mag midcaps not feeding?????

[bushman]

hey everyone i was just wondering how to lube your mag m4 midcap mags they are really pissing me off right now i have tried silicone oil in the mags, but that is not helping. do you guys have any special things that you do, in order to lube your mags or is it just a matter of more silicone i have wasted quite a bit so i was a little worried! thanks for the help

[Riddick]

I have never understood the theory of lubing mags.

maybe this will help

Probally one of the best tutorials ever.

I had the same issue with MAG not feeding into my Echo1 M-4. It's an issue of the parts not lining up. A small piece of electrical tape over the middle of the top part of the magazine should allow it to seat properly and feed.

Honestly, if the mags are brand new, I recommend a small bit of silicone oil in the top. The oil will never go anywhere, but builds a slick film on the inside of the mag.

If you need more than a few drops, the oil isn't the problem. Also, if the mag used to feed but doesn't anymore, you don't need oil.

I have never had to lube my magazines, but maybe that is because the switch behind the bbs has always chipped or gotten stuck somehow

[Russkie]

Disassemble your magazines and clean them with soap and water. Let them dry out and then put just a little bit of lube in them. Did that with my magazines and they feed great now.

I had the same problem.

Don't worry.
Load up your mags to the max (120 rd, whatever)
Let it sit for a few days (or at least 24 hours)

Then I also added some silicone oil on the top.
I bought a box set, and I did this to all the mags.

Good luck!

ok so i found out a theory that works what i did was i took riddick's vid but i added lib. so what i did is i sprayed silicone oil on the bbs that i loaded into the mags after that i let them sit for 24 hours and it runs flawless, also thanks for the help!!!!

Riddick that video is awesome. I could not keep a straight face.

Something I noticed on my Real Sword M16 series mids ~ don't know if it relates to your problem, but if they double stack and jam within the mag, there may be a separation or crack between two sides.

Midcaps are two halves. If they are ever overloaded, there can have a splitting issue, requiring superglue to solve.

Maybe that's not your problem. I have no clue. But double stacking has been a huge percentage of my problems.

Anyways, I guess your problems are solved bushman, thanks to the video.

[Switchback]

Double stacking, yeah.
Great video, yeah!
