Mag compatablity in GBBs
 

Because some manufacturers copy others designs we know some manufacturer's mags are compatable with other manufacturers guns and vice versa. What I'd like to do is compile a list of mags and manufacturers that are compatable. Here's a list of ones I've personally tried.

If you don't know from experiance DON'T post! We also don't need to know which ones don't work together.


Gun: Glock: G26, G26A, G27
Manufacturers: TM, KJW

Gun: M11A1
Manufacturers: KSC, KWA, UHC

Gun: Glock: G17, G18c, G19, G23, G23f
Manufacturers: KSC, KWA, KJW

KJW Glock mags are not compatible with KSC Glocks. If that were the case, TM Glock Mags would be compatible too.

But TM doesn't make the 17, 18c, 19, 23 or 23F...

If TM made the 17, 18, 19 or 23 you might be right but they don't, KJW copied KSC on that one.

FOr those who may be wondering, KSC M93R II mags are NOT compatible with Omega M93R's. Found that out today.

Gun: Beretta M9 series and variants
Manufacturer: KJW, TM

My mistake, just smack me around with a rubber hose.

tm and kjw m9 mags are cross compatible. tm mags have the better fill valves (they control overfill whereas the kj ones are silent and dont spill but result in the mags leaking from too much pressure) whereas i'm pretty sure kjw mags have higher flow release valves.

as for kjw g27 and g23, they are both based on the tm g26 so the mags are once again cross compatible. not sure about the lengths of g23 vs tm g26a mags but the g27 and g26 mags are the same size. the fill valves are once again silent vs overfill protected, but i havent heard any complaints about the kjw glock mags leaking.

KJW P.14.45 and the WA 14.45 are exactly the same..
you can use same mags, internals, slides..
everything...

can anyone else confirm on this one; i was under the impression that KJW and WA mags for the p14.45 are not interchangeable.

the same with WA P8 and the KJW P8...
ask EOL about the P.14.45

'was hoping you've tried interchanging the WA & KJW mags yourself. 'have always wondered what the sliding "hold-down" mechanism at WA mag valve would affect the KJ gun... and/or vice versa. any input anyone???

did WA ever make P8s? maybe u meant Tanaka...

I believe KJW might have copied Tanaka when making their M700s. I'll look into it when I get some in. As from what I've heard WA 1911 single stack mags can work in a KJW 1911 single stack with some modification. Not sure about the P14s though.

So just to clarify, you're saying that a KWA G19 will fit a mag from a G17,18C,19,23, and 23f from KSC, KWA and KJW?

KWA/Springtime Beretta M92FS are compatible with WA Beretta M92FS Magna systems
The same for the KWA/Springtime Colt Govt single stack 1911 and the WA equivalent.

Experience is how you spell that

You sure about this? I thought KWA were Taiwanese copies of KSC. Also, springtime is STTI. Which is a taiwanese distributor for other manufacturers such as KJW, HiTec, WE and Y&P.

Thought I might add this bit of info. I was comparing a WE Metal Hicapa with a TM Hicapa and noticed the valve on both looked different. However the mags are interchangable. The TM mag worked in the WE.

Yes, from experience. I'm talking pre-KSC clones. KWA used to produce WA clones. Springtime used to sell KWA a long time ago. We're talking way back in '94 - 96 here with the WA Magna system and pre-hopup.

Ahh ok. Gotcha.

Slight addition. Actually Springtime sold KWA up until '99 or '00 even iirc when KWA was cloning the WA hopup system. I believe I remember seeing them on some of their Beretta 92FS models.

Wow
 

Sorry for my VERY noobish Question... are the G19 or G23F's from both KWA and KSC compadible because i dont exactly feel like paying the extra money for the KSC mags.



Dont Flame me just because i mostly have no knowledge of KWA/KSC :D

all the glock mags that KSC produces are compatible with all the KSC/KWA glocks they make.

the glock 19's mag is shorter than the G23F's

Actually, the G19 and G23F share the exact same frame and can use the same (20 round) mags as each other.

*SOME* (not all) G23F's come with G17 (23 round) magazines along with a grip extension so that the fit looks more integrated.

Marui M9 magazines work with HFC M9 magazines, and vice versa. I've found HFC's much better, at least in my opinion and experience.

With KJ mags, I don't know.

Necro.

