So I got a new Iraq contractor AK, Shot it and I was using some steel case rounds, it seems to not keep feeding all the time good for a few then not good. On some rounds it seems like it is not catching the round and feeding into the tube others like the round was coming in cross ways. you think it is the rounds or the cases had 2 both same with same problems. thanks Grizzly

Probably a magazine issue or unhalal cartridges. Did you eat bacon before loading them up.

Sounds like your mags sit to low in the rear. Try pulling the mag back when you fire. If that fixes the issue you need a longer mag catch lever, or different mags.

bolt over base is almost always the mag too low.  Selector stop plate not fitted correctly, then mag catch cut to compensate.

If your mag feed lips are not touching the rails, this is usually the result.

not sure if its too late but i bought a contractor ak awhile back and had the exact same problem, sent it to the gun smith and they BS'd me and said it was the mags and charged me 60$ to replace a shapers hook.. i ended up selling it to a sheriffs deputy and bought a new one. The new production WASR 10s have a nice finish and they are reliable! not as cool as the contractor gun though
