    AK center support mag fitment problem

    Anyone ever had a problem with a mag hitting the center support and not fitting? I had no choice but to do some grinding on the center support to get a mag to fit. Weird thing is my Russian mags fit perfect but my Bulgys do not and its a Bulgy Ak74 kit. Possibly a slight defect where the center support hole was punched with the flat I received? Just curious if anyone else has ran into this problem before.

    Some of those mags will bind. Just take some off of the top.

      This.... My first 74 (first AK build ever) had this problem. I had to fit the mags and the CS.... I should have gone to a build party before trying it on my own but I just couldnt wait.

        No you did it right, the other way is cheating.
        There are 3 kinds of people in this world.
        The wise, learn from the mistakes of others.
        The smart, learn from their own mistakes.
        The others, well......they just never learn.

            Yep, all complete. Should be able to knock out #3 tomorrow if I find the energy to get around to it. #4 should be here next Wednesday.

              My Tapco mag cleared the center support as do the bulgy mag, but the Bulgy mag won't lock while the Tapco one did. No mag wobble either. Had to do a little trimming on the mag catch.
