problem inserting mag

[T56]

Do any of you have problems inserting a full 5 round mag into the shotgun ? I can't seem to fit it into the gun without pulling the bolt back and locking it first.
What can I do to just lock and load like a normal AK ?

Get used to it. The best solution I have found, is to use one of blackjacks swift levers with bolt hold open notch. It is the fastest way I have found.

It can be done, just make sure you engage the lip at the front of the mag then firmly rock the magazine upwards. It will lock with the bolt forward, takes practice.

If you take the floor plate off, the lower spring guide has two extensions that stick up into the follower. If you take off about a 1/2", it will allow about half a shell's worth of travel that wasnt there before, making it easier for the bottom of the bolt to push down on the rounds in the mag. I had the same problem and it is way easier now.

If you glue some hair around the mag hole it can help.
