Just tried out my second luger (as my bro has cried off playing this weekend, it needed a shakedown) and...

The mag is a very tight fit and doesn't like coming out unless the toggle is in the 'up' (mag emptied) position
It takes an age to get any gas into the mag - the gas can is fine and it takes 2 secs to fill a TM 1911 mag
The bore at the top of the mag is incredibly tight and I'm having to force BBs in, one at a time

This is my first Chinese pistol - is this normal?

If the WE is anything like the Tanaka, the toggle SHOULD be up before inserting/removing a magazine. Inserting/removing a mag' without the toggle up can damage the firing pin.



When I want your opinion - I'll tell you what it is!

It was the same with my WE 1911 - you can't feed the BBs through the lips, has to be through the feed hole.
