AK magazine fitment issues

BETTA TAKE IT TO A GUNSMIFF!

When you get them in, do they wobble side to side or front to back?

There's a little bit of movement front to back back there is no side to side play.

You can lightly hit both sides of the mag with some 400 grit. Past that you may have a mag well issue with the gun.

I'll give it a shot this weekend. I may be relegated to just using polymer magazines like opps said.

Thanks guys.

If you prefer to use steel mags in everything, as I do, get one of these tools:
Magazine Feed Lip Adjustment Tool eBay link
It'll pay for itself many times over.

That looks kind of like the old screwdriver I have in my garage with the head ground off and a slot cut into the side of the shaft...

Except it was a really big square shaft and I cut it so the slot is "triangle shaped" for small bends.

Works well with all the lip mods, for me, anyway.
