A couple thoughts:
1. Are you sure your getting them in straight? Sometimes if you get them just a little canted they will bind. 2. If that's not the problem you may need to open the mag well a hair. Try to find where the tight spots are and relieve a little material in those spots. Just be careful!They may have not ground down the catch (one of the Saiga conversion steps) or most likely, 3.it may be the Crapco's. I would try normal AK mags first and then see how they fit. US mags are NOT the way to go with AK's.

I have an AK that won't take Tapco's. It's just the mag well size. I like using the old used mil surp steel mags in mine anyway.
I personally wouldn't whittle away at the magwell to put Tapcos in it.

^I wouldn't either, they say the whole purpose of those nice tight magwells are for no wobble with milspec mags, I'll sand down the mags or see if someone wants a trade...
