M93 Woodsman mags won't feed.

[pottsy]

Having a bit of an issue with Norinco M93 mags... If I load more then 6 rounds the mag will not feed. I think perhaps the follower binds or the springs are too weak? I have cleaned and oiled them but that didn't help. Anyone else run across this problem?

Thanks.

Sound like your mag might be bent or slightly crushed. Lay it on a flat surface of a table and see if it lays flat. Most of the time the problem with these mags is people forcing the rounds in and bending the feed lips.

Does the follower jam as you go down or moves freely?

Follower seems to jam going up but only near the bottom of the mag. So if I put in say 7 rounds then pop out the top one the rest stay down. Going down the follower feels a tad rough. Both mags are exactly the same in this respect... and prety nearly new out of the box.
