What gives?  It feeds properly every time except when I emty the mag and put a fresh one in.  About half of the time the bullet never leaves the magazine and I just get a click.

Don't ride the carrier foreward.
Pull it all the way to the rear and let it slam home.

Are you sure you have the magazine locked in properly?

+1 this is it.  
Anything else and it wouldn't just happen on the first round out of a mag.

Your problem is that AKs do not have a "charging handle". They have an operating handle.
In other words, stop thinking of it (and treating it) like an AR.
