I own 2 AKs, one is a WASR-10 and the other is a Saiga. I was putting some mag clamps on some 30 rounders Saturday and stuck them into the Saiga AK to check the spacing between the mags. These mags (4) have only spent time in my WASR, and have never met the Saiga. The regular mags that I've used in the Saiga when shooting is the polymer waffle mag that came with it and the 20 rounders (tanker style). When I put the 30 rounders (yugo surplus) into the Saiga, the forward "hook" will engage properly but the rearward piece that holds the mag in place will not allow the mag release to return to it's normal position and hold the mag. The piece on the mag is too thick for the Saiga's mag catch, but it fits the WASR. What's the best option? Would filing the mag catch on the Saiga make it's mags loose? Would filing the mags themselves make them loose in the WASR? Should I mark them as WASR mags and get some mags just for the Saiga?
Yeah I know that every mag should be introduced to every gun, but these 4 have been kept close to the WASR since I got them.
