#ARSENAL BULGARIAN MAKAROV VALUE SERIAL#
Hopefully, the springs are of better quality than the rest of these mags.Arsenal Bulgarian Makarov Semi-Automatic Pistol, importer-applied serial #BAM08390, original #BE22290, 9mm Makarov cal., 3.75'' barrel, blue finish, checkered plastic ''Star'' grips, standard sights, and one magazine. Perhaps the flood plates interchange as well. The ONLY reason why I gave these a value of 2 stars, is because I was able to take the springs out of them, and put one in the original factory magazine. I would not trust my life with them, and I would not trust them to be at the range. These magazines are junk when used in the standard Makarov (Bulgarian in this case, which is identical to the Russian military model). This could have contributed to the failure to lock the slide back. Then I compared these mags with the factory ones, and noticed that the little notch for the magazine release was in a different spot as well. This has no solution that I am aware of, as you would need to add some material to make the tab push the slide stop all the way up. They would sometimes make the slide fail to lock open after the last round because of this. I noticed that these magazines only pushed the slide stop half way up. The solution to this, is to file the front of the magazine where the rounds pass over. I was able to easily remove rounds from the factory magazine, while these new ones would need a LOT of force to remove by hand. This created a ton of friction on the top round, and on the following rounds as well. This is because of the front of the magazine feed lip is higher than the originals. Second thing that I noticed, is that the magazines will sometimes fail to chamber a round on the first round. The solution to excessive friction was to file down that tab to make it as long as the factory original.

This is due to the follower having too long of a tab that pushes the slide stop up. I noticed that some magazines would produce so much friction at this tab, that they would fail to cycle, as the follower would be jammed in the middle of the mag due to the tab grinding it to a halt. I bought a handful of these for a Bulgarian Makarov.įirst thing that I noticed, is that they created a lot of friction when being inserted into the magazine well. I have 2 Russian, 2 Bulgarian and 1 German so I am quite familiar with Maks and any issues they may have. I have been a Mak fan for 20 years and own 5. Maybe KS can correct this on the next batch? I hope this helps. I haven't been able to come up with a fix for this problem yet. This causes poor feeding because of the increased angle on the feed ramp and only slightly pushed up the slide stop after the last round is fired. This causes the mag to sit too low in the pistol. The magazine catch/release tab on the back of the mag is too high. This is an easy fix with a file or dremel. Fourth problem is the magazine is not cut deep enough where the bullet meets the pistols feed ramp. You need to bend these to match you factory mag angle. Third problem is the feed lips are bent to almost 90 degrees. This needs to be filed down to the factory specs for proper function. The second problem is the slide stop tab on the side of the mag sticks out too far and will drag in your mag well. The quick fix is to slightly bend the lips on the bottom of the mag to tighten up the gap in the floor plate. This is due to the magazine being made of thinner steel than the factory original mags. The first problem I noticed right out of the box was the floor plates are loose.

I have purchased other Keepshooting mags for the Sig Mosquito and the Walther P22 and was very pleased with the quality and function.

I purchased 3 of these mags having read the mostly positive reviews.
