Mag seemed great until I loaded actual ammo into it. First, tried pushing 5 rounds from stripper clip. What a mess; follower "stove-piped"(assumed a vertical position) and I had to remove mag to get ammo out. Tried loading 15 single rounds by hand pushing on front and back of cartridge; stove-pipe of follower and jammed cartridges. Tried again, same. Removed mag to make sure follower was pointed in right position, it was. Tried yet again with 15 rounds (that is 10 in mag); jam city, stove-pipe of follower and more stuck rounds. Perhaps point of bullet is rubbing on front of magazine or breech of barrel, but I tried to avoid this issue. Shouldn't be that sensitive anyway. Removed and replaced with original Mauser 5 round mag, worked like a champ. These mags seem to work by their reviews, not mine, wish it did, ideas?

Had lots of grief removing bottom mag plate on 1944 refurb Turk G98. Decades old cosmoline. Could not get mag to lock in. Also had trouble getting removed plate to lock back in, but it did. Mag locked into my K98 (Yugo markings) w/o problem. Fine, since I wanted it on K98 anyway! Well made product.

Jusr got it a few minutes ago in the mail and I all ready have it on my kar 98 had to do no Modification at all it just simply snapped in place and I loaded it up with 20 rounds no problem they all fed and ejected just fine when you have all 20 in it Definitely adds a bit of weight to the rifle but over all 5 out of 5

Arrived quickly, well constructed, well finished and even more pleasing, an exact fit to my 1915 GEW Mauser. You cannot do better at this price or even twice that which the competing sellers charge. I did not nor will not try this on a K98 as it not designed nor correct for the later Mauser.
