The big or "lil" spring thats in the middle of the turning gear? If the big spring popped out and it is not having any tension, it is possible that the plastic or the metal spring are worn away or got bent.

most hicaps all have the same spring system...my M249 box messed up once on me, then i fixed it and then it broke again...so i gave up lol.

I would actually like to get some experienced help on this subejt too.

Try filling out your profile more completely so someone more experienced who is near you might be able to help out.

Also, a picture is worth a thousand words. If you have a digital camera, take apic, host it and post it. It'll help with the diagnosis.

Also, which brand of highcap and approxinately how old/well used is it?

But based on your description, the spring which acts as the antireversal latch is either in the wrong spot, damaged or broken.

Ok umm when i took it apart all the parts looked fine... the gears were all fine no broken teeth, the little spring that stops the big spring from unwinding is fine the lil black peice on the small spring is fine... and I do have a camera but you see last time i took it aprt the lil spring and small black peice shot out and it took me an hour to figure out where they went... and then when i put it back together it has to be together or the two peices pop out again.

It is a TM hicap a normall 470 round g36 mag. I have had it since Janurary i put about 400-700 bb's threw it a month.

And when i said unwinds it doesnt unwind all the way... it unwinds enough to be rewound like 2-3 turns....
