put some lube down the feed hole and take a speed loader and load and unload it a few times. if the spring gets stuck, hit it on something hard or a k-pot.

Yeah my bad on that one. Um i did open heart surgery on it. No jams in the gear but, i did notice that when i tried wind it the bb's were like doing the three stooges affect splitting the bb tube. They wind up but there not feeding. Im thinking maybe the spring is dead but i dont know enough about hicap mags.

how many bb's are you loading into the mag when you try to wind?

well i was loading it slowly but i got it up to a full amount. i dont think its my gun my other two hicaps work fine no problems at all. its when i wind it up to full i pull back on the bb release the bb's move about 1/4 an inch and thats it, when on my other two they shoot out. I cleaned eveyrything out in this moring, but still wont work. maybe its scrap.

I'd say it's the mag spring. I'm not quite sure but I believe all marui hicaps use the same spring so take it to aex as see if they sell replacement springs if not you can also order them from overseas but of course the shipping will be more then spring most likely.
