Also tried some Bulgarian polymer mags and they won’t lock in the PSA for me. However, they fit and function flawlessly in my Romanian AKM SAR 1.

[@getmeoutofsanfrancisco9917]

I've generally never been a fan of filing mags. Unless it is purely a magazine issue (in which case it should be filed) or an issue with compatibility (like some Yugo mags), then it is an issue with the rifle and it should be set right regardless. Ime a lot of the time it has to do with the length of the mag release tab being too long with certain AKs. I would 100% file the tab if that is the issue. And there is no such thing as permanently altering the weapon system, not really. You can permanently alter a part, but at worst you will need to replaced (drilled and re-riveted), or have a smith do it for you. Something which can easily be avoided unless you go at it like a meth head. If you are slow and careful it's not rocket science. If necessary, *I use marking blue* to see where something is hanging up where it shouldn't be and then slowly and gently file. It's tedious but worth it.

[@MedievalMan]

​@GetmeoutofSanFrancisco Everything you've stated here is spot on correct. My Croatian-Yugo pattern AK had fitment issues. And it was the locking tab being a bit off center. I could feel it as it engaged the magazine rear lug. I filed the locking tab, and I have had no issues. All my magazines fit now, including Bulgarian polymer and steel. Nothing wrong with filing the locking tab on the rifle. Just take it slow, and be patient, and only file what is necessary to lockup, even if it's tight. Go to the range and test fire, then file a bit more to make all magazines have just a small amount of give but still fitting snug, but not tight. And now it's perfectly set where it needs to be.

[@cfltitan]

I just got my PSA AK-P last week and am in love with it. I have seen reports of them, for whatever reason, not fitting ((10)) mags. I sadly don't have any because I was too stupid to buy them bank in the days when they were affordable. Luckily I was smart enough to buy a dozen or so bakelites because I LOVE the look of them. So far out of my modest collection of mags (about 25-30) I haven't found any that don't fit my AK-P. My one tapco is a little tight as well as my US Palm mags. The magpul mags fit like a glove along with the bakelites. My collection of steel surplus mags (Mostly Chinese spineless but I have a few Romanian and Bulgarians) all fit great and are REALLY fast at popping in but like pretty much all steel mags they have a little wobble which is fine and is supposed to be there. I don't have any drums, Koreans or Croatians although I'm looking at getting a few of the Korean 20 rounders. I'm also thinking of getting a pack of ten of the Croatian mags because even though they're very hit or miss in fitting, it's a VERY easy fix. There's a few videos out there on where to remove material (it's right above the rear locking tab). Also it's a long read but here's an excellent article on identifying AK mags. www.sadefensejournal.com/wp/identifying-collecting-the-7-62x39-ak-47akm-magazine/

I just picked up my PSA GF3 side folder today. Drove out to my dads house where he has shooting range. I only brought a bunch of magpul mags since I had them already loaded up and was just gunna plink around. The magpul mags just barley click in, the lock up is tight as heck. I had 1 Romanian surplus steel mag on me and it will not lock in or even get close. Gun is beautiful and I was so stoked when I picked it up. But seeing that the only surplus mag I brought with me doesn’t even work disappoints me. I’ll wait til I get home to test the rest, but all my surplus ak mags are the same cheap Romanian style ones that are everywhere so I’m having doubts that all my mags will work and gotta buy all new mags. Hopefully the KCI mags will fit mine as well like this vid, because they are 9.99 a pop

I know this is an old video but I noticed everyone's saying never modify the rifle itself and instead the mags, and I get that but... Would modifying the mags make them not fit in other AK's or is the tolerance tight enough that it doesn't introduce more slop in non-PSA AK's? Also, couldn't you just file down the mag release ever so slightly? That would at least be the cheapest thing to replace if it ends up being shoddy. Or is the issue with the actual dimensions of the mag well?

[@jeerrrrrrryyyyy]

Strait from china.

[@joshlanter0928]

have you found any drums to work on the psa gf3

[@jeerrrrrrryyyyy]

Honestly this one is the only one that I have tried.

[@joshlanter0928]

@@jeerrrrrrryyyyy Thanks for the reply and help

[@markwhite6782]

I guess I'm just lucky, I have about 40 AK mags, all com-bloc and China from E. Germany, Romania, Yugo, Hungary etc and have yet to have a mag not lock in. I do not own any polymer or bakalite mags so whatever thats worth. I just like the steel magazines but they are getting hard to find and expensive now unless they are Croatian.

