FTFY

I believe I read on another american airsoft forum that the TM p90, Echo1, and CA P90 are not 100% compatible per se. The dimensions are actually slightly off which causes misfeeds depending on the brand.

The Mag brand of P90 mags works best with the TM P90 and I am told they work decently on the CA P90. I do not have a CA P90 so I cannot confirm. I do have a box of 4 MAG P90 mid caps that I use on my TM P90 and they feed perfectly every time, I've shot over 2000+ rounds since getting them and zero issue so far, the MAG P90 mid caps actually come lubed out of the factory. I took one apart to lube it but saw that it already had lube along the mag well as well as on the end piece.

I heard that the MAG brand has very serious feeding problems when put on an Echo1 P90 because the Echo1 P90 is a rebrand of the Jing Gong P90 which didn't clone the TM P90 exactly in terms of dimensions and so as a result there are misfeed issues. It seems the Pro arms or Silverback brands are better suited for the Echo1 P90 or just buy the echo1 mags.

And yes like everyone else has already mentioned P90 high caps suck even the TM ones although I did see a mod that you can do to make them better, please see below link:

just my 2 cents

That doesn't make a lot of sense.. I use both TM and E1 P90 mags in my E1 P90 and both feed fine.

Also AFAIK the E1 P90 isn't a JG -JG never made a P90.

[Short Round]

Echo1 is virtually a clone of TM, not JG....

Anyways KA's mid-cap and high-caps just hit the market. A lot cheaper the MAGs, hopefully they perform a lot better

Ummm as far as I know Echo1 most of their guns like the M4, G3 are JG rebrands and their AK's are CYMA rebrands, the P90 could be a JG/KS/Kart rebrand people have taken apart Echo1's and have found JG and or CYMA parts/serial numbers in them. Speculation is even if they aren't JG's per se, JG and Echo 1 use the same OEM in China. The point is this Echo1 does not do any R&D or really manufacture anything per se, even their high end XCR is OEM'ed by VFC.

And yes JG does make P90's, please see links below:

You are right in some sorts, Echo1 does clone KS, hence why I said virtually.

Pretty much goes Marui > KS > Echo1

All P90's made by JG, Kart, ACM Eaiming, etc are cloned off the KS as well, however are cheaply manufactured.
