WE Hi Capa mag question

[Hamster82]

This may be a dumb question but can anyone confirm if these WE Hi Capa mags - https://airsoftdirect.uk.com/brands/we/we-hi-capa-5-1-magazine/

 

are compatible with this WE HC - https://www.socomtactical.net/we-hi-capa-force-t-rex-6-gbb-gold-barrel/

 

from what I can see they are both WE 5.1’s but just want a sense check before I push the button.

 

TIA

One description has the capacity at 28 and the other at 31.  So it's not a silly or even straightforward question.  I'd give them a call before ordering.

Hi Hamster,

 

The Hi-Capa mags will work fine even if you go cross brand. The only style to avoid with a 5.1 gun are 3.8 mags as the magazine itself is shorter and will not mate with the mag catch of a 4.3/5.1 grip.

 

Capacity on a Hi-Capa mag will depend upon which baseplate the mag is fitted with. The stubbier 4.3 plate sacrifices a few rounds

Thanks both, I had dropped WE a message on FB but feel a bit more comfortable ordering now I know there should be an issue.
