I bought some of the "Original Military" detachable SKS mags at the gun show this weekend and they don't seem to feed properly. I haven't shot the gun and haven't really investigated the situation in detail, but when I load several rounds in the magazine and cycle the action by hand the cartridges are not feeding into the chamber all the time. in fact most do NOT. they are jamming to one side or the other, once I push the tip over toward the chamber it goes in but then the next round may or may not feed properly.

Anyone have this problem and have a solution?

My next step is to put the standar 10 round hinged box back on and observe the difference in how they are feeding and see it I can alter the 20 round detachab;es to feed consistant, but I figured with alol the knowledge her someone has had the problem and has a solution........

Aftermarket SKS mags are notorious for feeding problems.

I believe that the one brand that is reliable is something like 'USA'.

I know a few folks that have had troublle with detachable magazines functioning in their SKS rifles. Not sure of the cause or corrective action. As the other poster suggested, changing to another brand of magzine may or may not help. All the best...
