502sox 1 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Just got a few magazines for 308 from CSS specs. They fit a little loose in rifle but cycle snap caps fine. Some side to side wobble , is this normal? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
haugpatr 972 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 If it cycles snap caps, what is your concern? AK's are built with loose tolerances to be reliable. Nothing to worry about. Front to back mag wobble is a problem, side to side, not so much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
csspecs 1,987 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 They are made to be tight, however the nature of the AK does not lend itself to being terribly consistent for mag lock up. We took about .01 off the surface of the rear lock a few months ago to reduce the need for fitting to guns. Its still tighter then factory mags on average. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
502sox 1 Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 It's wobbly on both axis. Thinking maybe mag latch tab could be built up a little bit. There is fair amount of play between tab and latch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
502sox 1 Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Bear in mind I'm not complaining, mag is very well built and I'm very pleased with product. Just wanted a little input. Keep up the great work! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
S5snake 41 Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 I have four of them that lock up nice and tight in two different rifles, I didn't have to make any adjustments to either. If your not the original owner perhaps some gun plummer previously attempted to resolve another magazine fitment issue. Just a thought. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
netpackrat 566 Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 I bought a couple of his earliest version of the stamped mags. Good mags, but they wobble in the mag well the same as Uinta/FBMG. Bought some of the "hardened" mags when they were available, and they are rock solid. Bought some more that I received a week or two ago. I can't tell any difference in lockup between them and the hardened mags. I really like the latest floor plates. I would like to buy some for my other mags if they are available seperately. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would like to buy some for my other mags if they are available seperately. If you got 20s you'll likely notice that the rear Lug/catch (whichever you want to call it) is thicker at the base. This works to stop the magazine latch at the ideal point to prevent it being loose, the saiga .308 20rd and vepr .308 5, 15 and 20 rd have this alteration added. I noticed it as a feature on Bulgarian and Finnish AK mags to reduce slop, it is not present on Saiga factory mags. Paint drawing is not to scale (or even close) The Floor plates will be listed as a spare part in about a month, right now I have just enough for the mags I'm building so I can't sell any without reducing available mags.
