Mag tweak - The spring coil housing bug

[Alencore Rambo]

Here's a little tip when experiencing some misfeeds bec. of the hi-cap mag itself
especially acm mags.

Here's the so called spring coil housing. It's the part responsible for feeding the bb's up the gun until chambered as long the mag is winded manually or motorized. Standard spring-coil housing on all hi-cap mag types like ak47, m4, g36, sig552, m14, etc. so this tip is applicable to all hicap mags even motorized mags.


Now here's the culprit causing the misfeeds. The cover of the spring housing is slightly open due
to pressure when fully winding the mag. This however is adding resistance making the housing operate in a flawed manner one of the reason of so many other things why we get some misfeeds especially when not fully winded up.






So simply remove the cover and put some mighty bond on those little knobs
as shown on the pics...


See the liquidy bonding agent...


...once thouroughly applied to all knobs simply press fit the cover back so the spring-coil housing is now very flat looking at it on the side. This will ensure a smoother operation and less worries of the cover opening up again.

komrad wouldn't there be a problem if the plastic that locks the coil breaks and you need to make mods to it?

could be. but then after breaking off those little thingies, you can still glue along the rim of the spring carrier, i think

[laughingstorm]

sabagay there's no other way to keep the housing closed kung maluwag nga.

hehe don't worry kagandahan sa mighty bond eh di tlga sya ganun katinding pangdikit sakto lang tlga yung adhesive strength nya kaya pwede mo pa rin syang buksan konting pwersahan lang.

mas maigi lagyan mo ng marker both sides kasi pag may pinagdikitan na makapal na yun
baka di masarang yung lapat na lapat unless alisin mo muna yung pinagdikitan.
so kung may marker sa takip at sa baba same posisyon pa rin pag ibabalik mo na yung cover so lapat pa rin.

although some SCH don't need to be glued down maganda na kapit nung iba or kahit bumuka na sya ng konti smooth pa rin feeding.

pinaka-nakakainis sa lahat ay
pag nabaklas yung 2 slots na humahawak sa spring coil.
for years ala pa ako maisip na quick remedy dyan.
meron na isa kaso kailangan ang machine shop or matrabaho masyado.

until the other day as i was walking on the way home and low in behold i found
something in the road that gave my the breakthrough i was looking for heheehe...
