    I did not choose ergonomics over reliability.

    I choose to try some familiar things in unfamiliar combination expecting reliability.

    Buying parts from PSA should legally be considered gambling.

    So, I got my forms, mailing label, sent it back,
    And it has been returned and it arrived today.

    No explanation in the box what was done, what the issue was.

    I was expecting some info.

    Will go to the range and see what happens.

    They did the exact same thing to me. Gun manufacturers understandably want you to write a detailed explanation regarding what's wrong with the performance of your gun. The crappy ones like PSA and Arsenal don't return the favor by giving you a clue about what they did, if anything, to fix your gun. I hope your gun works. If not, call them and you'll get a bunch of crap about how it meets PSA's quality standards. Apparently there are milspec standards, industry standards, and then there are PSA standards.

    They did something.
    No failures to extract or eject.

    I used multiple samples two generations of Magpul mags, Chinese smooth back mags, ridged European mags, Yafo BHO follower mags, smooth euro mags, etc.

    I still have failures to feed.
    The 40 round euro ridged mags will not feed. About one in three of the 30 round euro mags will not feed. One euro mag falls out after the last round is stripped.

    So, all my Chinese mags, Magpul mags, are 100%.
    Some of my euro mags are 100%.

    Gun with some of the mags.



    Of note,
    These mags all run 100% in a Mak90, SAR, couple of NPAPS, an OPAP, an SKS-M, and a SIG556R.
    TAPCO mags fit in some or all of the guns at random. Surprising they are reliable, until they get too much tab wear. They seem softer than the Magpuls. Tapco mags do not fit the PSA fun out of the box.

    Comparing mags, looking through about six dozen various AK mags, there seems to be a ten or more degree range feed angle. The AK, SKS, and SIG based platforms all prove tolerant of this.

    This PSA AR47 likes the magazines with the tip of the bullets pointing up the most. It proves sensitive to the normal range of AK mags with the tips of the bullets closer to parallel. Something about its design makes it more sensitive/less tolerant of the normal variance of feed angles in AK magazines than other designs using AK magazines.

    This was for me an experience in trying a new design.
    There are a few other AK magazine fed AR models out there, and of course either 7.62 AR mag versions, SIGs, AKs, etc.

    If you love 7.62 x 39 and AK mags, there are cons to all of your options.

    This option I guess will work for you if you are going to test and dedicate specific mags for it, but sucks to just be one of thenstable you planned to use any of your mags on.
