Hi-Cap mag wont wind

    The stock mag that came with my CA AUG this morning wont wind!
    I feel the springs tighten but no clicks. Its like there is
    a ratchet that is supposed to lock the winder as you wind
    to prevent unwind is not engaging.
    (I have Zero experience with mag issues)

    I dont have an allen key or star shaped tool that will fit to try
    and disassemble it yet to take a look so may need to call in home
    to my father that will have every tool under the sun.

    Anyone know what might be wrong?

    Fixed. There was a metal spring that was supposed to engage the
    main winder wheel to prevent it from unwinding. This was simply out of place.
    Problem solved.

    Same mag is now FUBAR.

    Had loads of other issues with it and ended up
    stripping it down completely and trying to fix without any joy.
    I had a separate thread asking for help with Zero replies.
    I must post some pics and a few questions about Hi-Caps in the near
    future.

    From now on only mid-caps for me. Hi-caps seem to be un-reliable.
