Are you using good quality bb's? Never heard of someone selling mags and them NEEDING oil right away. Alot of them do actually need the oil but not many people will say that, good on the retailer I guess.

( works super fantastic for lubing mags .. both AS and RS)

I see this stuff all over hardware stores and always avoided it because I though it wasn't safe for plastic. I guess if it's safe for clothes then anything goes.

Found a can at wal-mart for like $4.50. Gonna try it out. Hope it works!

I am. With a few other friends as well.

Yeah that silicone spray didn't work. They still get jammed in the same spot.

Try what I said then, there must be a burr somewhere in the mags where they were formed. Also you could probably try loading them and emptying them (with the release) multiple times. I've found that has helped a few of my very old mags.

It may be the fact im using bio bbs. just thought of that now. I'll try to use whatever XT has when I get there but if not, damn you XTstore.

Yeah oh and btw, Jig-A-Loo smells like a vanilla condom.

I like to keep things clean which is why I like the bio bbs but I guess I gotta sacrifice the planet for my AK...

buy good ones, the BB bastard Bios will feed .. they have the same physical properties as the Styrene ones

Another thing to check is to make sure the spring isnt kinked or that there isnt a chunk of shattered BB in there gumming up the works.

As i said in my first post, the basically push eachother out of the way 2 shots down. Its that only spot and its on all three mag. Im positive its the rough surface of the bio bbs that cause that.

Hmmm...I've never had a problem with my bio BBs. I've used G&G, Airsoft Elite and Bioval BBs, all biodegradeable and have never had a single feed failure after firing a few thousand rounds. This was in both my G&G MP5 and G&G AK 47 using G&G hi-cap mags, King Arms low-cap mags, a MAG mag and Star real-caps. I do keep my bio-bbs stored in airtight bags with dessicants (those little white packages that look like sugar packets that you sometimes find when you buy clothes that say "Silica Gel - Do Not Eat" on them) to keep out the moisture.

Which mags are you using?
