They ain't great, granted they look cooler than the tapco, but the tapcos don't FTF

 

[copperhead1971]

i will be getting out in the next week to try it out and will let you know.

^ Many thanks.

i did 50 rounds with only 3 FTL , the 4th rounds wouldn't pop up , and once the point was flattened i had to play with it, so 7 of 10 loads worked fine, it may take a bit of modding to make it perfect.

Good to know.

You can get the 5/30 pro mag ones instead from irunguns. You could even get 5/40s.

I've been told that anything other then the ten round mag that comes with the gun would be no good, I plan on improving the gun or the the mag or both to make it work.

I have run 1000's of rounds through 3 different 5/20 and 5/30 metal SKS mags with no FTF's that I recall. All you need to do is remove the follower and put about a 10 degree back bend in the rear leg(with a little heat). This forces the nose on the follower up a bit to get the last round to feed properly. Also need to make sure the spring is installed so it puts lift pressure on the front of the follower. Easy as pie!
