Mags or gun?

stephenw

Hello,
Before christmas I treated myself to a G&G GR15 raider. when i bought the gun it came with a high cap and i bought 5 KA 120rd mags aswell. within the last 2 weeks the mid caps haven't been feeding on full auto. they feed fine on semi, so i strecthed the spring inside a little bit. I shoot full auto and the gun fires every other shot. And yet I can shoot full auto no problem with the high-cap. Anybody any ideas on why this might be?
Thanks

Seeing as I know a guy who had nothing but feeding issues with his KA mids in his Raider but no issues when he used my G&P mids, I'd say mags.

a lot of the KA m4 mids i have used are pants that is why i got rid of them and use MAG branded ones instead.


i would go with mags as your problem.

probably should include that they were feeding fine in my friends PDW the week before, they stopped working all of a sudden

KA just don't feed at all, and jam at anything above 1/3 full in my experience, +1 on mag brand though!

The only thing I've found about KA mids is that they are quite a small magazine - in maybe 3 out of 7 stanag mag wells, they needed to be 'buffed' out with a bit of card + electrical tape, and they then fed flawlessly. In near 3 years of using them, I've never had a problem, beyond having to buff them out in some guns. What was happening is they weren't engaging with the hop up chamber properly, and needed a little bit extra to 'boost' it up the magwell.

In my experience, the best thing to do with all mags is to line them up with the one that came with your gun, and look for any dimensional differences. If the mag that came with it is bigger, or smaller, then you file the new mag, or add card + electrical tape.

PS: I can't remember if I've seen it mentioned, but you're better off not filling mags to full capacity - leave approx 20% empty...helps with the feeding
