Mid-Cap feeding problem, need help

(1/2) > >>

GenChaos:
I got 4 of Evike's BAMF mags but they are having feeding issues with my VFC Scar-L. The first 25 BB's only fly about 10-15 feet. Then after that they start flying normal. I tried loading the mags only half full to see if it was spring tension issue but still has the same results. Prior I "worked" the mags in by loading and unloading them around 5-6 times each. Anyone got a clue what the problem is and how to fix it?

Well with mag issues usually my direction is to take them down completely where you can split the halves(pending that is doable on these), then put a little silicone on a cloth and wipe down the channel the BB's ride down. Reassemble and more often than not it's solved. If you can't remove the halves, then a little silicone in the mag can sometimes slick things up to make them work. Beware though he silicone in the mags is going to get on your BB's and work it's way into your hopup. Generally it's not too bad of an issue but it depends on the gun and bucking as well as it's role. With something single shot only it can take a long time to work the silicone off the bucking, on a full auto it's allot less of an issue.

I wouldn't fully disassemble the mags unless you really have to, because they're a huge pain to reassemble IMO (at least shorty PMAGs are). Getting the main spring back in is tricky, to say the least (Luke, if you have any tips for that I'm all ears, because I just rendered one mag useless by tangling the main spring up while putting it back in).

luke213:
I haven't had a ton of experience with the newer mags so that may be more difficult now. On all the mags I've got I haven't had a problem tearing them down and putting them back together. Over the years I've had allot of gunk get in mags;)

BAMF mags have a nice internals set up for maintenance. Meaning it easier to disassemble/assemble. Than most mid caps.
I would start with "breaking in" the mags, filling fully and emptying. And go from there.

Another question, is the gun bone stock? Or is the nozzle different by any chance, or a new barrel/bucking? Small things in the hop up area can make big differences.
