Airsoft Canada - View Single Post - CA M249 box mag works great, but inserting M4/M16 mags are difficult?

i think the tight fitment is to keep the mags in. i had both a CA and A&K 249, the CA magwell fit tight, while the A&K was loose. i never had a problem with the CA dropping mags but did with the A&K. i think its because of the clip used to hold them in, youll notice it doesnt have to move much for the mag to release. i think it needs to be tighter to keep the mags in due to this. as long as you put the mags in straight you shouldnt have any problems. your better off using the box though, one handing a 249 so you can wind the mags is a bit of a pain, plus, if your using it for suppression, you dont want to have to stop firing to wind mags.
