How fast is the CA36 firing? It could be that you aren't letting the magazine wind enough before firing.

Probably a long shot but when I had one on my g3 I had the same trouble, turned out to be a staple off a bag of bbs had got in might be worth just having a look to see if theres an obstruction

Thanks Bratton..i will check! do you think i should open the compartiment where the BBs are stocked in the mag?

Re: Star C-Mag. Feeding issues



The best way to check would be the take out the mags, hold back the small tab that holds in the bbs and wind it. They shoud start vomiting out.

Then, wind it for a while (with the tab closed) to build up pressure, an then open the tab. A load of bbs should fly out.

If the above two are fine, put the mags in the gun, wind for a fair while to build up a lot of pressure, and then start firing.

If the mag is slighlt loose in the gun, then hold it securely in whilst testing.

When it happened to me i could see the blockage with a torch down the feed tube, if you do open it just be careful not to loose anything

Man you are... GREAT always with the right advise.. one question Keeper, can i wind the mag with BBs inside, the way of winding in the Star C-mag, is a thing that you push out and then you turn it..maybe a spring not sure.

Thanks again man

Re: Star C-Mag. Feeding issues

You should be fine to wind it without it being in the gun an having bbs inside. My apologies though, I've been assuming it's electric. If it's manual then it takes a bit more effort to to the tests, but it'll be worth it if you do find out what's wrong.

Re: Star C-Mag. Feeding issues

Bah, your english is fine. Better than some british guys on here....

Does it work well with other magazines? If not it could be the gun's problem. Again though, do the little test things I outlined.

Keeper i have just made the test , when i pull this little bridge that hold the BBS ..they go out but they do not fly they just go out slowly, so i think there is not enough pressure this is why is not feeding the gun fast enought..i thing, like in a high cap that you have to wind it all the time if not it fires blank..

i think not sure

Bratton, hen you were opening this little brigde that hold the BBs , they are supposed to fly...like in the mid caps..cos this one it does not do it,they just go out and that it...
