Fix my gun SKS Fail To Feed

Gallery image

I've been having this issue with my SKS where the 5th round feeds vertically and the bolt carrier slams into the side of it. This happens between 3 and 5 times per 100 rounds

I've seen some solutions online but don't fully understand the terminology used to fix it

Has anybody else had this issue and know how to solve it?

Sound like it's gotta be a mag issue. If you have access to a known good mag I'd start there. If the issue doesn't persist with a known good magazine you can start by trying to fix it. Or you can buy a new one.
As others have said it would be interesting to check if the numbers match on magazine and other parts of gun.
Idk where you are but if you do want to buy a stock style mag I have one I don't need you can dm me and we can work out someyhing
