Hey guys! i have a Specna Arms H08 - which I believe has a RAHG hand guard. From what I’ve seen, M-LOK rail sections would fit as I believe they go in the long cut outs, but someone said i would need different sections (I believe SMR?) is anyone able to advise before I end up with tonnes of rail pieces that don’t fit thanks guys!

It’s a midcap, but I’ll give it another go when I get chance - could just be the amount left in as you said! i followed what @L3wisD posted from Specna and ordered 5 of these - slightly lower in cap than I’d have hoped but will do the job for now! https://gunfire.com/en/products/100rd-mid-cap-magazine-for-m4-m16-type-replicas-black-1152208792.html

For anyone interested - gunfire have various Specna mags for around £3! I’ve just ordered 5... then a new molle pouch for them.. and some new - let me stop there!

@L3wisD my patience and wallet thank you kindly! just so I know I’m reading this correct - does this apply to Specna brand mags? Or for example, would most mid cap 120s not work in the EDGE guns? Next job is to find somewhere that actually had any left in stock..

ive just got one of these to try in my specna and it doesn’t feed do you have any feeding issues with yours at all? Granted I only loaded a handful of BBs to see if it fed them, but no luck! Not sure if that just happens on the last few shots?

it’s a weird one - had a look at that first and it all seems okay - the gun had barely been used before I got it (or so I’m told) I’ll wait until I have all the replacement parts in that I so carefully broke.. will assess after that! Thanks for all your help again!

Oh sorry I see what you mean, yes that works ive just tested a little theory.. I think the switch itself is too loose.. if I hold the gun with the slide catch facing upwards, it catches every time. Any other way and it doesn’t catch which makes me think it’s slipping out and the mag is sliding past it

With no mag, I can pull the slide back, and lock it in place with no issues. Also releases absolutely fine and resets with no snags or hiccups. With the mag in - it’s temperamental. If pulled back from the front, the slide lock seems to engage more frequently, but still not always. Pulled from the back of the slide does lock sometimes, but less frequently than from the front. Sometimes when I insert the mag, I can see it push on the slide release catch, and push it up ever so slightly, so that when the slide pulls back it should lock - but again only occurs sometimes pretty stumped - as far as I can see, nothing is preventing it from working as it should

A few parts later and were almost back to working order! A few issues still: - The pistol only shoots on full auto (I imagine this is due to the metal plate being damaged behind the fire selector) - The slide doesn’t lock back when empty 90% of the time. I think this is due to the mag follower but I’m not too sure.. with the slide off, I can see the mag follower engages the slide release lever, but with the slide on it usually doesn’t.. mag problem or a weak spring inside the switch on the pistol do we think? Added a photo of the mag - from images I’ve seen online the gap shouldn’t be that big, but I’m not so sure, doesn’t look damaged or anything so my thought is a weak spring in the slide release lever?

jeez this has turned into a disaster thread hasn’t it 😂 ah well, live and learn! Will try and get it up and running when I can!

thats the one, but was just about to delete my post as the metal it screwed through has now snapped 😫😫😫. Is yours through that or was I wrong?

I did it!! if anyone else has to strip one of these down or something similar: the screw I thought was meant to push the little metal safety plate.. was suppose to go THROUGH the little metal safety plate.. it felt a bit tight so I didn’t wanna force it but turns out that’s how it’s done! absolute rookie error but I can now confidently strip my slide down completely! every days a school day.. thanks everyone for their help!

problem is the switch won’t even engage the mechanism for the safety, so even if I flick the switch to safe, it still shoots 😫

This might show the part a bit better

Okay so I stripped it down, re assembled and... all good! Not sure what was blocking it still. well.. I say all good.. I mean it’s all good without the safety switch 😫 I think the safety is operated by the small metal ring visible in the photo I’ve attached - but when I insert the safety switch, it won’t engage this piece to switch it between semi, auto and safe - it’s either semi or it’s safe and the slide won’t go back on the gun! If I pull the metal ring up so the gun is in semi, I can’t get the switch back through but can’t see why this is the last hurdle.. almost there!
