Sick man,

When doing fast magazine changes, grab your fresh mag first, then use the top of your magazine to push on the magazine release, and have the fresh mag pop off the mag-release button and push into the empty mag to fling the empty magazine and then insert fresh mag. Its called the AK Karate chop. Or you can use your thumb while holding the fresh magazine to just simply let the empty magazine drop free and then immediately insert fresh mag.

I'll give these another go. The first time I tried doing them that way I was having troubles.

Takes practice, but it will save you time. Who knows maybe with this mod it isnt possible. But thats how I did mag changes on the type 81

The tab for the release and the trigger guard make it so you have to angle the mag to get it in there. Since this is an SKS and not an AK it's not quite the same technique. I tried all of them and ended up finding this way the easiest/fastest. Need more practice. This was about my second time running drills with this setup that day. And today was the first time I ran the drills live. Was faster by the end of the sesh. Be faster next time too.
