Check your hop-up first, some mag malfunctions are due to excessive hopup.

Are they old or new? If they're new, STAR mags sometimes need some lubing and working in before they work well. Mine (AK mags) fed terribly the first time I used them then the second time with a bit of lube, they fed much much better. Haven't tried the third time yet, but it's worth a try if they're new. Load and unload them a half a dozen times or more at least and see if there's any improvement.

If they're old, the spring is definitely a suspect. There's a guide somewhere on how to add weight to them which talks about how to take them apart and put them back together. Do some searching...

I don't mean to hijack your thread, but quick question. Will star mags work ok in a ICS mp5? I was planning to get some low caps for it.
