[QUOTE="criticalbass, post: 1055115, member: 711"] I have been into Makarovs for years, own a bunch of them. I don't recall ever hearing of this particular problem before, and have spent lots of time on the Makarov forum on Gunboards. Something you might try is to put 8 rounds in the problem mag and look closely at the top one. See if it is flatter relative to the others, that is, is the bullet end setting at a lower angle than the others? If so, whack the back of the mag against the heel of your hand or some other non marring flat place and try it. I have had this problem on other mags, but never with a Mak. One other possibility is that this mag is not getting fully into the gun when it's full. If your grip screw is a little too long it will hold the mag in place, but a little low resulting in, well, you know already. I have posted your question on the makarv forum at [url]http://forums.gunboards.com/showthread.php?163688-magazine-problem[/url] and expect some of the real experts will have an answer for you.
