Tighten mag catch TM 5.1 Hi-capa

Winell · July 11th, 2010, 05:42

Hi

Recently I have received a problem with my TM 5.1 Hi-capa. The magazine is seated well but when I fire the magazine falls out of the gun. This happens for all of my 3 magazines.

Is there any way to tighten the mag catch or does something need to be replaced?

my TM hicapa mag catch is never get loose, maybe you have to buy a replacement mag catch, repeated usage can damage the mag catch and when you fire it, the pressure will push the mag out

It may be the spring that's weak. Replace it if that's the case.

Anyone has a video or instruction for removing the mag catch?

I found it myself - and fortunately before I completely destroyed the "screw" holding the spring

I cleaned up the spring and lubed it and now it seems to work better (knock on wood)
