Another thing is the spring,
is this mags' problem or what? how do i solve it?  |
I noticed sometimes my mags wouldn't fully load unless I really forced my loader to feed initially when I got them.
1. If you haven't already broke in your magazines. Load them up fully and leave them for a day, then release all the bbs out on the following day and repeat the method 2-3 more times. If this does not fix your problem proceed to the next step.
2. Take the spring out of each mag, stretch out the springs, and put them back into the mags. Now check if your problem is solved.
If the problem still persists
*READ up on the following aka use Google, do the method above first then see if that fixes your problem, if it does not proceed to the next step.
3. Put two SMALL drops of silicone oil into the channel and load up the mags fully. Leave for a couple hours to a day (preferably), then release bbs from mag and repeat process 2-3 times.
*NOTE DO NOT REUSE THESE BBs IN YOUR GUN. Throw them away or at someone. Getting oil in your Hop Up Unit/On your Rubber is a NO NO, it WILL ruin your Hop Up Rubber for sure! Don't even fire your gun with the mags until you've finished.
4. Once BBs have been removed and disposed of, open up the mags and thoroughly wipe down the channel in each magazine. Reassemble you mags once you have done so and test fire them.
If the problem persists still proceed to Google for further help. This was the method I did to various magazines I own, certain steps fixed my problems and weren't necessary in doing. A good rule of thumb though is that when you get new magazines, before even testing them in your gun you should always break them in (Step 1), that alone should help with your magazines feeding properly.
Personally I'd trust the internet over my method, which might be similar, research a little on what other people do first before taking action. Good luck