KJW mag work in the HFC beretta but something touch the valve when you insert it. Put it in fast and you're ok. Work fine. Cheaper than hfc beretta mag.

With the HFC one, you fill bb by the bottom and not from the lip...work but designed to be by the bottom.

Anyone know what Mags are compatible with the new KWA M4A1/M4 S-system?

Also what mags would fit the KJW P226? I've read the TM P226 mags are slightly too narrow and will not lock properly.

Please research instead of pulling up such an old thread next time.

The KWA follows the TM Armalite design, it'll take any mags meant for TM Armalites on the market.

Some KJW P226 will take TM mags, some won't. The only way to find out is to buy one and see if you've got one that does.

yea I've done searches both on this forum and other airsoft forums and googled it with no specific answer to the proper fit of the mags. I understand that most KWA creates clones based on the TM designs but that doesn't mean the mags are 100% interchangable, at least I have not seen a specific post or anyone stating they have tried, hence me digging up this thread, after reading it.
I have read that it is possible to mess up mags if they don't lock and fit properly. Thus I'm wanted someone with first hand experience to help.

But I will likely do just that and purchase some TM mags and see if they fit.

Hey does anyone know if the TM G26 Advance can use KJW G23 mags? a few reviews on Arnie's say yes, but I wanted to be 100% sure before buying

Thanks :)

Are all WA SV mags interchangeable even if different scw versions?

Yes, afaik, but not from experience, but i do know, from experience, the HFC Dark hawk mags also fit the TM G17/G26A


Yes all WA mags are interchangeable.

Necro-ish. But this thread was built for necroes. Any idea what mags would be compatible in this http://www.wgcshop.com/pcart/shopper...-L2TBRW_cat_WE

so what mags fit that KJW G23? Im still a little confused to this, can KSC and kwa g19 mags fit the kjw g23?

Thanks.

The KSC G19 mags dont work in the G23, they blowback about 1/3rd of the way, I also vaguely remember testing the HFC G17 ones but I can't remember the outcome lol

KJW is TM clone

TM and KSC is different design so part won't be changeable so hope it will answer you question.

All KSC Glock magazines will be changeable except you use the short magazines like Glock 19 to Glock 17 but G17 mag can use on G19 mag and you it will be extend out a little bit.


KND

From "experiance" ... ;)

KJW P226 mags WORK in TM P226.
TM P226 mags DO NOT FIT in KJW P226.

That is all.

But TM does not make a G23 or a G19 so what mags, other than kjw G23 mags, will fit the KJW G23?

Within the same company, all Glock mags that are the same size or bigger should be compatible with any model.

So a KSC G19 can take KSC G19, G17, and 50 round mags.

I'd assume if the KJW is a TM clone it can take TM G17 mags, they'll just stick out a little.

Styrak is right, a KJW glock 23 will take TM as well as KSC G17 mags but they stick out a little less then an inch. I have a KJW G23 with both TM and KSC mags and they work fine ;)

at a game i tried a tm mag in my kjw p226 and it fitted as well as the kjw mag and fired wonderfully... :rolleyes: heh! some fit some doesn't as stated earlier in the thread...

pics....This is my KJW G23 first with KJW mag. The second pic has a KSC G17 mag.

sweet thanks for the info from experience. :)

Does anyone have experience with interchanging Marui, KSC/KWA, and KJW M1911 mags? I'm thinking that KSC/KWA isn't compatible with any others, because it was the first 1911 design, and then maybe KJW copied Marui since it's more recent. Confirm/deny?

KSC/KWA are their own deal...KJW single stacker(ones that came out in the last 2 years) are TM compatible(there are old KJW single stacker that was not a TM clone, but they are no longer for sale). KJW double stacker(KP-05/KP-06) are Hi-Capa compatible.

One thing I am interested on the topic, is the compatibility of TM's Glock 17 Custom(the one with the magwell) with the older Glock 17 mag....since the new mags are longer...

So TM mags work perfectly fine in a KJW M9?

I know KJW and TM mags are supposed work in HFC M9s, how about the other way around?

I have a KJW M9 and am looking at the extended mag options from TM and HFC.

Will this work in a KJW?

for my own curiousity, what mags are compatible with a ksc g17?????

KSC/KWA Glock mags.

