Sad to say the "factory" clip does not fit in a WASR 10/63. The MFER itself fits but the clip does not mate with the WASRs indent on the front of the "magwell."

Do you guys make a special part for this or am I SOL with the MFER. Other than that it does work very well.

I tried to do everything in it with no luck. It appears there is a little more of a metal lip that prevents the MFER from keying in.

From your website:

"The AK47 MFER is designed to be a drop in part with no modification to the host weapon. It fits all AKM pattern AK47 style rifles along with 7.62 Saigas...."

Tried to install mine, found that it doesn't fit Stock 7.62 Saigas...

To avoid confusion, you might want to change the product description to:

"It fits all AKM pattern AK47 style rifles along with Converted 7.62 Saigas...."

Well I'm back to report, I got really impatient yesterday on my home home from work so I decided to work on my rifle. Being pissed I hammered the MFER onto my WASR and it "fits". The clip is mashed to hell but it's holding steady and I locktited the screws for the trigger guard. I'll be going to the range tonight for pictures and testing. I'll post those tonight or tomorrow.

I got my second MFER in and installed in in my wasr-10/63. i had to bend the lip up on the fron of the mag well to get it to engage. However now I have a new problem. Its very difficult to get the mag into the rifle. I insert the mag just like I do with the arsenal but something is not lining up right and i can't rock the mag back. I think the mag is catching on something. The MFER works AWESOME with my SGL21 so its gotta be something odd in the WASR. anyone else with a wasr run into this?

Measure the distance between the latch and receiver lip on both guns.

I got the wasr out last night and I compared it side by side to the arsenal. the MFER sat to far to the rear on the wasr as compared to the Arsenal. I used the old WECSOG dremel on the front lip about a millimeter and now the regular steel mags lock in like they do in the arsenal.

it figures. stupid century monkeys mill job. take off too much on the sides not enough on the front.
