Re: ICS MP5 problem

What mags are you using?

Re: ICS MP5 problem

Check how the mag is seating and that it is feeding into the hop correctly - it's very common on the large caps when either you forget to wind it or the spring is going.
Have a listen to the mag - you might find it is unwinding as you are firing because it's on the way out. I have one that plays up like this - half a dozen shots and you can hear it spinning down on the ratchet.

i am using hicaps, i wind far enough but now it doesnt fire them at all, all my 5 mags are quiet wobbily in the mag housing though!

Re: ICS MP5 problem

Is it a plastic body or a metal body, plastic mp5's over time have a tendency to split as their bodies are two halves held together by a couple of scews, if its a metal body mp5 what make of mags are you using?

(1) Try a different mag.
(2) crank the hop all the way off.
(3) look into the magwell and fire a few shots off making sure the nozzle moves ok.

If it fires ok with different mag then its a mag problem.

If it fires ok when hop is off its a hop problem.

its is a metal body, i use hi-caps (230 rnds), the nozzle moves fine but it does it with all mags!

Re: ICS MP5 problem

you should really try it with a mid cap (that works) to make sure its not the mags but the gun..bit of a catch 22 really,where are you based? is it possible to find someone who has a working mag to try it out...if you lived in london it would be easy to help you out

Hi fella,

Im also in Plymouth with an ICS MP5, my mags that came with the gun will fit yours fine, your welcome to give them a try?

Re: ICS MP5 problem

I had to file my JG hi-caps to get them to feed properly in my ICS MP5. ICS mags were fine though.
