Take apart the mag and remove all the burrs in the BB passage way.

some people use a bit of silicone lube too. But if you remove the burrs it should work fine.

I have 3 of thos mags and all 3 are now working great.

DONT DO THAT!! it will ruin the spring..... the things that happens when the mag jams, is that the two inner parts is forced apart...then there is enough space for the bb´s to lie next to eachother causing the mag to jam... what you need to do is to find a way to keep the to inner mag parts together... i have tried electrical tape, and it has worked on some of my mags, but it is alltogether not a very good permament solution.......the best solution would be som kind of small metal clamp holding the two inners together.......

It could also be a problem with the follower pushing bb's to the sides rather than up. Check this out:

hey Meat... thanks for the link... the solution he describes might work, but i have found that the jamming problem occurs mainly when loading the bb´s....the downward force simply pushes the bb´s to the side causing the two inner parts to separate thus jamming the mag.........
