What qualities to look for in M4 magazines.

You'll have to explain that last part?

The TM speedloader dispenses 4 BBs.

Four goes evenly into sixty (though really it's 59).

For 30bb it's 7 pulls of 4bb and then 3 more pulls of 1bb - and when you release the speedloader 1 bb falls off leaving 30 in the mag.

What is WGC Shop's shipping like?

Gotcha. I've been using the TM loaders myself for ages now, I always fill my mags but I find it handy to count in 4s just to get an idea when the mag will be reaching capacity so as not to over-stress anything.

WGC used to be really slow on dispatching, but they're decent now. You can pick between EMS, which is just the normal post in Hong Kong that all the stores there use, or one of the international courier services of your choice (think UPS was the main one they offer AFAIK), but you'll see all the options if you go to the checkout.

WGC shipping has always been a bit hit and miss for me. Sometimes they dispatch the next couple of days; sometimes it takes a week, but it tends to get here within 10 days after that.

I meant P&P price But options is a good answer.

Have to sign up before checkout accessible, that's why I asked.

Price is good. Not the best, but their range is fantastic. Shipping prices are reasonable too - they're done by weight and done properly (not like some other sites like eHobby).

ASG midcaps are fantastic. £50 for a box of 10.

Agreed - I've been using these for 2 years and haven't had a single problem.

3rd vote for these.. work a charm in my combat raider after a nightmare with other brands...

Good point - mine have been used with Classic Army, G&P and TM guns

I ended up with loads of mags which miss-fed before buying those...

Bought the 10 ASG 140 rd Midcaps @LWA today.

I just got 5 of those mags delivered from airsoft zone, do I need to do anything to ensure they work ok? Like fill them up and empty then a few times or are the good to go straight out the box?

What! I could have bought less. :/

That said I needed something and LWA were the only site in the UK in stock.

I've been using the ASG 140 round M4 Mid caps for a few games now, been through 4 refills of the first 5. Had only one problem with them, and I suspect that is as much down to the gun as it is the magazines, though I'm not sure.

When I dump the magazines (after the gun ceases to discharge rounds) there are always 3-4 BBs falling from the magwell.

I get that the follower does not leave the magazine, as the G&G mag which came with the gun did - though I'm confident that the loss of 4 bbs is better than getting mud on the follower (and inside the magazine) or breaking off the follower from the G&G magazine (which I have never used).

3 or 4 BBs falling out when you take the mag out is normal.
