Different Factory Magazine Releases


Recommended Posts

I was curious what everyone's magazine releases look like on their VEPR 12s.  I have a side folder and a fixed stock and they are two different types.  The one pictured below was from the fixed stock.  The mag catch is shaped similar to an AK47 style with a U channel.

Here is the other mag catch from my side folder.  It looks similar to a Saiga 12.

The reason I ask is the side folder mag release seams to be smoother when I insert a mag.  The fixed stock mag latch seem to be a little longer and I need to remove material from the mag to get it to lock into place.  Not a huge deal, but I would like to the mag fitment to be the same in both guns.

Mine are the same as yours, the fixed is different from the side folder.  My side folder catch was a little long, so I filed it down to the same size as my fixed, now they both fit equally nice.

 

I assume you removed the mag release to file it.  Is that correct?  Did you have to remove the mag well too?
