Brick Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 So I have the above mentioned WE PDW, takes the gas mags. My issue is that most of the mags don't feed, is this a common issue that new feed lips will fix or is there a known work around? Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites

Brick Posted May 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 which mags are you running, the PDW type or the regular STANAG type? which gen mags? The PDW style, I assume it makes a difference then.Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
Dimitri MdP Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 Miss feeds can be caused by: 1) overfilled magazine. Mags will take 40+ bbs, but shouldn't really be charged with more than 30 - 32. 2) Miss alligned mags.This is why I asked which mags you were using, It can make certainly make a difference, but normally it's the other way around. STANAG mags are a little loose on the PDW, but the PDW mags should work perfectly fine. Still, check the mags for rattle when inserten in the mag well, and shim the mag well with some tape or even gluing a piece of plastic if necessary. 3) Miss aligned nozzle. Sometimes can be due a little wobble between the nozzle halves, if so, a layer of teflon tape at the joint will keep it firmly in place 4) A broken nozzle loading arm.... double check if yours is in good condition 5) Crappy / too big bbs. This might sound obvious, but I've seen this happen a million times. Some bbs might work better than others, and some will even bloat and get stuck. 6) Broken hop rubber / way too tight hop setting. This one is pretty self-explanatory. Link to post Share on other sites

It also feeds flawlessly from the original magazine.Thanks. Will try with half loaded mags tonight and see what happens.Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
