I have a Rommy g kit that was assembles on a Nodak Spud receiver designed for it.  So heres the question, why do bulgarian waffle mags lock in but my cheap Hungarian and romanian mags will not fit.  It seems they might be too wide.  They just won't go up far enough to lock.  Any ideas so I don't have to get rid of 6 mags.  
Thanks

I think that it's the back of the mag above the notch that locks into the mag well.  It appears to be rubbing against the receiver.  Now the questio should I open it up on the receiver or the mags?

Well I filed the back of the mags down until they fit.  Now all five of my mags work.  They lock in nice and tight and come out well too.  Problem solved.

I just got some Hungarian mags, 20 and 30 rd.  Of the half-dozen or so that I bought, 2 didn't fit right in my WASR.

One was two wide across the feedlips, the other wouldn't lock up at the rear by the mag release.  For the latter, a dremel worked to carefully work that lug down on the mag.  The former, after measuring with calibers across the lips and the sides of the mag, was a few hundreths too wide.  A bench vise fixed that.

I <3 my WASR.  It's a like a Fred Flintstone rifle.

Thanks fo rthe response I'm glad to here I'm not the only one and it's not the receiver.  I went with nodak cause I knew they were good but this worried me a little until I found that my mags just suck.  

Nodak good Hungarian mag bad.

No need now that I fit all five mags already.
