m16 midcap trouble

Feb 9, 2006 11:50pm
title pretty much explains it all, my midcap won't feed. its a g&p M16 110 round short-styled midcap. It feeds about 5 rounds then dry fires for 20 then feeds a few more. The only way i can get it to work is turned my gun completely upside down and gravity feeding them. any help would be great.

first look at the nozzle head and see if it retracks all the way. or take the mag apart it could be getting stuck on something thats my best guess, but please correct me if im wrong.... :D

don't buy G&P these kind of things happen a lot

put some silicone lube down the feed hole of the mag. load and unload it a few times. if its the mags problem and not the guns that should solve a lot of the problems.

I have had that problem with 2 of my mags as well. Lubed them up the work a hell of a lot better now, but they are not perfect

try different bb's...when i had ak mids, the bb's got stuck because like 2 bb types work without jamming.

I have some M16 midcaps...not sure if they're G&P, but I tried using .25's and the BB's WOULD NOT feed. I solved the problem by switching back to .2's. :)

Take the spring in the mid cap out. Stretch it, silicon oil it and put it back in and it will work better then ever.

if all else fails, go to AEX. They could fix it for u immidiatly. Give them 5 minutes then they'll be done :D :D :D !!!!! Correct me if im wrong, but otherwise try .2's if u had 2.5's and they didnt work.
