Feeding issue palco xm8

[Sam Waite]

Hi, i bought a palco xm8 and for some reason it does not continuously feed bb's into the gun. The magazine is a tight fit in the gun and it feeds continuously if i constantly wind the mag whilst firing the gun, if i dont, i'm llucky if it fires 1 shot. The mag i'm using is the stock mag it came with. Apart from that the rest of the gun SEEMS to be fine. Any help would be muchly appreciated

Firstly are you winding the mag up fully before firing the gun ? Its no use just putting BBs in and expecting it to feed, as the mag relies on a clockwork spring to pressure feed the BBs. If you are winding the mag fully then it could be that the spring pressure in the mag isn`t working. Remove the mag from the gun then top it up with BB`s and wind it up fully. There is a small peg in the top of the BB feed hole to hold the BBs in the mag. If you then pull the peg back you should get a constant stream of BBs flying out. If it`s just a dribble then the clockwork mech in the mag is dodgy.
