American Tactical 75 drum not fitting into my AK47 Yugo M70 Magwell

[Busch]

I purchased the 75 round drum and it wont fit length wise form front to back. My Ak takes a 30 mag without a problem. Any idea's? I heard you may have to do some filing on the rear of the mag that sticks out to catch the Mag lock on the AK. However,I also have heard that there might have to be two nubs inside the Magwell that may need to be filed off. I am lost and need some advice. I don't want to F%^&$# up my AK or new Mag.

I am new to my AK and new to this Forum. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Dremel them down till it fits. (stone tip http://www.google.com/products/catal...d=0CEwQ8gIwBw# )

What parts should I dremel. The risers on the Mags or the 2 bumps in the Magwell? Thanks

If the rest of your mags fit, then dremel the drum.

If no magazine fits, then dremel the rifle.

Sorry, but Should I start by filing the 90 degree risers on the Mag or the rear of the mag? Do those risers actually do anything?

Field strip your rifle, and inspect every angle of the magazine well and mag locking area while attempting to insert your magazine. Look at it from the inside of the rifle, look at it from every angle around the outside.

You must determine what is stopping the mag from inserting. How far does it insert? What shape is it in when its inserted the maximum it will go? Does it fit all the way in but then your mag catch is stuck "open"?

How many other magazines have you attempted to insert? What other type of mags did you attempt to insert? Did they insert?
