Jeff51 Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 I have a BFONG and am not sure where to ask this question. I bought 20 rounders from Apex and got them. After cleaning the cosmoleane from the magazines I found out that one of the mags will not work. I can insert the mag and have to beat it out of the gun! I have other 20rounders and 30rounders that work fine.How do I get this 20rounder to work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1gewehr Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 Magazines are getting too expensive to toss if they have issues. Problems with extracting the magazine point me towards too wide in some dimension. Look carefully for any bends or dents. Measure width and thickness of the rail as well as magazine body at the top. Compare with a good magazine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Quaid Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 if you have a machinist caliper, try measuring the bad mag vs a good mag hold it up and look down it and see if something is bulged or bent there is no magic to it, AFAIK. it's just a square metal tube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiz Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 The distance from the top of the mag catch hole to the top of the feed lips is 2.30 +/- .007 inches and the distance or gap between the feed lips is .55-.56 inches and .22 inch lip radius as manufactured.