[@SpookbotTV]

Can you file the Croatian ones to fit the PSA? I just got one and haven’t filed yet

[@jeerrrrrrryyyyy]

Yup Croatian BHO AK magazine fix kzbin.info/www/bejne/poSVgXyMgJ6Dm5Y

[@oldgoatgxp]

I use magpul MOE as the Gen 3 won't work on my Palmetto.

[@noahrichardburger]

The new style (metal insert) magpul AK mags don’t fit my gf3, but the original magpuls do

[@jeerrrrrrryyyyy]

Good Info! Thank you Noah!

[@MikaOwns]

I dont think they fit in any AK off the shelf. At least in my WASR & WBP. You have to file the rear locking tab bit by bit until it fits.

[@painter4769]

It seems there's a difference between the PSA akp and ak47. Croatia mags fit my AK 47 like a glove.

[@jeerrrrrrryyyyy]

They probably are different.

[@painter4769]

@@jeerrrrrrryyyyy on FB PSA ak47 page it's a mixed experience from 1 PSA AK to the next. Some say all mags work some say none worked until they filed the mag catch or each magazine.

[@jeerrrrrrryyyyy]

@@painter4769 yeah I can imagine. It seems that they “PSA” are not using a specific jig to build them.

[@sasqwatch01]

Good vid!

[@jeerrrrrrryyyyy]

Thank you Kodiackiller!

[@ryanp6072]

Anyone know of the KCI mags fit the GEN 2 PSA KS47 (AR that runs 762 with a modified bolt and lower)? Found some steel mags for a great price but don’t want buy them if they won’t work - they state Korean mags work but heard some people had issues with them

[@jeerrrrrrryyyyy]

I’m not 100 percent sure on that one. Please let us know if they fit.

[@mytoob1671]

Thanks!

[@jeerrrrrrryyyyy]

No problem.

[@nickmacias00]

Can someone tell me why these don’t fit? Is it the small tab in the back of the mag that doesn’t lock in? Seems like a pretty easy fix

[@jeerrrrrrryyyyy]

Center support rivet placement.

[@WyoCoyote]

What type of file would you use? Also would you sand it afterwards?

[@jeerrrrrrryyyyy]

Any type of file should work for you as long as it is sharp. Sanding is up to you.

[@painter4769]

4:50 those Bulgarian mags will not work with my PSA ak47 gen 3 even with filing.

[@jeerrrrrrryyyyy]

Send it back to PSA. It sounds like the center support rivet needs attention.

[@richardturk7162]

Don't file the side of a TAPCO file the rear locking tab just a little. Croatian mags don't fit my milled Yugo at all or my Chinese milled Poly Tech.

[@jeerrrrrrryyyyy]

You'er right about the Tapco mags. The Croatian mags don't fit? maybe this will help. kzbin.info/www/bejne/poSVgXyMgJ6Dm5Y

[@YTBEN1045]

Has PSa done something about this already. When a number of different mags don't fit, it's a rifle problem..

[@Gator69420]

I’d like to know because I just ordered a G5 and now I’m looking at all these different mags 😳 what the hell….

[@kylecarpenter3900]

I'm glad I've kinda graduated on the ak 47. After reading vickers guide to Kalashnikov volume one, I know the difference between ak 47s and akm's, and what actual year's they came out. One thing I've also learned about American sales, stay away from century arm's and psa. Study the Warsaw pact, then study your favorite country from it, and choose an akm. I chose Poland and Romania, polish being a 1966 all numbers matching parts kit build from jra, and a 2022 wasr that I'm falling out of love with ...

[@alvinjayv5829]

Is that the magpul moe magazine that comes with psak? Thank u

[@jeerrrrrrryyyyy]

Yes, the MOE magazine came with this one. I don’t know if they still do or not.

[@alvinjayv5829]

@@jeerrrrrrryyyyy awesome men thank you, just got my very first so called psa ak103 lol and I'm just tryna find mags that fits with no wobbles and works perfect for the ak103. Any other brands suggestions with bolt hold open? Thanks

[@jeerrrrrrryyyyy]

@@alvinjayv5829 I like the Croatian magazine’s, they have worked great for me. Having said that there are a few people that have told me that they don’t work well in their AK’s so buyers be warned.

