M11 Magazine help....

[ToneDef]

Does anyone know how to fix an M11 magazine that spews out the bb's when shooting?

My problem is, when Im shooting my M11, alot of bb's just fly out of the bolt area and jam up the gun. The problem is the tip of the magazine where the bb's come out of, its like a little to wide, and I need to close it a little. I need to know if there is any way to fix this problem besides taking to a store, since I don't have one in my area. Someone help!!!:(

Im assuming your talking about a KSC M11a1?... My buddy has one, and although his magazine is a bit "touchy" when it comes to the bbs being held in....what has been happiening to your s hasnt happened to his. Did your Magazine come that way?... or has it worn out to that extent?... did you drop it?.... I suppose If you had a picture of the part in question I could tell you if I new a way to fix it...

[ToneDef]

No, I didn't drop it or anything. It came perfectly fine. It worked really well when I first used it.

Heres some pics.....

Ok well in this picture:

it looks like the top of the mag, where the BBs are loaded during the action, is either owrn or cracked at the left top corner...but its hard to tell with that picture, not being the best quality... if that is the case, i think your outta luck..and will ahve to spend the 50+ bucks on a new mag. unless you have the luck of finding someoen to sell you that part to replace..or then theres the option if it is only cracked..of "rebuilding" the piece with epoxy or cyanoacrilyte. then filing it back down to shape...

But first I have another question.... does the mag shoot the bbs out all over the place when loaded and NOT in the gun....(other than the normal tendancy to do that if you "let go" of the spring slide abruptly during loading) Casue if the problem only exists when the mag is inserted in the gun..it may be a problem with the gun/ bolt/ reciever or whatever... in which case..I would have to have the gun in my hands to figure it out.

[ToneDef]

Well,you stated that the mag is cracked, and I dont see any crack. I think its just the lighting of the pic, cause Im looking at the mag now. No crack....but More likely worn, cause some paint is worn off.

The mag is quite sensitive when loaded with bb's inside or out of the gun. So Im assuming its the mag.

The gun looks like its in good condition so I doubt its the gun, But its possible.

Would there be any way to close the end of the mag slightly together without breaking it?:confused:

Thanks for trying to help bro.

I beleive you may be experiencing the same issue I had with my M11. I would shoot it on semi, and it would almost jam every shot, and on Full, the thing would shoot short bursts and then get jammed. I removed the spring of the mag, Silicone Sprayed it, along with hitting the dissasembly switch on my gun and Spraying the internals. Fully Siliconed, I have about a 90% success rate. I have two M11's One has never given me a problem, and one has, it could be that that is just how they are?

[ToneDef]

YEAH!!!! I FIXED IT!!:D :D :D :D :D

All I did was gently clamp the end of the mag in a vice and it worked!!!!!! It shoots perfectly now.:rolleyes:

Now its time to clean my baby up! get it all lubed up and ready for my 2 month vacation coming up.

Thank you guys for helping me out, I appreciate everything!:D

[Phizz]

Glad everything worked out, and Phizz appreciates you lubing up your gun.

Have a nice day,

can you show me what part you clamped cause my friend has the same exact problem and he cant play cause of it...it makes me mad to not be able to play with him

[Phizz]

I would also know what you clamped, because it would help me out a lot. I just thought I pin-ponited the problem, but the thing still feeds about 1 to 3 BB's every 5 or 6 shot, causing a jam wher eI have to open the bolt, Shake out the BB's and fire again. Sometimes I can fire a clean magazaine with no issues, but that is very rarely,

And while skirmishing, this is quite a nuisance. I would appreciate your help,

-Justin.

not gonna tell us?:confused:

[Sykosis]

have patience :P

I would assume he clamped the top of the magazine where the bb is chambered. I had that problem with my Maruzen MP5K hi cap, but didnt fix it. I simply traded the gun with a friend who will do the dirty work.

[ToneDef]

Sorry for the late reply, internet wasn't working for the longest time....:mad:


What I did was clamp the end of the clip where the bb's come out. I used a vice in my garage to do it. I also used a towel and covered up the teeth on the vice so it doesnt chew up my clip. It works ! Just some scratches, no biggie. Clamp it kinda hard though, so it works.
