owensey Posted December 9, 2021 Posted December 9, 2021 Hey there, so I recently bought a whole bunch of metal mid-cap CYMA ak magazines (from Gunfire) to use with my LCT M70. They finally arrived, only for me to try and put them in the gun and not fit. The first time I tried I managed to get it out, but the second time it got completely jammed in and I had to force it out (breaking a bit of the magazine, but have already glued it back together). This struck me as strange as I had read both on this site and others that CYMA magazines were amongst the best to get for ak-style guns. It seems there are some slight differences between the LCT magazine that came with the gun, and the CYMA ones, which again is odd as my mate's Galil magazine even fits better. I'm wondering if this is a case of trying to get a refund from Gunfire (which I'd rather not after forking out £40 for the customs clearance), or if there's a way I can make them fit. Cheers folks.
Nick G Posted December 9, 2021 Posted December 9, 2021 some comparison photos would be helpfull so we can see what the actual differences are.
owensey Posted December 9, 2021 Author Posted December 9, 2021 Sorry, attached is some pictures of the mags compared.
Tactical Pith Helmet Posted December 10, 2021 Posted December 10, 2021 My CYMA AK mags dont fit a friends LCT. The thin lip on the LCT mags are prone to chipping. I believe that you can file to fit IIRC, but if you try it, use sandpaper rather than a file as a smidgen too much and they will be loose as hell. The CYMA mags leave the factory a trifle too thick for CYMAs sometimes. Couple of strokes of an emery board is sometimes required. If the spring in CYMA AKs mag release was a bit stronger, I wouldn't know as much about borrowing/fitting/bodging mags to fit tbh... Nick G 1
emilianoksa Posted December 30, 2021 Posted December 30, 2021 I always believed the LCT guns had propriety mags.
