Hey, I got a new Tapco 30 rd magazine for my MAK90 but the latch on the mag won't hook into the mag release tab. So it basically falls off since it is not secured in. I heard Tapco's might require modification so that it fits in and latches on.

Anyone come across this problem?

I have even had some issues with standard military metal AK mags. I had to file the rear tang on the mag to get it to lock into one of my AK variants. If you have other mags that work with no problem, I would just lightly file the tang a little at a time until if latches.

I also had a couple of mags that would lock in nicely, but I needed pliers to get the release lever to move because the mag was so tight. I wouldn't have thought they wouldn't lock in to begin with, but they did.

Cool, thanks! I'll file the tang on the mag then.

Yes, modify the mag, not the weapon.
