PFT Twist Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 The guide is excellent, but there is a much easier way of accomplishing the same thing. 1. Remove the spring from the magazine. 2. Load 38 BB's into the magazine. 3. Re-insert the spring on top of the BB's. Apart from being a very easy way to limit the amount of BB's, it makes the magazine feed extremely well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My experiences with completely dissasembling the inner mag and taking out and putting back the spring have not been real fun tho... I think it is easier just to sink the screw. -WMH Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PFT Twist Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 I have to admit, it's not my idea. I got it from a member in my team as a way to convert a G&P 130 round midcap into a standard 68 round magazine. I know many who have done it, and they all describe it as an easy mod, but maybe it's easier to do this with a midcap than it is with a standard magazine? I will try to convert a 68 round magazine to 30 round capacity this way and get back to you with the results. Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It has a small hatch which the spring loads into -- much easier to take the spring in and out. -WMH Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PFT Twist Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 I see... Well, I will still try it. I'll do anything for science, I'll get back to you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Forgot to mention it in the last post (in case it wasn't obvious). The BB trick you shared, I bet it would work well on the G&P mags due to the spring design. -WMH Quote Link to post Share on other sites
draco_1967 Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 Yes, taking a standard apart is a pain in the *albartroth*. I will never do it again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PlasticMag Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 I took a standard SG550/1 mag apart, and it was such a pain to put back together that it's still in pieces even though I've moved on to an AK. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Graham Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Hey Guys, Our team has been converting our TM M4 standards to 30rds, using the bbs before the spring method, for about a year and a half now - in fact its actually a requirement for our guys. For those interested, it's easiest to take the mag all the way apart, place the 38 bbs and lay in the spring guide and spring in the one side - leaving the spring sticking out the top. Next put in place the opposite side, tighten all but the top two screws. Next use a screw driver as a guide to compress the spring down to the hole where the bbs come out, slip that black bb pusher back on the spring and into the hole. Finally, tighten the last two screws....My instructions may not be very clear and/or it might sound difficult but its really not bad, especially after you've done 12+ mags! Our team also adds just enough lead stick on weights to the interior of the mags to replicate the 1lb. of a loaded real steel 30rd M4 mag - also a requirement for us. Get in contact with us if anyone is interested on more details on that or any of our other SOPs regarding increased realism. Thanks guys - and keep up the great work!

HaVoC Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Hardcore or what?! I may have to try this...get a couple of lowcaps and weight 'em to the real weight Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jammy_Stuff Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 Or you could just buy some revolution mags from air soft scotland. It's 10 for £30 and they're alredy limited to 30 rds Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Puzo Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 Holy. Thread. Revival. I would post the image but i can't be bothered Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WMH Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 LOL. This thread is linked from the RealCap project page. The Revolution mags are plastic. Marui low-caps are metal. -WMH Quote Link to post Share on other sites
