Mag not filing up

[mirinjawbro]

Hello all

 

got an "upgraded mag" online which has a more powerful valve installed.

 

however when trying to fill it up the bbs do not fit.  

 

i really cannot be bothered with the hassle of returning it.

 

im assuming i could maybe file down the feeder tube entrance so they fall down stacked.

 

the hole is just that tiny bit too tight so the bbs sit at the top and do not fall down.

 

any ideas?

 

thanks

What mag is it?

For a pistol or gbbr?

Are you trying to fill it from the top of the feedlips and not the front of them?

 

If it’s a pistol,  most of them allow you to pull the follower all the way down and drop beebs into the track, then release the follower to push them up to the feedlips

Probably a small deformation or 'flash' of the plastic around the mouth of the tube.  Check carefully and you should be able to cut it out with a craft knife (from poundland etc)

its actually a 4.5mm ak47 mag. 

 

you can pull the spring down but there is no "side entrance"

 

original mag the BBs fall down fine.

 

this new upgraded mag they just get stuck.

 

think i may need some weird file shaped item to shave it down a mm or 2

4.5mm? is this actually an airsoft gun?

Sounds more like a “BB” gun, aren’t those little bronze coloured metal balls 4.5mm or so?

[mirinjawbro]

yep sorry this isnt airsoft. 

 

the mags work very similar to all my airsoft guns. and this forum gives alot of good help

 

the mag could be for a 6mm bb its just for a 4.5mm bb.

 

i think some weird shaped file might shave it down a mm or to.

you are more likely going to get help on an airgun forum there may be only be slight difference but the likelyhood some one here is familiarly with the gun is not high
