I have a new AES-10B (Romanian "rpk") w/ matching numbers, etc. It will
not consistently feed from the left-hand side of various mags (30, 40, drum,
metal, synthetic). The bolt and carrier seem to freeze up about 1/2 way
over the full mag. It can't be pushed forward at all. But, if the mag is
removed, everything usually goes forward w/o a problem. Sometimes you
have to pull back instead and empty out the round and then it cycles the
next round from the right side without a problem.
This malfunction is not consistent and in fact the rifle seems to work a little
better after it warms up. However, even warmed up it will still only works
well with a couple mags.
The action will cycle fine over any empty mag which I put into it. But again,
with a loaded mag, and dry cycling, with and without the recoil spring in
place, the same problem occurs. Gently sliding the bolt/bolt carrier forward
over a loaded mag w/o the recoil spring will still result in the same problem
and always from the left-hand side feed.
Any ideas besides a return to Century?
