FALs and the variants aren't the easies to put mags in because of the way they swing in. Add to that I agree that it might be a mag catch issue which is preventing the mags from locking in.

Well, I think I got it fingered out. Out of spec mags. A few whacks with a leather mallet on the feedlips and viola'. Now all 4 mags fit, though still a little snug. Sometimes it just takes a bigger fuckin' hammer, I guess.
How do you compromise with someone when their idea of compromise is to give them what THEY want?

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
Now you need to take it out and make sure the mags still feed. Good luck.
Thanks for all the tips, guys. I bought this rifle as a training aid to help me in working on different rifles at the MG shoot I work at in the summer. Lesson #1: Mags won't fit? Get a big ass hammer and beat 'em into submission.
