SKS-D doesn't like magpul AK47 mags

[ghostntheshell]

I have a real SKS-D that refuses to accept magpul AK47 mags.
It can be forced - but it's by no means natural. The other metal AK mags for perfectly.

Anyone else had any luck with magpul AK mags an your sks D?
I may try filing some material off or just selling the mag :/

Mine work flawlessly after a bit of sanding.
I have the 5 rnd ones.

metal > plastic (polymer if you feel fancy)

No idea why people would buy anything in crappy fisher price plastic (oh sorry polymer) when its available in good old does not crack or breaks metal.
Oh and the mgapul fashion wtf is that... seriously.

It's like how my P-Mags won't fit in my Type 97.

It's more availability and price.
Real 30 round AK are great but not always available.

FWIW I had to really polish all my AK-47 mags to run reliably in my SKS-D. YMMV... I picked it up 20 years ago and got rid of it in 2014. Nice rifle but it did not run right without a LOT of elbow grease on those mags.

All plastics are polymers, but not all polymers are plastic...

Norinco mags work best! Lever
