30 rounds of unreliability

Chronicphonics · 03-05-2007, 12:37 AM

I bought a 30 round steel mag for my yugo on cheaperthandirt's website, as everyone knows it wont feed correctly and consistently.

After much thought, i thought of a possible way to fix the problem.

tack weld a small 45 degree angle from where the tip of the bullet would be to the chamber

Before:

_O <--chamber
bullet :|===> __|

After:

O <--chamber
bullet: |===>_/

__________________________________________________ _______________
Just like a pistol would have.

Does anyone think this would work?

****PS*** Please only post helpfull feed back, dont tekk me to keep my sks orriginal.

Thank you.

Building up the front of the magazine follower to raise the angle of the bullet will work too - BTDT.

Just keep your sks original. They're better that way.

Just kidding.

I think that would work. I'd try it with a very light tack first, so that you can modify it. Good luck.

It goes without saying but
DO NOT USE LIVE AMMO TO TEST ANY MAGAZINE MODS.
Get some snap caps or something.

It seems to me I bent the lips of the mag out a little but it could have been in.At any rate they work great now.Also,smooth any sharp edges off the lips. samuel.
