Not uncommon.
Depending on who did the conversion, the mag wells can be fine or just a tad undersize.
In my experience, the receiver sheetmetal at the rear edge of the mag well can have some burrs sticking out from sloppy milling, or the entire rear edge needs to be dressed back a smidge (file-try-repeat; sorta like the measure twice, cut once approach) for mags to lock into place. What was happening was the rear of the mag was contacting the back edge of the mag well too soon. Dressing back the rear edge of the mag well (the receiver sheet metal and the front edge of the mag catch lever base) just a bit was all it took.
The other place to look is the top edge of the mag catch lever. On many of the WASRs that I've "tweaked" for others, the top edge of the mag catch lever was cut at an angle, and merely required a light dressing on the high side with a narrow file (an ignition points file is perfect -- Sears has them) and the mag catch snapped into place readily. Easy to press and remove the mags, too.
The key is to take a "sticky" mag and the unloaded WASR in bright light or use a flashlight and EXAMINE CLOSELY the mag and where it makes contact, then address those areas accordingly.
HTH,
