Hi ya mate, the only thing i can suggest is to squirt some silicon spray down the feed mechanism, I.E into the mag :D you can get it from most airsoft shops.

A little tip try not to fill the mags up to there full capacity, thus compressing the spring all the way, it tends to make the mag spring weak, and most of all never leave the mags sprung I.E never leave bb's in them, again it will weaken the spring, always empty them after you have finished.

hope this helps

Ady.

I had the same problem with my MP40 mags. The cure I found is similiar to what adrainlap suggetsted. I squirted a small amount of silicone down into each mag. I then 'rodded' each mag with the cleaning rod with a bit of kitchen towel attached to soak up the silicone. I believe this 'freed' up the feed and also got rid of any rough edges in the feed tube. Worked a treat for me.

Good luck
Regards

If you have still got sand in them lurking from D Day that doesn't help either, that was what effected mine, as it was so fine :evil:

I've had the same problems but luckily the MP40 mags are a doddle to strip down... Just knock the base plate off, slip out the internals and you can get the spring out and clean and oil the internals in about two minutes.
