sks to ak 47 magazine conversion

points to remember replicate what the internal magazine does as far as position and orientation of the cartridges. you had better be using that caliper tool to measure every thing to the thousandths of an inch. (load rounds in the mag and measure how far the point of the bullet sticks above the mag as well. some wiggle is good cartridges need to be pointed straight laterally (parallel to bore axis and centered) magazine contact points thin the bottom of the bolt back of cartridges 1 0 mm in front of ejector ( but below it in elevation of course) the space to dremel out under the chamber is only about a tenth of an inch deep. the height of that pocket should be just a little more then the lug (width too) you must weld a plate to catch the bottom of the lug. that plate must rise a mm or so into the mag well. if your good with your hands and you follow my list i estimate for you it will be a 10 20 hr experience. diamond eng
