AK-74 mag problems

[Prince Yamato]

I just bought a Romanian AK-74 (5.45 x 39), the orange bakelite mags work fine in the receiver, however two black Buglarian mags I purchased, don't fit. What do I have to shave off of the mags to get them to fit? The Bulgarian mags fit width-wise and are the same overall width of the Romanian (orange) ones. I'm thinking that it's a feed-lips issue.

edit: solved my own problem... needed to dremmel down the plastic bit that was just above the mag catch.

I have had trouble with black mags that don't fit well in my tantal. I have a WASR 2 that takes them just fine so I just segregated my mags a little. In the future, I'll make sure and just get the mags that fit both.

Tapco is selling Orange bakelite mags right now.
