P-Mag feeding problems.

Has anyone had feeding issues with this mag?

Mine shoots a couple before it dry fires. Most of the time I can't empty a full mag. Once empty the spring doesn't even return to the top-it usually stops a half inch down the mag.

What type of Pmag are you using?

I have an issue, just picked up a box of Green-line PMAGs, 75 rounds. We had a pre-season tune-up day and had a heck of a time feeding into my gun. I found if I hooked my thumb around back of the mag to pull forward and up, I fed reliably. My gun is a bit of a franken gun, purchased from here, with really high quality parts but all sorts of brands, so isn't as happy of a gun as I'd like.

I used some Electrical Tape and shimmed the back of the mags with it to fix the feeding a few rounds and then dry firing problem...

Ah ok. I had the same problem with my king arms mags but did not think it was the same thing. I will try to shave a bit off the feed lip.

Thanks.

The feed lip on the king arm mag is seems way to short to shave any off with out the bbs shooting out. The spring on my p-mag however still does not extend all the way to the top. I don't know what the name for it is, but the plastic piece that sits on the top of the spring still sits about half inch below the feed lip. Guess I just got a bad mag..

in teh case of airsoft, it would be called a BB follower, or just Mag follower.
there may be a rough spot in the BB channel thats catching on the follower.

Which PMAG is it? Green Labal or the Genuine 120rd?
If it stops in the middle of your PMAG, than it's your BBs causing a BB jam.
What brand are they? Give them a smack when it gets stuck.
If it continues, switch BBs or fill the PMAG with less BBs.

I have the STAR PMAGs, got em from ASP. About 6 of the 10 had feeding issues. Dropped a drop of silicone lube down there, filled them up like 3 or 4 times and used a screwdriver the push the bb follower up and down and now they all work AMAZINGLY. Had to do this to my King Arms 120RDs too
