TM M16 Mag Problem

Sniper Steve · October 9th, 2005, 15:00

Well yesterday I cleaned my gun and sprayed silicon in my mag. I filled up all my mags to shoot in my basement to get rid of the silicon in the barrel but one of my lowcaps decided that it did not feel like holding the BB and they went very where. After taking it apart and reasembling it, the mag let all the BB's out again. When I looked, the little tab that holds them from coming out was in side of where it goes and doesn't come out. Now the spring for that tab is there.

Any ideas?

So the tab has been lost and now the spring is exposed? If that is the case, try getting a broken STAR mag. You might be able to cannibalize the part.

No I did not lose the tab. I'll look at it some more tonight.

I have to be the biggest idiot in the world. The reason the tab kept jamming was that there was sand in the mechanism.
