Re: m4 feeding problems

have you taken the gun apart atall? if so is your hop unit spaced correctly? ie look into the magwell maybe its to far forward hence you have to push the mag forward, also is the mag catch its self ok?

I don't think frosty airsofter is encouraging you to take it apart, more have you and you could have messed up the alignment of the hop unit.

Some M4's are known for this, I hear the g&g raider is one, so much so a retailer offered to add a slip of velcro to the back of the mag well so that the mags are constantly pushed forward a little.

Check your mag catch for wear, pushing mags forwards "rotates" the front of the mag higher into the gun, if you have a mag catch that holds the mags high enough you shouldnt have an issue

Some M4's are known for this, I hear the g&g raider is one, so much so a retailer offered to add a slip of velcro to the back of the mag well so that the mags are constantly pushed forward a little.

this is correct, i wasnt hinting to take it apart purely if you have just double check your hop unit alinement, also the above could be the sign of a worm mag catch

Thanks so much everyone! It happens to be the g&g raider I have had a play with the catch that pages the mag forward and it seems to have worked thanks to everyone who has helped!
