Mid Caps.
 
Im looking for mid caps.. Whats a reliable well feeding brand even on full auto? I hear most feed well on Semi but not all that great on Full. Any suggestions? Im on a budget hear so cheaper the better, plastic/metal makes no difference.

MAG Magazines work pretty well I hear.

Can anyone speak from experience?

Yes, I own 24 MAG brand M4/M16 mid-caps. Feed flawlessly even at 30 RPS. I've used them in TM, CA, and G&P M4's.

Depends on which gun you'll be using. I bought two MAG brand midcaps for my 552. I've had nothing but problems when it comes to feeding. Sometimes they prove to be real pricks and run through a full mag no prob, get my hopes up, then screw me over on the reload.
However, I've heard others with MAG brand 552 mags say that they're a joy.
I suppose you get what you get.

Looking for the M4 type, I use a A&K 5000 round box mag right now and i'm starting to miss reloading... I can't even empty that fat fuck with one battery. TriChrome, Did you lube them all when you first used them? And ALL of them feed flawlessly?

People seem to have hit or miss experiences with MAG. I had a set of King arms that were decently priced from eHobby. Out of the box they were garbage, but by simply adding silicone oil to each, no problems at all.
I'd reccomend you do that with all mags, just a drop or two.
G&P and TM are by far my favorite for the armalite series, but the most expensive.

I have 4 MAG midcaps and they're great, never had an issue

I always do, thanks though. I'll be grabbing a box of'm.

Mag M4 midcaps are pretty cheap, 4 shipped for 50 from airsoftpart.ca
8 shipped for 60 bucks from ehobby asia

I've had a dozen mags from 2 different batches, no problem at all.

KA seems to be far more hit and miss than MAG.

theguy August 7th, 2008 21:09

KA are cheap metal though...

MAG mags are like 50+ women... add lube and everything will go fine.

shadow_matter August 7th, 2008 21:32

I have 10 Star midcaps and they have caused no problems.

Lube is rarely the answer actually. Especially wet lube like silicone. It's only a temporary solution; it makes dust and dirt particles cling to it which over time just makes the mag feed even worse.

All my TM and Mag brand mags have never seen a spray of silicone (and the TM standards and hi-caps are about 4 yours old with literally 4+ cases of BB's through them).
