MAG brand mags?
7 January, 2012, 19:20
Does anybody here have any experience with MAG brand magazines? Any decrease in FPS or failures after use?
Thanks for your time,
-Joe

Re: MAG brand mags?
I never had any problems with the ones I had until I got a VFC 416 and they'd lock into place but never feed in that gun.

Re: MAG brand mags?
The spring pressure can force the following BB to push the loading nozzle up and cause mis feeds and inconsistent FPS readings

Re: MAG brand mags?
I used their 120 round M4 mags, which were fantastic.
Now I use their 190 round M14 mags which are... odd.
If you fill them right up the pressure of the spring will force the BBs into your hop up with way to much force and the round will only go a few meters. If you only put about 120 rounds in them though they feed fine. It just seems like an odd thing to overlook for such a solid manufacturer.

Depends on the hop unit, ICS can struggle with the back pressure, Madbull 3-in-1 feeds flawlessly. Best magazines I have.

Re: MAG brand mags?
Strange, I've not had any problems with an ICS feeding from MAG mags, but my VFC which never fed from a single one of their mags is fitted with a madbull ultimate!
I think that guns and mags is just one of those things that can vary from gun to gun. It's the same as king arms mags, some guns feed flawlessly and others won't even get them to lock in place.

Re: MAG brand mags?
there great, if you have trouble with feeding open the little screw/cap at the bottom and push the spring up or place a small bit of foam inside mite decrease the mag capacity by 1 or 2 bbs but then will feed perfectly... well they do for me

MAG AK Waffle Mags worked flawlessly in my ICS AKS74U...
Until I left the BBs in them for a week. Don't do it, it is stupid, and my fault entirely
.
The MAGS are great though, import the metal ones if you can.

Re: MAG brand mags?
I used their M4 mags in my CA and ICS Armalites with little to no issues, the MP5 ones in my ICS MP5, and the AUG ones in my CA AUG. All feed flawlessly, except for the MP5 versions, which just needed to load and unload due to a slightly stiff spring. Now they all feed fine. Thoroughly recommended.

Re: MAG brand mags?
I have 5 metal MAG 190rd mags and they all feed flawlessly in my cxp. The one problem I have is the feel of the mags, feels kinda like a blackboard :L but that's solved by wearing a pair of gloves
my mate also has a number of the 120rd plastic ones and they are great! Cheap too
Many things for sale:
cxp plus lots of extras
bfg and blanks
lots of kit
Have a look at my posts and make me an offer!
