Star Mp5 midcap 95rd problems

Morra · November 8th, 2008, 19:44

Hi i recently bought a 10pack of Star mp5 95rd mags, and every time i load them they get jammed. I load about 30 in their and they jam, so i try to take them out, but they are jammed so i have to release a few bbs, slap the mag, release a few more until they are all out. I have already put silicone oil in and i am out of ideas.

Drop some silicon oil into each mag and see if the jamming continues.

I had this happen with my STAR midcaps MP5 mags and silicone oil did nothing. They ended up jamming half way in the mag so no amount of slapping or lubing would fix it. The ones that did work ended up splitting apart at the top because of the pressure from the follower spring. I have never had such problems with MAG midcaps and they are just as cheap.

So i should just return these ones and get mag brand? Has anyone had any good exp with star mags?

The only star mag's I've had work on me, flawlessly, without any mods: Were the mp5 100 rnd mags.

My AK 30 mags took lubing to work.
My M4 30 mags took lubing and still don't work, but that's because they got buried in sand at Defcon.

I've got 30 Star M4 30rd realcaps, 8 Star AK47 30rd realcaps and 1 Star AK47 107rd midcap. 10 of the M4's have feeding problems but they were second-hand and really cheap so I'm not surprised. All the rest have worked perfectly for me for months. Maybe you got a bad batch.

None of those are MP5 mags though. They might be made differently, and they definitely store BB's differently.

I found that the plastic bit on the end of the spring that pushs the BBs along has a seem thats sharp and it gets jamed on the inner walls of the mag.
You file the seem down and buff it up with a cloth untill shiney.

This worked for my KA M4 plastic mags. This mite work for your star mp5 mags aswell.
