I recently bougth a mag from SKSMan pictured bellow. The problem is, I would like to know if it is dangerous. When I fire the gun with a full mag, sometime, the last round wil not enter the chamber and will face up (toward the sky) and get stuck and get a bad mark on the side from the bolt carrier. (the primer is never hit)

Basicly, the round have the bullet facing the sky stuck between the chamber and the bolt carrier. A quick pull on the bolt carrier eject the round.

I would never reuse the round, but , could it potentially explode when hit like that ? It get hit hard enghout to make a 2 mm mark on the side of the bullet.

My Tapco mags stovepipe the last round as well. There is a thread around here somewhere discussing a possible fix... check that the follower is level and if not bend spring until it is was the gist of the idea. I have not tried it yet although mine look mostly level and I have the problem.