KSC m11a1 system 7 and KWA m11a1 ns2 mags are the same
KWA mp7 and KSC mp7 mags are also the same

Just to add to that KSC/KWA 23 and 49 round Glock mags only though.

For Clarification:
HFC G17/Dark Hawk mags will fit in a TM g17 but marui mags will not work in an HFC.

WE P-14 can use Marui Hi-capa mags

Does anybody know for certain if TM MEU/1911 mags will fit in to the WE MEU? I've been asked this several times but have no clue, as I don't fiddle much with WE mags. I realize the capacities are different, but that may be caused by other things.

KWA is the american brand of KSC...those are the same :p

I don't think they do fit. But again like you, I have never actually fiddle with a WE myself.

Given that the WE 1911 isn't TM compatible (mags either), that would lead me to believe the MEU is the same (it's just a fancy 1911).
But I could be wrong.

They don't. Tried with what's probably a first or second gen of the WE M1911A1 and TM mags. Could test with a newer gen the next time I spot one, but considering how WE mags haven't changed much, they still shouldn't fit.

tm meu mag in we meu
 

Ok guys wil try it in a few days when I get my we meu will let you know.

KJW M9 mags work with SOCOM GEAR M9, but will a TM M9 mag work in the SOCOM seeing as the KJW mags are compatible with the TM?

update we meu kjw meu
 

Hello all tried tonight when I got my we and the kj mag will not work now I have to buy more mags.

we meu/1911 use very similar interior design to tm hi-capa. You could actually fit a we meu/1911 mag into a hi-capa if you remove the base plate.

Also, the black we 1911 mag does not fit well in we MEU, nor socom gear novak next two tone. Sanding is required to let it fit well.

Just another note, kjw meu mag also requires sanding to fit well in a tm meu. Not the other way around tho

Note to self, stick with tm in the future.

ok, just to double check the KWA KP45 will accept KSC USP.45 mags?

KWA and KSC are the same company, so yes! You just have to make sure the mags are the same system! NS2/System 7 or the old system!

Magazine for socom gear novaks next 1911
 

Gentlemen,

What magazine is compatible with the Novaks next 1911 socom gear?

Compatible with Wilson combat and MEU style magazines.

mag compatibility

What Wilson combat and MEU style magazines are they talking about? I would like to know as well.

I have a Novak Next two tone, it will accept a TM MEU/1911 magazine with some modification on the lower frame (more like mid frame) and magazine release. The slide works on a TM MEU/1911 and hi-capa, and works with their respective magazines.

Those are WE guns, so WE mags.

Tried looking for 1911 meu mags we but cant seem to find any. Are they actually rare?

i just got some tanaka p8's i was wondering are any other brand mags compatible with them

To refraise a question (I think?): what mags fit in the WE 1911 Tactical Carry Gas Blowback 4.3 Tan ( http://halifaxairsoftwholesale.3dcar...Tan_p_133.html ) and/or WE 1911 Tactical Carry 5.0 Black ( http://halifaxairsoftwholesale.3dcar...ack-_p_15.html ).

Thanks Stryrak (and everybody else!)

WE 1911 mags.

Can someone please clarify this for me. KSC g17 or g18c mags will fit into the TM G18c???
And TM g17 fit into the magwell of a TM g18c?

Thanks a bunch guys

No, KSC and TM Glocks are not compatible.

Thanks bud, know anywhere I can find a few TM mags? PM me if you can.

cheers

Ehobby?

Already there.

cheers

WGC, Tokyo Model, RedWolf, UNCompany, Dentrinity, Airsoftparts

Did you try those..?

i know its an old.thread but do socom gear mags work wit kjw m9?
I bought one and tested it and it seemed to work however after changing the inner barrel and test fireing it sems to vent the gas out but it works with the kj mag just wondering if its the mag or another issue so if anyone has confirmed that they do or dont work please let me know.
thanks

I believe Socom Gear M9's are WE.

Hate to keep pushing it with the 8 year old thread, but then again I didn't feel it necessary to start a new post over this:

Have any of you ever tried WE G17 mags with the KJW G23? According to this guy (http://www.airsoft-squared.com/revie...-g23-od-frame-), it fit tightly but it fed fine. I just wanted a second confirmation before I include WE G17 mags in my searches.

Any one know what mags,if any are compatible with the Skelton sidearm ss226?
