I ran across a guy that has an ak underfolder. He has these 60 year old steel magazines they looked a bit rusty. He said his ak jams after he does around 7 magazine dumps and it gets hot. I pulled up Wolff gun spring site showed him that he can buy brand new springs for his old steel magazines. He thought $8.99 for new springs was to high. So he buys some cheap possibly Promag ak47 mags. He then tells me the cheap magazines he bought fall out every shot hit the ground and pop several rounds out of the magazine. I again show him Wolff springs. He then says I should have ordered them instead.
I told him to go home take apart all his old steel magazines clean them. He did got back to me said the insides were rusty so were the springs. I then told him to only load 20 rds each do his mag dumps. He did said that worked fine and he loaded 30rds again and had failures. I told him his 60+ rusted out magazine springs need replaced with quality Wolff springs. So he bought 3 pack. Installed them and it ran like a sewing machine.
This was over 8 months of going back and forth with this guy. If he had listened to me in the 1st place he would have saved money in the long run.
After all this he still wants to buy cheap mags, and other things. Do you all run into people this stubborn? He isn't exactly a friend but more of an acquaintance i meet at the gun range.
Another thing why does he have to do mag dumps? You can't hit crap anyway.
