not feeding

huggygtir

hi have a m14 that not feeding right from any of the high caps i have tried different high caps and shoot about 3 or 4 bbs then dry fire
if i use a mid cap it feeds grand?
any body got any ideas please they verson 7 gear boxs and it happens in my friends gun as well

Load up the high-caps and wind the wheel 'til it has a reasonable amount of tension behind it, then pull back the little nub at the feed tube, see what happens. If they all píss out everywhere, it's not the mags, if they don't píss out everywhere, it's the mags. This is of course presuming you're using decent BBs and the right mags for your M14.

hi there tried this all ready and they fly out of the mags and have used 2different types of bbs

What M14 is that? manufacturer can be quit useful...
Other elements responsible for this mey be (except obvious listed below) hop chamber and loading nozzle, however the fault there would be quit rare and unlike to happen with description of the probem.
Hi-caps are probably at fault there. Come down to your nearest store, and try to use brand new one, see how you get on.

Listen . I have this problem with my m4. To test if this fix will work , wind your mags fully. Then Push the mag UP and TOWARDS the front of the gun. If it fires perfectly happy days this fix will work. If it doesnt then sorry. Anyway the solution is quite simply acctually... Just put electrical or masking tape if you have no electrical tape around the top of the mag. The top of the tape should be OVER the part where the mag catch acctually catches the mag (Like a rectangle dint in the mag near the top) Wrap the tape around until its tough enough to get in and then it should be fixed. Theres a pic of where to put the tape in the attachments.

Its the M14. M14`s dont have this issue (you either have g&g or cyma-shape mags in 7,62 size as most of real-steel versions).
Chambering mags in M14s is quite similar in principle to AKs - front of the mag has to be slide in to chamber, and when ''nob'' in the top front of the mag is locked in place, push direction up to lock rear of the mag (where mag-release-button is).
Due to lack of reply from the creator of the thread I would consider subject dead anyway ;/

hi it will only feed right if i hold the mag up its a tm in a ebr kart body
but my friends tm m14 is the same
if i use a mid cap mag it shoots and feeds ok once i use a high cap problems

my own cyma m14 works fine with all the mags

maciek87

hmmm... This can be bit dodgy now anyway...
put two mags of top of eah other, and compare the lenght of the feeding neck... maybe (in some weird way) hi-caps have this a little bit shorter...?
Good place to start anyway...

The high cap is abt 3mm higher than the mid cap other wise no difference

maciek87

Well, that makes things quit obvious than, if thats the only difference..

huggygtir

Ur telling me

maciek87

Well, what comes to my mind is the feeder to long, it can move the chamber backwards that-tiny-little-annoying-bit where mag inserted in the chamber (chamber feed goes too deep in). Just when you put the mag in, first 3-5 rounds can go in - before the mag will be locked second later...
I`d try to file down the difference, and check... Worse case scenario:
I`m wrong - and mag will still work anyway, because of same lenght feeder as other ones...

I`ve said it makes the problem`s quit obvious, because... its the only difference between the mags you observed, so try to rectify that.
