Well, as many of you know I finally got my first AK a couple of weeks back (M&M M10-762). It came with a poly 10 round mag, and since that grew old quickly, I decided that some 30 rd. pre-bans were in order, so I bought some and they finally arrived today. They appear to be in very decent condition, but when I started loading them up, that's when I became concerned. Out of the 4, only the oldest looking one took all of the rounds correctly. The others seemed to have follower issues where they would jam after about 15-20 rounds, and on one I couldn't even get the rounds back out without disassembling the mag, and slamming it against a solid surface to dislodge them. The mags have no external dents, or other damage that would likely be a culprit for this type of binding. If this is a follower issue, is there an "improved" polymer follower out there like the ones Magpul makes for AR mags? Other suggestions? I haven't had a chance to see how they cycle in actual fire, but based on how they feel in static loading, I believe they will have feeding issues. Any suggestions on what I can do to improve these, or smooth out the action will be greatly appreciated!
