Airsoft mag insides

anybody know where i can get pics of what the insides of a assualt rifle mag looks like

Can you at least narrow it down to a model and type? Low-cap? Hi-cap? Mid-cap? Or do you mean Real Gun?

JTV · March 2nd, 2006, 22:42

hi-cap for ak-47

Greylocks · March 3rd, 2006, 07:16

I dont have a pic handy. It's a series of gears and a feeding tube, lots of springs.
Something I'd personally bring to an expert.

If you're reasonably mechanically inclined, taking apart a hicap isn't too difficult. Do it slowly and place everything on the table in the same spot and try to remember the order in which things were removed. The coiled spring is captive so it won't pop out and fly all over the place.

I was fortunate enough to be given two non functional M16 hicaps by a friend of mine. Never took apart a mag before. I casually took them apart while watching TV, unjammed one and fixed the other, stuck them back together and ended up with two more hicaps for free.

Patience and attention to detail will take you far.

No, you cant build one out of Lego and Tinker Toys....

lol i know i cant build one out of lego and tinker toys.....i work at a machine shop and i can easily produce on i just was wanting to see how they were fed out at the top and what not...

....Most are plastic inside.... Making one at a machine shop is what we like to call... excessive.... But I'm sure someone can take a picture with a ruler beside theirs, the internals tend to stay attached to themselves once you pull it out of the shell...

JTV · March 3rd, 2006, 16:52

i dont need mesaure ments on size i can get all of that just from the empety mag well and i would wrather make on then pay 100 bucks for some plastic peice

gandar · March 3rd, 2006, 16:55

Well... if you don't need measurements from the mag, what exactly are you requesting? I meant that someone could take out the internals of their mag and put a ruler or tape measure beside it, so that you could see the dimensions of it. And please, stop using run-on sentences, and learn some basic spelling. Your posts are painful to read at the best of times.

JTV · March 3rd, 2006, 16:57

i thought you meant the out side casing of it. it would be nice to have a pic of the internals and some measurements yes but a diagram would be good to.

Be careful about producing anything related to airsoft in a machine shop. There are very severe laws about making Replicas, and parts of replicas.
Being 16, the law may not bite you too hard, but the owner of the machine shop could lose his business. I'm sure they'd be very pissed with you.
If you cant afford a magazine, save the money and wait. As said elsewhere, check if you can play first.
This is NOT a cheap sport, parts are expensive, and most games are not free either.

It's a highcap mag Grey, the internals, if you saw them alone, would not even closely resemble anything that might even remotely have anything to do with a gun. But I do understand what you're saying, and you're right. I just can't see it being feasible.

JTV · March 3rd, 2006, 18:44

yeah i know i though about that 2 but if i just made the parts then assemembled them at home no one would know the diffrence

Greylocks · March 3rd, 2006, 19:19

Listen, you are going through lots of risks and troubles for yourself and for others. Why dont you wait until you can afford, and legally buy, what you need? Heck, can you even play anywhere?
I know it's unlikely that anyone will check, or even notice, but is it worth the big hurry?
