Make a 522 10 shot mag from a EM-332A mag

[Ganderite]

I have both rifles.

The 522 came with a nice pair of steel 5 shot mags.

The Em 322A uses a similar 10 shot mag.

I just bought 3 more 322 mags from Tenda, for about $22 each.

One fit the 522 as was. The other three just needed a lick of the file across the top front of the mag. There is a little spot weld there that made the mag a tad too fat to fit the 522.

That is all that was required to mod the mag so it works perfectly in both rifles.

I only did one so far, needed the mag lock notch raised a bit and the front of the feed lip rounded a little. Works fine now.

Thanks for the info. Should be pretty similar across the two.

The silver marker shows the area that needs a lick of the file to smooth off. I think it is the spot weld that is a bit ruff.

After I made the rear surface smooth. That is all it took.

Thank you Ganderite. That was very helpful. I was ready to take a dremel to mine. I'll try this first.
