    How does an articulated platform work? Will one work in this magazine body?


    Can the original platform be modified?

    Vincent,

    Re: ZB39 Magazine

    I can tell you "the articulated platform" won't work for 7.62x54R. I've tried it. You have to remove the box spring guide under the follower to have the articulated follower.

    The articulated follower will work for 7.62 x 51 Nato but the last round will jam or not feed. Grinding about .032" of the horns of the magazine follower will solve the "last round" issue (difference between a rimmed and rimless case).

    Joe
