mecgar magazine

I have MecGar magazines as well, they do the same thing as yours.

I noticed they've made a design flaw on them. The funny little stud on the side of the magazine is there to activate a lever inside frame to hold toggle action open after last round. For some reason that stud contacts that lever when there still is one round in the magazine.

I decided to modify aftermarket magazines to function properly, rather than modify the gun. (Modifying gun would likely lead into gun working fine with MecGar magazines, but not locking toggle action at all with authentic P08 magazines).

Just simply remove right side wooden grip panel, and see exactly what spot of the little stud on the magazine contacts with that toggle locking mechanism. Grab a fine file and file that contact spot down a little on that stud.

Worked like a magic.
