As I've mentioned, I'm no gun smith, or any kind of authority on AKs. With that said, I have converted 3 Saigas and installed the bullet guides. I had some problems with a store-bought bullet guide, so I made my own. My bullet guides work like a charm, with FMJ and HP rounds. (The store-bought guide was too short and too thin)
In my view, you have a couple of options. One would be to use a dremel, as someone else has mentioned, and dremel a small bullet ramp into the lower part of the barrel/breach. Many AKs already have this ramp in the barrel, and some don't. The problem with doing this is that it would also remove the chrome lining where you dremel and polish the ramp. Probably something you would not want to do yourself.
The second option would be to try and adjust your mag fit so the rounds would be tilted a little more with the front/tip of the round pointing more upward toward the breach. Also, if your bullet guide is not extending rearward enough to be close to the front of the mag, that could be a problem. Not sure how one would extend the bullet guide, but it should be as close to the front of the mag (when installed) as possible, even if it is touching the mag just a hair.
Also, and I'm just throwing out ideas here, you might have someone with a mig-welder to build up the area near the rear edge of the bullet guide and add material to raise the edge a bit higher and then smooth it back down with a file/dermal.
Again, just a few thoughts and ideas. Also, I thought the older SARs were good to go? Maybe not.
Good luck.
