Yes, it probably is your magazine. You should replace it with a factory fixed magazine.

Two other people I've talked to have said the 40 and larger mags have a problem. The only other alternative is a drum. Haven't seen them for some time now. Might try the 30's, I have a few and they work fine but the BlenderWizard has the right idea.

Several SKS owners in my area (including me) have had poor function with extended magazines. When the high-cap (20-round fixed mag and 30-round detachable type) mags were replaced with the 10-round factory fixed mag, problems ended.
Another point to consider is your ammo. It seems, from my experience, that the SKS doesn't like brass-cased ammo. We've had malfunctions with brass-cased stuff that disappeared when we switched to the cheaper steel-cased cartridges.

Anyone know where to get one of these fixed 20-rounders, besides SKSman or a gun show? Any online retailers

BlenderWizard, let me look in the garage. I may have an extra if you're interested.
