I'm sure it's aftermarket. Certain stocks are only meant to accept the original fixed 10 round magazine. If memory serves, some of these are ATI's folding stock and their dragunov style stock.

Keep the stock magazine. I have tried to get one that works and it is hard to find. I went out and bought a stock replacement magazine cause I was tired of fooling with the 30 rnd ones.

I second GoodAim's advice. I tried and failed with several 30 rd mags. Finally I just put the internal 10 rd mag back in, and it functions flawlessly. If you want to blow some rounds, just learn to use stripper clips. It's your only viable option in my opinion. Good luck!

Who made your aftermarket magazine. I called Promag (the people who made mine) and it's got a lifetime warranty they sent me a prepaid envelope to mail it back they said they will fix it and mail it back to me. I will keep you posted on how well that works out.

If the magazine is a USA brand, I can tell you the problem with it. The problem is it's a USA brand magazine.
