Im having feed problems with these King Arms low cap mags...they hold 68.

I have a G&G m4 commando, anything i can to these mags to make them work properly?

Are they new mags? Maybe they could just use an oiling?

search for modifications to these mags. I think people shave the feed tube down a bit and they work.

What brand of bbs are you using? I had alot of trouble with a set of new mags and thought they were crap... Turns out it was the bbs! Thru bastards in them and never had a problem again...

If it's not the bbs check the feed tube to see if there are any burrs or imperfections in the seam of the mag and smooth these out then apply a light coating of silicone oil. Buy I'd try a different brand of bbs first.

Have you tried pushing the mag forward? It seems to me that King Arms M4 mags are smaller than the magwell. If it is working, try putting some velcro on the back of the magwell.

"I've had JG, MAG, and King Arms mags fit, all you gotta do is shave down the lip on the back side where it locks onto the mag release. Takes 1-2 mins with a knife.

Watch your fingers :P"

I think its the hop up unit because i have a G&G M4 and my king arms mags Both Plastic and Metal ones feed fine. But i put a G&P Metal hop-up Unit in. ill go right now and check if i have a problem with the Old unit.

EDIT: I loaded up one plastic and one metal King Arms Mag with bb bastard .28g bb's and They both fed fine first on semi then emptied on full auto at 20 +/- 1 bb/s. Maybe its the bb's but i have had no problems with the king arms mags

Well my highcap mag that came with the gun fires fine so its not the gun, its the KA mags

It Might be the hop up unit?? or maybe the bb's

1/2" wide strip of loop Velcro on the back of the mag well should solve the problem. Some G&G AR models magwells are a bit on the loose side for non G&G mags, others are fine.

ah ha! From what ive read, i tried shaving down the tab that holds the bb's in the mag, and boom it works just fine now. I put my orig highcap mag beside the KA mag and sure enough the tab that holds the bb's in is slightly bigger on the KA mag.
