Magazine misfeeding

[romack 991]

I have a hungarian 30 rd. mag that has been misfeeding. When the clip is tilted down, I'll push a round out, the next round will come up but it will be ~1/16in forward of where it should be. If I tilt it up the round loads fine. I got the clip used at a gun show. I think it might be the spring because it feels a little weak. Any ideas?

That's a tough one. With new mags going for about 10 bucks, I'd probably just buy a couple of new ones and either toss the bad one or keep it for spare parts. Just be sure and mark it so you don't forget it doesn't work right. J&G sales (520-445-9650)has new East German mags for 16.95 each. CDNN (1-800-588-9500) has new Bulgarian mags for 9.99, and used Soviet mags in like-new condition for 7.99. They're just too cheap to have one that doesn't work right. The Bulgarian polymer waffle mags from K-Var are the coolest IMHO, but they're more expensive, about 14 bucks maybe.
