Ranger61 0 Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 I'm soon going to be installing a bullet guide, and to be able to accept AK mags I see it's required to do a little filing on the mag catch. Just for a reference I was wondering what the final length of your catch is until it would accept the AK mag? I used a vernier caliper on an unmodified catch and it is dead-on 1.50 inches in length. thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mullet Man 2,114 Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) Mine mic's out to 1.455". Nice lock up with a cunt hairs play. 1.46" might have been a little nicer but I hate to split hairs. I have had absolutely zero feed issues from an assortment of non US magazines. Edit; Just for reference, the factory untouched latch on my SLR-107cr mic's out to 1.462" Edited June 2, 2014 by Mullet Man Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Livn68 1 Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 When I was filing mine, I put the AK mag in and bottomed out the tab on the receiver. I then took a scratch awl and marked the face of the mag catch where the tab ended. After I removed the mag, I was able to see the line that I needed to file to in order to get clearance for my mags to latch into. It ended up being about 3/32" that I filed away.

Ranger61 0 Posted June 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Excellent guys! Exactly what I wanted! This gives a round house figure on what to take off even though I will be filing just a little at a time and trying it out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
