WASR-10/63 Romanian style AK47 question

I bought my AK47 at a gun show and when I got home I realized that it came wit a 10/rd single stack clip and I bought a 30/rd to go with it, the 30/rd does not fit into the bottom of my gun, is there a way I can either modify the clip or the firearm itself in order to get it to fit? its just barely too big for the hole

Sorry I can't help you with that one, but I understand that there is a way to modify the mag well.
oh, and just a friendly tip. It's called a magazine. Not a "clip." As a general rule among small arms, if it has a spring, it's a magazine. Don't let hollywood fool you.

Recon, Century International Arms, Inc. imports AK-variant rifles and the ones that are originally single-stack mags, such as the Romanian, they grind-out the magwell in certain areas so that the double-stack magazines will fit. The issue is that magazines on a lot of these guns then have a bit of "wobble", since they no longer have metal holding the mag tight on each side. AK's that have original double-stack mags have a "dimple" on each side of the receiver that holds the sides of the mag.

I believe that you can do the grinding yourself, but I would suggest taking it to a reputable gunsmith and asking them to do it for you. Much less chance of getting mag-wobble, then.

Stamped receivers aren't that hard to mod for mags. Get a receiver pattern and machine the mag well to match it. Don't mod anything but the receiver, ie don't touch the trunion or barrel.

Thanks for all of the input everyone I'm gonna try to find a gunsmith to do it for me I'll just mess it up

Also I forgot to say I got the WASR low cap model and a 30 round magazine is a lil to wide can that be fixed as well?
