Help on Albanian SKS Mag

[jmikey]

Maybe one of you SKS guys can help me out with a picture of your Albanian Mag the next time to tear down your rifle. Attached are pics of my mag with a now broken repair and I need to see a good one to figure out how much buildup is required. Tried a replacement I think Russian mag and it just won't quite fit. Any suggestions appreciated.

When you say won't fit, how so?
Some of my SKS's, I have to put the mag in the reciever and then install the entire mess into the stock. Removing the bolt also helps sometimes, to get it to go all the way up the last little bit.

I am not home so I can't help with a pic of my Alby....

I can shoot some pics latter today.

Tex and Norton, I worked on that sucker for a couple of hours this AM and just could not get it to handle either a chinese or russian mag. Looks like there are two areas in the alby mag that are a little smaller. The riveted end has thinner metal and the bulge on the channel for the lifter is a bit smaller. If anyone gets any pics I would appreciate it.

If these photos are not what you need pm me

Norton, my problem is just above the mag catch on the last picture where the trigger group fits in. the flare on that channel is whats broken and I assume its normal form is close to any of the other mags but smaller. I know that a russian will not fit in there because you can't lock the trigger group down (possibly I could with a sledge hammer). Thanks for the pics
