Mec-Gar Mag Compatibility Problem

If your mag catch is o.k., you may need to take a needle file and "tune" the mag catch hole on the mags. Compare the mag catch holes on your Mauser mags to the Mec-Gar mags. I had a similar problem with the two Mauser mags that came with my 06/73 Mauser Parabellum. It didn't take much to get the mag catch to fit into the mag catch hole correctly and solve the problem. My mags now work 100%
