mag well too loose

[BALBOSA]

long story short it was a classic army m4 with a d boys metal body put on everything fits absolutely fine but upon putting a mag in it doesn't feed until you push it into the magwell hard, now ive tried tape on the mags and it still doesn't really sort it is there anything i can do? it doesn't feed with MAG mid caps, pmag midcaps (the actual magpul pmag) and a g&p mid cap

any help would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance!!

Have you checked that the hop unit is in place properly?

I've had 3 dboys bodies do the same for my guns mate, so I switched back to plastic bodies. Theres nothing to be done, its just a case of, they suck.

Sounds like the hop unit isnt catching the latch on the top of the mags feed tube.
Do you hear the bbs shoot up into the hop unit when you put the mag in slowly and carefully?

sometimes they do sometimes they dont but the hop is in perfect place i may just have to get a lower receiver =/

Re: mag well too loose

hey i had the same problem, wedge a piece of paper between the catch and gearbox, MAG MIDS AND PMAGS feed fine after i did that but the dboys high caps still dont

edit: dont just buy another mag catch aswell had to do it with every sing mag catch i had

Might sound daft but i bet the mag catch is Millimeters too low on the reciever.

Its ok saying that but how practical is it in a skirmish enviroment?

Re: mag well too loose

.i had a couple of mags that wobbled ,all i did was were the mag release hole is on the mag ,pull it out slightly .if that dont work. put.tape around top of mag to stop that wobble .worked for me

Re: mag well too loose

ive tried tape and paper as an experiment and still dropped enough to not feed thanks though guys

tisane i agree i thought it may be the mag catch too ive just this second sourced a new one see if that does anything if not im gonna have to get a new lower

Re: mag well too loose

Why not take a little bit of the nib with a craft knife that holds the bb's in place in the mag.. then it will be far enough back to let the bb's through
