Fix my gun SKS detachable mags

Post image

I was able to get the ProMag Archangel magazine to fit in my SKS after trimming the edges a bit. It is still a pretty tight fit, though.

Now I am trying to figure out if there is a way to close the bolt with an empty magazine inserted. Does it remain open or am I doing something wrong. I know I have to keep the bolt open to insert the mag.

I have heard people mention some kind of workaround or “hack,” but I am not sure if that applies to inserting the magazine with the bolt closed or something else.
