pmags not seating on a closed bolt

[iloveak47]

so i have these gen2 pmags pinned to five and they won't seat on a closed bolt. what are my options? unpinning, shortening just a bit the follower so it won't fit 6 rounds but just enough room to seat on a closed bolt and re-pin? i don't want to shave too much and F my mags.

any other options?

Shave or repin.
Thats it.

Closed.

Sorry. One more. Load on an open bolt.

At this time you have no real option but to trim the follower. You will not be able to drill a new hole for a rivet as it will be to close to the original one.

......unless you rivet on the opposite side of the magazine

pretty much what i tought, i guess i'll shave those followers one by one.

just shave the follower to get it to accept 5.5

the difference between 5.5 rounds and 6 rounds is not huge so not a lot of room for error. stupid 5 round limit. it is quite a time consuming process : unpin, shave, re-pin, test. repeat until good to go and do it for 10 mags.
