case, the problem went away after one or two hand cycles. By then the bolt "adjusted" the magazine by taking a nick out of the magazine corner where it happened to be getting in the way. After I could hand-cycle dummy rounds from the nicked magazine into the chamber without incident, I checked the headspace with a set of go/no-go gauges (to be
  5. I installed the adapter on two Saiga's so far. The first one had no issues what so ever. On the second rifle, I had a problem similar to yours. The magazine would lock solidly into the adapter, but I'd have to push the bolt forward a bit to get it to go fully into battery. After closer inspection, the rear part of the bolt, which 'locks' in front of the 'ears' of the front trunnion was making contact with the front right corner of the magazine. This would be evident if you inspect the front right corner of your magazine for any indications of hard metal contact (missing plastic, or
