TaQ Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 Hey, PLEASE DON'T FLAME ME....... but... Where the hell do I fill the bb's on the P-90 highcap? I was kinda suspecting the buttplate but that doesn't move.....unless it's glued on?!?! This is my first ever P-90 highcap, even having a P-90 for like 4-5months!! ELP!! I probably would of figured it out by the time this was posted but hey.... who knows.. I'm still half asleep... *ACK* Link to post Share on other sites
TaQ Posted September 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 Right OKAY BOYS I'VE GOT THE BUTTPLATE OFF...... .........now it doesn't feed.... the spring comes out along with a spring follower.... I wind the mag and........it doesn feed...... uhhhh..... Link to post Share on other sites
joeking27 Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 on the bottom of the mag about 4 inches from the round end is a slide, you need to pull this to the other end of the mag and there is a little door next to where is says 50. that will lock the slide back Link to post Share on other sites
TaQ Posted September 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH THE DUMBASS SEE'S NOW.... Cheers bud! I've been feeding the bb's in from opening the buttplate, and then trying to squeeze the spring and follower back in and then putting the buttplate back on! LOL silly me.... No wonder they weren't feeding.... the bb's are in the wrong end...... >_< Link to post Share on other sites
joeking27 Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 You have a p90? interlink didn't deliver mine cos they can't use a door bell! You need to put the follower and the spring back and then the butt plate. I didn't think they came off. looking at mine they do. Link to post Share on other sites
TaQ Posted September 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 Okay erm.... I've just broken the trap door...........h..h...help... Link to post Share on other sites
joeking27 Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 its not too vital to the mag working, you can either try re attaching it, taping the whole over when its full or just not filling up to the whole. That said the door does hold the thingy back while you pour bbs in. Link to post Share on other sites
TaQ Posted September 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 MWAHAHAHHAHA, I've magically fixed the trap door back to where it belongs!! Man... I was pushing the trap door INWARDS, hence the snappage... I didn't have a clue you had to open it OUTWARDS.... Silly me..... >_<' The trapdoor needs a good long nail to get open, it almost made my nail bleed (since I filed them last night.. nah, I cut them lol..HONEST) Link to post Share on other sites
joeking27 Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 filed? getting ready for weekend sir? oh suits you sir Careful what you do with that p90, i don't the p90 getting a reputation as a camp gun! Link to post Share on other sites
Azrael Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 can some please describe in intricate detail, the exact working of the box mag for the P90? I was going to start a thread, but this one is relevant!! I need to know how the m16 mag feeds into the box mag, if its a hopper syste, of bb storage, or simply a nice convertor for m16 mags to be used in the P90. I've never liked the normal hicaps for the P90- they never work 100% right all the time. is the box mag more reliable? Link to post Share on other sites

I've never liked the normal hicaps for the P90- they never work 100% right all the time. is the box mag more reliable? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'll do my best. The door to the m16 hicap must be open for the bb's to spill from the box mag into it. It then feeds the bb's from the m16 hicap's nozzle up, then down into the P90's feeding system. I've never had any misfires from the box mag, but then again, I've only used it twice. Link to post Share on other sites
TaQ Posted September 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 ..and to mod it to take lowcaps you just snap off a metal piece that stops the mag from clicking in place when the trap door of a highcap is shut (in which it'll be like putting a lowcap in) The metal piece is designed to force you to open the trap door on an M16 highcap. This is because if you use the box mag reservoir you'd want the door open so the bb's feed from the reservoir to the mag, and into the P-90. Link to post Share on other sites
joeking27 Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 uggh box mag Link to post Share on other sites
TaQ Posted September 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 I bought it to use it as another way of reloading. There isn't any P-90 mag pouches to store the mags, so I opted for a box mag, which M16 mags can fit into my M16 mag pouches on my SDU vest Link to post Share on other sites
Azrael Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 sounds sweet- and a better alternative than standrd P90 hicaps! thanks for the info. does the box mag feed the bbs from the hicap to the feed chamber of the P90 through a plastic tube/ spring or what?

TaQ Posted September 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 Plastic tunnel about 2-3cm horizontal to the gun. Link to post Share on other sites
HaVoC Posted September 11, 2004 Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 Yeah I have a boxmag (I use the reservoir though) and have never had misfeed problems...a far cry from my old hi-caps... Link to post Share on other sites
Antagon Posted September 11, 2004 Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 Nuno, stop deleting my posts! I thought this was a fun board! Azrael. The P90 hicap is unique, it works much like my old TT P90 mag. It has a follower than pushes bbs into the feed mech (much like gravity pushes bb's down on a normal hicap). From there its the same, except all the rounds are fed since the bb's are are going with gravity, and not against. Link to post Share on other sites
Azrael Posted September 11, 2004 Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 it certainly sounds worth it in comparison to putting up with P90 mags that (like a dumb broad) keep needing a good slap.

Antagon Posted September 11, 2004 Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 That disclaimer shouldn't be necessary, damn post-PC world Curious, what problems did you have with your P90 hicap? Mine worked perfectly every time, once a gear came out of place, a 5 minute fix, thats it. Link to post Share on other sites
Chris P Posted September 11, 2004 Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 How does the battery on the box mag get to the rear of the gun? Can it be wired so there are no external wires at all? If it can i might get one Link to post Share on other sites
Azrael Posted September 11, 2004 Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 P90 hicaps (in my possession and all my friends who have owned them) always seem to need a good slapping to get them to feed properly. I'm praying that the new P90 I have doesn't need the same treatment. Oh, and I'll think you'll find we still live in a terrbily PC world in the UK- worse than it ever was in the 90's. I'm going to continue the rant I just wrote in a new "off topic post" so as not to clutter. I think I'll give the box mag a go, but wait until my new hicap decides not to work properly.

TaQ Posted September 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 How does the battery on the box mag get to the rear of the gun? Can it be wired so there are no external wires at all? If it can i might get one <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I wired it *half internally* before. Here's how you do it: Take off the upper receiver off (simple), then the gearbox out of the P-90 (even more simple) wire the batt connector head from the rear of the empty receiver and thread it through the hop up door (you can take this off if you wish, it helps) then poke it out left/right out of the door afew cm's (just enough so the batt connector can connect to the box mag connector) After that, put the gearbox back in, watch out the wire doesn't interfere with the gearbox placement. After the gearbox has sat in comfortably the box mag wire should be snug and secure, screw the backplate on, tuck the wires in and connect the gearbox wire to the box mag wire. Close up. Attach the upper receiver back on. Put a large battery in the box mag and attach it to the P-90. To conceal the wires even more, sit the battery so the part with the wires faces you, so you can connect the two wires right next to each other... ....I don't know what the hell I typed but hopefully you can understand.. I just got up... ZZzzZZz.... Oh and can provide pics if you want.. Link to post Share on other sites
Azrael Posted September 11, 2004 Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 does the Box mag obstruct the red-dot scope? (just saw TaQ's post of his picture on another thread and thought it looked like it covered the sight plane of the red-dot.) Link to post Share on other sites
