MP5 Hicap problem :(

[TS_Welshy]

Hi there guys,

Just bought 3 second hand metal JG Hicaps for my full metal JG MP5 (M5-MC to them)

What is annoying, is that only one of the Hicaps actually fits! The other two just fall out of the gun! Sometimes they will just stay in place, but a very very light tug, without even releasing the mag catch, out they come.

They came in almost brand new condition front he guy I bought them off, so its not as if theyve been worn down. I do understand that a lot of chinese makes often have a problem with producing the same parts consistently.. so I can understand that occassionall you will get something that doesn't quite match up, but it is irritating that I cant use them.

Any ideas on anything i can do to get them to stay in?

(I do already have 2 other JG Hicaps that stay in perfectly.. :S)

Thanks

Gaffa tape, electrical tape, or buy a new body for the mp5, which is what i did.

Re: MP5 Hicap problem

destroyer, mp5 mags dont have a hole that can be bent like on m4 mags, maybe pushing the casing out from the inside would work

Same problem with my ics mp5,
Electric tape works a treat!

Re: MP5 Hicap problem

Are the mags actually all the way in? When you push in you should see the mag catch, the one look like a button go out, then back in flat. I had loose ones, turned out they were too tight, a good whack got them in right, and they are the best as the have no wobble at all!
