STAR midcaps have crappy feed?

These mags do not feed. Maybe 1/10 will come out the barrel. The spring inside seems softer than other springs in my midcaps. Solutions?

I know this really unscientific but listen. When I stick a pen down these midcaps and let it fly, they go about 2/3 the distance vs my MAGPUL and the one came with my gun. The pen goes 8ft vs 5-6.

Even when I inserted brand new springs from KWA, my KWA 120 midcaps were jamming jut like you mentioned. I had been lubing them up thinking that that would help.

KWA told me to wash them with warm soapy water, rinse them, and then dry them bone dry.

They feed fine now. Your mags could need a good cleaning.

Edit: Don't wash the springs, lol. Rusty springs are bad.

Well I took them apart by squeezing the indents on the side and after a frustrating few minutes I got a few BB's behind the spring. Hopefully this'll do it it's just very wet and crappy right now. Everyone seems to hate STAR midcaps but nothing else was a great fit. Might even make a tutorial.

i bought king arms m14 mags a long time ago and they were the same way, just put silicon oil in them, and store them loaded for a few days, unload, then load again and they should be good You have to break them in a bit.

Well they work in my WE m4 AEG (not-katana) but are very tight. Suggestions?

Pretty much all of my mid caps weren't feeding. Basically when I'd pull the little switch deal to let the bbs spray out they'd basically just poor out with no spring.
I eventually used some chain lubrication(I had no silicone oil or whatever)laying around. rammed some bbs down it with the lubrication on it.. lbah blah. That was like 3 months ago. Last weekend they finally fed fantastically. it blew my mind.
so, 3 months. hah.

They feed now, it just takes both hands to pull them out I love Pmags. Should probably sell my family's TV for more airsoft schwag.
