M16 magazine sticking in the holder

Nov 23, 2007 3:07am
My magazine is getting stuck in the mag holder on the gun. Its not the gun because i have 2 and the other one doesnt get stuck. The mag goes in, but when i push the button to drop it, it stays in and I have to pull it out. Anyone know what is wrong? here is the mag: http://www.airsoftextreme.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=83_84_92&products_id=3413

Im going to take a wild guess and say that the mag that is getting stuck is larger then the mags that are not getting stuck.

You need to be more specific. Is the mag getting stuck in the magwell, or is the mag release not fully disengaging from the mag?

I had this same problem with a few mags. All of my mags would fit into my CA M15A4 CQB Compact but only some of them would properly release out of my CA M15A4 Carbine. So I took it to AEX to have Mr. Fing Awesome and Chris look at it.
If you give to a charity please think of giving to one of these two charities. The Naval Special Warfare Foundation or Navy SEAL Warrior Fund.

It's the mag. Could be the paint, could be the thickness of the sheet metal used. Could've been cut a little bigger. Different batch runs can result in different dimensions and tolerances.
