So, did some troubleshooting.
The Maxx feed tube is definitely too thick and doesn't insert into my magazines unless it's really forced in.
The same applies to the knockoff old gen unit.
Now, do i sand it down?

I checked every magazine I have. They all get stuck to the chamber (I'm testing with the units on their own, not inside the gun).
I have measured the diametre and:
Maxx ME: 9.25mm
Maxx TE: 9.25mm
SHS/Specna chambers: 9.02
Need to shave off 0.1mm all around the tube, will do it by hand as soon as I find a decent piece of sandpaper (or a very light pass with a dremel at the lowest speed possible with a stoney tool)

i'd say sandpaper is gonna be your best bet, trying to get an even surface with a dremel is gonna be a right pain when doing the outside of a circle.
it's a tricky one, the split feed tube seems kinda weak but also seems to work quite well, when i was running mine it'd feed every last round which was odd at first having to pump a bunch of rounds into the dirt to be sure it was clear.

So, ended up using a file in an arcing motion, which didn't turn out too bad.
I almost royally fucked it up because I went a little bit too deep on the rear part (which engages the bb retainer on the magazine) but I managed to fix that...sort of...
I'm at 9.08 now, I'll give it another pass at the front and sides (working on the Maxx sport which has a "fixed" tube instead of the leverage thingy, I have also removed the dumb tiny bb retention spring in the process).
Worst case I'll ask the guys at Maxx to send me another feed tube.
