I bought a NMH 91 and it came with one MAG so I bought 2 TAPCO AK47 MAGS....the Tapco don't fit right. Am I doing something wrong. Where can I get the right MAGS at a good deal? Why won't Tapcos work?

When you say "don't fit right" what does that mean? Won't lock in? Locks in crooked, etc?
Many NHM-91s came with a little rivet on the receiver where the tang on the rear of the mag would make contact (Just under the release lever). Look to see if there's one and if so, chisel/drill it out. |
| I had problems with the fitment of the Tapco mags on my MAK-90. I checked the dimensions of both front and rear lock tangs against a Chinese steel mag, and they were substantially larger/wider on the Tapco. I ground the plastic/polymer tangs down until the Tapcos fit and operated smoothly. Now they install/lock smoothly, and seem to run fine. YMMV. |

mine has this. what was the purpose for it? To keep you from using 30 rd mags 
The rivet comes out easily.