[@alvinjayv5829]

I just went ahead and ordered few of Magpul moe, Croatian and the polymer Bulgarian mags I'm pretty sure they should be ok, hopefully! Lol, thanks again men appreciate it!

[@jeerrrrrrryyyyy]

@@alvinjayv5829 no problem! Thank you for checking out the video.

[@1911Libertywarrior]

I've worked on and build aks for a long time that gun needs to see the factory again or a kalashnismith. Aks can not like some mags i.e. plastic or steel or counties but not with such a wide range of mags like this seems like the mag catch/trigger guard is out of spec.

[@jeerrrrrrryyyyy]

Indeed

[@samdiegidio7993]

Where does everyone buy their magazines? I need a decent website that has a lot of options

[@jeerrrrrrryyyyy]

there are a bunch of places to find them, but I recommend supporting your local brick and mortar stores.

[@samdiegidio7993]

They don't have many options. Mostly magpul magazines. I'm looking for Bulgarian or Romanian mags but can only find ones from places I've never heard of before

[@jeerrrrrrryyyyy]

@@samdiegidio7993 Try searching with duck duck go. They both come up right away. Romanian are $29.00 for a two pack. Bulgarian 5 pack for $69.00. They all are in stock right now.

[@LSB44446]

My KCI Gen 2 doesn't fit my PSAK47GF3. I'm confused needless to say lol

[@jeerrrrrrryyyyy]

Logan Stewart AK rifles from PSA are built to a tolerance, so certain ones work better with different magazines. See if this information helps you kzbin.info/www/bejne/poSVgXyMgJ6Dm5Y

[@LSB44446]

Switchpod thank you!

[@dccmadams44]

I had to file down 3 magpul gen 3 mags to fit my GF3. This is the one with the metal reinforcement, built in. They were the most expensive of all that I own. Disappointing. The original all plastic magpul mags work no problem. I have them in 10, 20, and 30 rounds. The new bulgarian steel mags work great, and are my favorites.

[@jeerrrrrrryyyyy]

You can always send it back under warranty.

[@huitron23]

So the mags that fit the ak pistol fit the ak47 rifle ?

[@jeerrrrrrryyyyy]

All depends on where the center support rivet is placed in the receiver when it’s built and what type of magazines are used.

[@paulcrooks6008]

I have three old norinco ak rifles poly mags don't fit. They only use steel mags.

[@jeerrrrrrryyyyy]

Thank you Paul. Interesting what does and what doesn't fit these rifles.

[@kevmoful]

Just got one and it won’t take any of my steel magazines. It will only take gen 2 pmags.

[@jeerrrrrrryyyyy]

Check the placement of the center support rivet, and call PSA.

[@kevmoful]

@@jeerrrrrrryyyyy if I bubba up the mag and file the ridge just below the feed lips they go in pretty nice . But it is due to the pin you mention. Pmags took way less convincing to fit proper . Found some old pro mags in a box and they fit perfect , but they are pro mags. Going to zero it tomorrow , if it feeds I’m ok with fitting a few mags for it .

[@brokenman-f2t]

This really makes me not want to buy a ak anymore.

I’m thinking of buying my first rifle any recommendations on ak’s that aren’t too expensive

[@jeerrrrrrryyyyy]

Hey Brother! Well to be honest with you I would like to know the budget your working with, but having said that I could recommend you going to Atlantic firearms and picking up a ROMARM PARATROOPER-AK47 for $639.00. Word to the wise the wood may be sub par but you can get a good Romanian wood set from centerfire now for 39.99. I hope this helps.

[@oooooo6308]

Switchpod thanks also I’m sure this is important but I live in California unfortunately so I’m guessing that may change what I’m able to buy I would say my price range is around 700

[@jeerrrrrrryyyyy]

@@oooooo6308 Okay. The same rifle then. At the same site. there is a California option for that rifle you can select. it's just $34.99 extra. that's it.

[@oooooo6308]

Switchpod thanks appreciate the help

[@ImlikeHIGHHH]

Ooo Oooo can’t go wrong with a WASR-10. It’s a good entry level AK that won’t fall apart.
