Bah humbug.
I've had more chances to try the lonex mags in my guns now, and although they will all feed ok they tend to unwind as soon as I insert them in the Tippmann and F2000.
I can obviously wind them up quite quickly again in situ, but that is not tactical in any way, shape or form.
So is there a fix? Do I need to shave off plastic from the top of the mag so it sits deeper, or do I actually need to shim more in there?
Edit: Resurrecting this dead post because I just came across it, and the solution was simple: Don't test hi-cap mags in guns when there are only 20-30 BBs inside, it doesn't generate the correct tension and they unwind when inserted. Full mags don't do it. So I was basically dissing the Lonex mags for no good reason!
