Sks mag adaptor

[Cssavage]

So I had recently done a magwedge mag adaptor to my sks and I took it to the range and when I get about 4-5 shots in the 10round mag drops out

How can I fix this so the mags stay in and don’t drop out

Why not?

 

[Prariehopper]

Am I crazy? Is the maximum .magazine size for a rifle not 5 rounds??

 

[FreedomIsn'tFree]

It depends on what the mags was designed for that limits the capacity and not the firearm the mag is being used in. Center fire rifle mags can hold 5 rounds, pistol mags can hold 10 rounds.

Its been a while since I dealt with these but I think this is an issue of clearance in the stock around the mag well. How clean was your installation?

I had hi-cal install it for me

Yes it is a mag wedge adaptor I bought it from wandstalls a couple years ago when they first came out and just got around to doing it about 3 months ago

The stock may be interfering with the mag release button fully engaging. You may need to file a bit more wood out of the stock so the mag catch moves freely.

You are misinformed. If a 7.62x39 pistol exists (ie an XCR-L Micro) then magazines specifically designed for that pistol can legally hold 10 rounds, and if they happen to fit in other guns, well, there's nothing legally preventing their use in whatever they might fit in. Badly written laws result in loopholes.

Easier to say the restriction is on the magazine not the firearm. Gotta wonder how that got written but it is what it is.

I agree, it's probably a fitting issue

Thanks for that.

O.K. I am not familiar with this, What mag would that be?, I can't think of one.

"Mag well" is short for "magazine well", i.e. the magazine area of your SKS rifle.
