Norinco MC-5D Mags

[tnathantaylor]

I have a Norinco MC-5D. I'm curious if there are others out there that have these, and what mags do you find work the best. I have two steels mags that came with it and find it can be a bit finicky to insert the mags. Maybe that's just to be expected.
Thanks!

These are just shortened AK mags. Because they are rock and lock it is finicky to do with them shortened bananas.

I think its irreparable, best to just sell it to me...

Take a sharp edged square or rectangular file, and touch up the surfaces of the rear tab on the mags. You should be able to tell where it's binding. It will not hurt function or reliability if your taking a tiny bit off. It does make the mag then specific to that rifle, of course.

Did such to mine, huge difference. Insertion/release like butter afterwards, still lock in place 100%.
