TM G17 Magazine Tight Feed Lip

[menphis]

Hi,

Can't find anywhere if anyone else has experienced this.

My TM G17 magazine seems to stop the slide from moving forward and I've found that the feed lip is tight in that trying to push the bb's out (with my keys) takes a considerable amount of effort when compared with my WE mags.

I have no idea how this could have happened but I guess the easy fix is to replace the feed lip.

Just wanted to see if I was the only one who has this problem

Try using a small round file to open it up a little. They should be a tight fit but not to tight obviously

What N1ckh said. Be careful not to file of too much and ruin the lips.

This tutorial show's how it's done on GHK mags, which applies to pretty much any mag: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xopVvYAIauY

Personally I dont think you need to disassemble the magazine.
