Hi Guys!

 

New here and just starting out!

 

I've been looking at Socom Lancer L5 Mid caps:

Heard a few things about them not fitting certain makes of gun (G&G and Ares) I'm currently running a JG 416 just wanted to know if anyone has tried to get these to work in a JG and come across problems?

 

Don't wanna waste £70 on something which may not work

 

Thanks in advance!

Thanks @Druid799 was a bit unsure as they don’t fit into the magwell of ARES and G&G but I have a feeling that’s to do with the mag catch more than anything ... I might be wrong

Ok matey , if you find plastic mags are sticking , then all you need to do is get hold of a wax crayon rub it around the top of the mag push it in , back out again and where the crayon has been scratched off get some fine wet&dry and gently rub those areas down until they fit ok .

if the mag catch isn’t engaging properly then VERY carefully with a craft knife scrape away plastic from the top face of the catch slot on the mag and again keep doing this till it engages properly .

It is time consuming but as long as you use your head and go carefully I pretty much guarantee you’ll get any plastic mags you want to fit any gun you have .

job done !👍
