1917 0 Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Should promags hold the bolt open after the last round? The two that I have do. What do you 3 gun guys use to carry your mags? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Makc 64 Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Hmm... Is that because the follower is coming up too high after the last round and the bolt hits it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vbrtrmn 167 Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Is it a bug or a feature? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

1917 0 Posted February 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 (edited) I did the fix and it seems to work . I will test this weekend. Another thing that might help these mags is removing the sharp burr under the metal feed lips . Edited February 13, 2009 by 1917 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think the follower in the magazine will take the punishment of the bolt slamming into it on the last round for very long. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uzitiger 193 Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 I got a Pro Mag magazine and didn't do much to fit it to the S-12 compared to the AGP and Taiwanese magazines. The follower does ride high which causes a bolt hold open after the last round like the Yugo AK BHO. The follower slides smoothly in the magazine and should feed properly when I fire it. I like Pro Mag's products. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully i get my promags in soon so i can test them befor spring kills the cold too bad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

At that price if thats the only problem you made out like a bandit. They also required some minor fitting. I noticed that they are not as smooth as the surefire, but where they lack in internal smoothness they make up for in spring tension. It will be interesting to see if they can feed 10rds of 3in shells. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
