KJW 1911 MEU BB's sticking in mag

I hope I have the right place to post this.
I have a KJW 1911 MEU, and my BB's keep getting stuck in the mag. I'll fire off 2 or 3 shots and then the BB's get stuck, I then take out the mag pull the spring down and let it go, it snaps back up and puts the BB's up to were they are suppose to be. The only thing I can think of is that the mag (after being fired) is cold and creates condensation in the groves where the BB's are and it causes them to stick.

You probably aren't stacking them correctly. There should be no spaces between BB's.

What he means by no spaces is that the BB's should be stacked like so.

Of course in the actual mag they will be a lot closer. It's the best to stack them like this for your pistol, and also prevents feeding problems, which is what your most likely experiencing.

Dont forget silicon oil in the mags. Put a few drops in before loading your bbs next time.

I did try using the oil, but i found that it sticks more with the oil, oh I'm using the white Bio. BB's and they are 20's

Firstly, use decent BB's. Second, TRY to stack them properly - usually it'll feed even if there are a few that aren't stacked just right, but it definitely helps. Third, you shouldn't have to lube your mags - that will only attract dust/grime on the field (making the problem worse like you noted) and will coat your BB's, and will in turn end up in your hop up rubber decreasing your gun's accuracy.

when the gun stops feeding and you take out your mag is are there BB's right up to the feed lip? or are they down in the mag like the spring isn't pushing them up into the gun?

the BB's are your problem.

Buy some BB Bastards and I can almost guarantee this problem will go away

Are those bb's I'm going to have to order or can I get them at Canadian Tire or Walmart as those are the ONLY 2 major stores we have here.

you can order them straight from Amos himself. No big store will have these anywhere.
