SRC M4 Mag Feeding Problem

DarkAngel · July 14th, 2006, 10:43

I bought a used M4 from a guy i know, and it came with a metal m4 high cap mag (i dont know who made it) And i loaded the mag, set the spring on it and my battery fully charged. When i fire it on full auto, i notice it dry fires quite frequently. several shot would fire, and ud hear the dry fire a couple times, then more rounds would spit out etc etc. Im hoping this is a fault in the mag, and i hope buying locaps should fix this problem. Could anyone help me with this problem?

You posted in the Solutions, you were not giving a solution but asking about a problem. Many folks make that error.

Check that hicap out, maybe add a drop of lubricant in there. Not sure how familiar you are with Hicaps but they have a few tricks to make them work better.

When you fill them, fill them fully.
When you wind them up, do it until the winder starts to 'skip'.
When you shoot, rewind every so often.
If your gun shoots very fast, it may be too fast for the hicap to work well.

Ah, thanks. What do you think about the AEG M4 Drum Mag? Or should i stick to lowcaps? I would prefer using a mag that i dont have to wind. does the midcaps require winding?

Ive tried feeding my mag into ArmyIssue's Commando, and it works fine. So that means my gun is messed right? is this a cleaning issue? or damage to the hopup?

Anyone have any suggestions?
