ARP 9 magazine not feeding properly

[Wegalaxy]

Hello,

When using the stock ARP 9 hi capa magazine. It will feed about 7 shots when fully wound then double feed or stop firing all together. 

If I slap  the magazine or take it out and out it back in I can shoot about 10 before the same problem occurs.

I tried someone else's magazine and had no problem, so it's obviously my magazine that is the problem.

I have tried dissembling the mag for cleaning and service as I have been using it straight for 2 months now.

I have used this guide.

But it does not say how to get to the workings.

I could not find how to disassemble the workings as I could not find any obvious screws which would come out.

Does any one know how to fix this problem or know how to disassemble the internals of the magazine?

Thanks

I've got 5 hi cap magazines and I've found the same issue when I use them,

3 work fine, the other 2 feed then don't

I replaced my hop unit for a zci rotary plastic one and they feed better but still sometimes it's an occassional issue,

I was offered a swap with the store that supplied them (Patrol base)

But I never got round to it.

it's a magazine design flaw, the wheel is way too undersized to lift that many BBs without needing constant winding.

When I had the ARP-9 I had the same issue, experienced the same with MP5 mags, and now that I have a Specna X01 that uses very similar, if not identical mags, the same bollocks occur

These guns shine with midcaps or drums, highcaps unfortunately are shit by design.
