I just purchased one of the "licensed" Schmeisser MP-40s from Kapowee Airsoft.
The gun functions very well, but I am having trouble keeping the mag in the mag well.
I called Kapowee and they said I could return the gun, but I would rather not do that. The guy did say that these guns do occasionally have a problem with this. He mentioned that they can be fixed with some tinkering.
Has anyone else had this problem and how did you fix it?

Two important things to check: 1. the magazine catch, look into the magwell and press the mag release button/let it go, can you see a little protrusion move out where the mag would be and into where it would be? (That is the internal mag catch explained in the most basic sense, a flashlight can help you see, and i forget where the little thing is located on an MP40, but just look in there, and you should see it, but be sure to look carefully, as it isn't that big) 2. The magazine catch hole on the magazine. There should be a little cut out on the side of the magazine, somewhere near the top. Looking at that cut out, are the edges sharp and defined or worn and rounded? If they are worn and rounded, then you have a problem, if they are sharp and defined, this isn't the problem. Other than that, i am not sure what the problem could be, and would have to hold it/look at it to tell.
