If you HAVE to do that, yes, do very light sanding to the MAG. Do not touch the mag well.Mail call:
3 Yugo BHO mags, 1 Bake, and a Hungarian tanker thanks to @Augustatrader. 1 Bake from Jake on ODT(although I got in contact with him through IG thanks to @Augustatrader as well). 1 Polish fat bake grip from Lee's Mags...

These damn bakes aren't fitting in the magwell. It might be time to break out the hand file and do a little fitting. I don't give a fuck about Tapco or Promags not fitting. I do care about bakes not fitting.
Would it be sacrilege to take some sandpaper to the Bakelite mags? It's just barely not clearing right here on both sides. I wouldn't have to remove much material...

I REALLY DON'T want to fuck with the magwell. Steelies lock up tighter than a ticks ass on this thing.
You had to get a priority box?I shipped that Yugo today USPS Priority for $15 plus $10 for $600 of insurance. Next Day Was $45 without insurance. Priority was gonna make it in 2 days so I didn't feel the need to divulge any information.
No, I’m not sure how that works but even when I sent the honey to stang, I used a box I had but the weight made it ship priority.You had to get a priority box?

No, a Priority Box HAS to go Priority, but a regular box can go either way depending on size and weight.
240That's what I'm thinking. What grit sandpaper y'all think? Probably start a little more coarse and then when it's close to fitting move up to some finer sandpaper.
Is the magwell perfectly square? Like measure corner to corner and side to side. If it's out of square, you can touch it up with a file. If it IS square...whew I dunno what to tell you then. It would be your call. I'd sure hate to sand on some pretty bakes though, but ppl sand steels all the time...
I'll have to fuck with it later tonight. I might end up seeing if someone who has experience filing a magwell on an AK wants to help me out in exchange for some ammo, cash or even a bake. I have a few more coming. I probably don't want to go sanding on all 6 bakes. If I do end up filing down the magwell it won't require removing very much material at all to get the bakes to fit. I'm just so conflicted. Steelies fit tight as hell but I wanna be able to flex with the bakes.
I will disagree with KK on this one. Bakelites are mil-spec mags. If they do not fit, gun is not mil-spec.If you HAVE to do that, yes, do very light sanding to the MAG. Do not touch the mag well.
