    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.

    You're welcome for the idea.

    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.
