Hicapa Mag Issues

[Matt_M]

I just recentley purchased 2 mags for my TM Hicapa. I took them out of the packaging and loaded both of them. One of them worked perfect, however, the other one every three shots or so the next bb in line isn't being held at the top of the mag and loaded into the gun which is very frustrating. This has happened to me everytime i have filled and loaded this magazine. Each time the bb isn't loaded i have to remove the magazine push down the loading spring, keeping it right side up, and then turning it upside down and letting the bb's fall back into proper order, then put it back into the gun, and then i'll get three or so shots out of it, then the process will be repeated again. Any suggestions to fix this?

lubricate!

light weight silicone oil should work. just lube that area where the bb's are held so that they dont get jammed together.

i lubricated it again...it still did it once but it's better than before.

what brand BBs are you using? If it's Guarder or Airsoft Elite, there's your problem. They're too big.

I have BB Bastard BB's.

same problem
I picked up 3 extra mags for mine and it jammed now and then
just needs to be worked in
load, unload. run it in the gun
just keep at it and it will work fine

awesome thanks alot guys, keeping it nice and lubed up cut down on the amount of times it was doing it. I'll keep firing bb's anf hopefully it will work itself out.

Another thing you can do is remove the plastic mag lips from the magazine. On the inside you'll find two sharp edges on either side which is the cause of your problem. File these down a bit and you'll be fine.
