Eric D 0 Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 I've got a Saiga in 5.45x39 that I've done a buttstock, pistol grip, FCG and bullet guide conversion on. I have 3 different type of mags for it - Tapco, Bulgy and one Plum Izy, The Izy will fit and function rounds, but does not have the audible click that the others have when full seated in the mag well. It also does not come out easily after fireing. I have to take another mag or anything hard, and hit the mag latch in order for it to come out. I have taken some material off the bottom part of the magazine stud where it clicks into mag lever. What else can be done to alleviate this problem.... take some material off the top of the mag catch? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thebuns1 4,323 Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 File the top of the mag catch a little bit. The portion that makes contact with the magazine tab. Just take off a little at a time and try not to take too much off as it may leave your others fitting a bit lose. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eric D 0 Posted December 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Thanks Cap'm, that's what I figured i needed to do....but yea, I'd hate to take too much off for this one mag to fit right, then all my others fit sloppy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BigChongus 765 Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Some of mine were like this, too. I found that just rounding the mag catch a bit alleviated the problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eric D 0 Posted December 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 Well, I didn't take any material off the mag catch due to not haveing a file small enough to get in there. I do have a dremel, but I decided to just take some more material off the mag tab with a file.... it fits fine now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
