SVT Mag Rattle

[cainesy]

Howdy folks. Whenever I load 5 rds in my SVT mag, there seems to be something rattling around inside the mag body. I took it apart and everything was ok, nothing loose whatsoever. It don't rattle when its empty, so what could be causing it. Could it be the spring compressing and hitting the side of the mag? Is there any type of spray can remedy I can coat the spring with? Its rather annoying and a dead giveaway when hunting, any and all replies welcome. Cheers.

If theres no debirs, it has to be the spring or follower rattling. I dont think any spray will help. Does it do it with 4 rounds, 3, 2 etc or just 5?

Is your magazine pinned, or does it have a block?
If it has a block, maybe that is what is rattling?
Just guessing here...

Its pinned with a rivet, and I've only used 5rds. Is there anything made in a spraycan which I can coat the spring with, say rubber. Thanks for the replies.

I'm sure you could coat the spring in a aersol rubber undercoating and try that.

Strange I can only get 4 rounds in my mag and one up the pipe...
