If you have a silencer it might be hiting it.

load less bb's in the mag and see if this helps , i read that spring pressure can cause this to happen

Which BBs are you using as it could be the difference in their diameter.

mags over filled, its not an answer but it is a solution.

Could be spring isn't returning quickly enough good excuse for a nice new one

when was the barrel last cleaned, as it sounds like the odd bb clipping the m14,s long flash hider, or through lack of use the grease on the piston head has hardened and is not allowing the oring to seal correctly every time you fire ,causing increased piston noise

MMM tbh i havnt since the last time i went trying to find the cleaning rod , ill spray some silicon spray down the mag well might that help ?

Re: M14 bbs falling short ever so often

all that will do is make the hop useless till the silicone is cleared.
barrels really need to be cleaned regularly as the waxy coating of the bb,s gets deposited in the barrel ,the tighter the barrel the more regular the cleaning.
the only silicone that goes close to my guns is on the end of a barrel mop
