I have around 25 of the 20rd mags and had problems with several until I purchased an anvil. After using the anvil the problems went away. The feed problem was with dated mags as well as later GI mags. I felt it was worth the money to purchase the anvil as I continue to purchase dated mags if the price is right. |

What was wrong with the feedlips? Too far apart, or what? Aren't they supposed to be about .550" or something? Doug |

chitowngangster, Remember that the recoil springs on the MGC guns are not as strong as the real thing. Maybe the spring has something to do with it. |

Well, guys, what you are overlooking is that the MGC Modelgun XX mags are not precisely the same as "real" Thompson mags, which will fit, though. I don't know this for a fact, Mario, but it may be that you need an original MGC mag to make it work right...or you may have to make very slight modifications to a Thompson mag to make it work. Do you have at least one magazine which you are sure is an MGC original, and not a Thompson mag? It is pretty hard to tell them apart. I have a 1921 MGC Thompson and the one XX mag that came with it from the store in Tokyo where I bought it in 1970. |
