SGM tactical Surefire mags not locking slide back?


Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I took my .308 Saiga to the range today [standard sporter configuration: no conversion work done]. It was fun! I came away with many smiles, but a worklist of things to fix before/during the next range trip.

 

One of those is the magazine issue. I bought an SGM Tactical Surefire 10 round magazine so that I'd have two mags. I was under the impression that these magazines were supposed to lock the slide/bolt back on an empty magazine, but it didn't. I only fired about 30 rounds through it, but it barely fit into the receiver and it didn't lock back the bolt when the mag was empty.

 

Did I misunderstand the magazine? or is there something I need to do to the bolt to make it lock back?

 

thanks for helping a newbie.

 

I did search for "Magazine Locking" and only got a few hits about the magazine not locking into the receiver, btw.
