Magazine wont sit high enough on its own.

Hello all,

Hoping somebody can give me a hand again, got some new EPM1 magazines to try fix my feeding issues, but the aeg will only feed properly when I push the mag up with an audible click, if I do not hold it in that place it drops down again but is still attached to the magwell, just will not feed.

I have attached a video of what this small push and click looks/sounds like.

Thanks in advance

Two possible solutions:

1. Find a hop unit with a somewhat longer feed tube.

2. Shim the top edge of the mag catch recess on the mags.

I think the 'click'is just the mag touching the top of the mag space. 

When the mag is in can you pull it out without pressing on the mag release?

Rather than modify all the mags out might be possible to add a shim or JBWeld to the top of the mag catch

Cheers for the reply all,

to answer @EDcase, no I can't pull the mag out.

I had some velcro strip laying around, have shoved some of that in the magwell, seems to have removed the play, bit too late to test atm though, might upset neighbours.

Only trouble is it has made it a bit of a pain to get the mag out, but is something I can live with

The more you use it, the Velcro will wear in and make it easier whilst still securing it better

Yeah if that solves the problem try it for a while.  It will loosen up but hopefully still do the job
