MAG Brand 130rds Problems.

[Schlyder]

That sucks man, I'm glad I got mine working. Yeah, get good quality mags. A gun is no good if it doesn't feed ammo.
Now, when you have BBs in the mag... if you pull back the lip holding them in the mag, do the BBs shoot out, or do you have to shake or tap the mag for them to come out?? If the BBs come flying out after you pull the lip back on a loaded mag. Then the mag may not be the problem, and the gun just doesn't like the mags.

Blitzed, try Schlyder's suggestion...

I had this problem all last season with my 2 MAG brand magazines, seems madbull is the common factor so I'll try to get some bastards. What other brands do you all suggest as I don't know any bastard reps in my area (yet)?

Get some Metal Tech .25 white BB's there the best performing BB's I found in it's price range.

They are an Airsoft Elite rebrand.

The BB's do not fly out when i release the retention clip at the top. Im using TSD .20's by the way, if it makes a difference. I'm going to try king arms magazines now.. They have higher quality from what i've read.

Ive heard that the KA Magazine have a lip problem, they don't feed without shaving it partaily down.

sounds like the spring is sticking, there is no pressure on the BBs in the tube.
Spray inside the mag with silicone spray. Fill with bbs to almost full, then use something long and thin to push the BBs down, you should feel/see the spring pushing the Bbs back up the tube. Keep working the spring a bit. Once you can get the spring pushing the BBs back up into the lip, it should be good. You will know it's working correctly if you fill the mag, and when you pull back the little feed lip on the mag, the BBs should fly out easily.

Alright a little update now, i lubricated the internal spring and the lips' spring. compressed and decompressed both of them a few times, filled the magazine, popped it into my GR16A3, the birst bb shot out perfectly on semi, then it wouldnt shoot. Switched it to full auto, wouldnt shoot. Pulled the magazine out, bb's fell out of the magwell, looked into the hopup chamber, and there were a few bb's inside.. turned the gun the right way up and the bb's fell out. decompressed the bb retention lip, the bbs flew out all over the place (stepping on them everywhere now for geez's sakes.). So.. Now im thinking it's my hopup.. But just to make sure im gonna load up my G&G hicap that came with the gun, just to see if it's still feeding properly..

[Blitzed]

Alright so it's not my hopup since i just went through a good 300 rounds in my G&G Hicap mag that came with the gun. All the bb's fed flawlessly, at this point im exceptionally frustrated. This dumb MAG brand magazines are just utter crap in my opinion now. I guess ill keep trying to tinker around with them until my king arms come in..

[NoGear]

don't feed them max my 100 rnd mag brand can only hold 50 ish its because the bb's will push the seams out and bb's will get traped in. you can also bang the bottom of the mag on something like wood and it should feed for a wile
the trick is to speed load them *barly any pressure* then once you have to use force stop.

I have about 20 KA 68 round mags, and never had a misfeed from any of them in any of my 5 Armalites. I think they're excellent mags for the money.

I heard good things from Mag brand and only 1 out of 8 feeds past 50 rounds with out pushing the seam out of place. I guess im scared to take a risk.

mabie buy one King arms mag and if she feeds like a charm then buy more simple solution without to much risk

[Crunchmeister]

Some people report feed issues with KA 120 round mags, and the .5mm cut trick usually fixes those. My mags are all 68, and those are very reliable. A few drops of silicone oil once in a while and they work fine for a long time.

I do have a few random, mystery brand 120 round mags that feed like crap if I load more than 90-ish BBs into them.

[Blitzed]

Yeah, im gonna order a VN KA 85 rounder mag. For my DMR project.

Anyone have any experience with the MAGPUL Green Label 20 round PMAGs?

Just wondering if they are worth the shipping costs and the basic overall cost. Probably better quality and feeding from the reviews I have seen.
