So I picked up two 30 round AK mags at the York show, and when I got home and took them apart to clean up the cosmo, I discovered that one of them has a dent in the side about 2/3 of the way down that prevents the follower from passing through and being removed. I haven't tried to see how many rounds it can still hold, but it ain't 30.
Anybody have any ideas as to what tools or methods could be employed to push this dent from the inside out - especially considering the follower and spring can't be removed? I don't really have a lot of resources to work with like many tools or a bench vise, so it'd probably take some ingenuity.
The only other thing I can think to do is to drill the dent out, since it's really very small. Not ideal, but it should work... and I guess it's not totally uncool to have ghetto-repaired AK stuffs.
Thoughts?
