King Arms mags feeding issue -> Simple fix! and explained

[Splashx]

I heard a lot about feeding issues of King arms mags and got myself the same problem. I found somewhere the reason of this issue and how to fix it but lacking of pictures. So there it is!

It's a simple 10 seconds fix (per mag)! Every one could do it. Please use precaution because it's a permanent job, you can't go back if wrong!

I did it on 20 mags and no problem at all!!!

Picture of actual problem : (I'm no good)


Problem source: mag won't feed BB's properly to hop-up (sometimes only 1 BB is fed)
Why is there a problem : top of mag is not high enough in the magwell for the hop-up to push away the BB retainer lip so BB's won't enter the hop-up
What's causing the problem : too long BB retainer lip
How do we fix this problem : cut down extra lenght of the lip

What do you need :

1. King arms mags (doh!) or other brand that has the same issue;
2. a sharp skinfe (exacto);
3. few seconds of your life!

Picture of original BB retainer lip lenght


Picture of BB retainer lip cut down 1-2mm lenght
Put 20-30 of BBs inside to ensure they would stay in if mag is not in AEG


Picture of BB retainer lip with right lenght!
Insert in AEG and try out


If problem isn't solved, try to cut 0.5mm at a time. If it isn't solved at all, your gun may have a problem elsewhere...

Good work Splashx, I just got 2 packs of 5 M4 metal mags, so far no issues, but I'll know what to do should this problem arise.

Also depends on body/hop-up brand

King arms metal hop-up tends to be a little too short where the lip gets on

Thanks for the pictures bro, I had 5 metal M4 mags that would not feed, but I trimmed them down and they work perfectly
