I have an issue where mag brand MP40 mags will not lock in the mag well. I am unsure if it is just the brand of mags as I don't have a stock MP40 mag to try. has anyone ever run into this problem before?

I believe so I bought it second hand as a back up and it did not come with the stock mag.

was it king arms that put out the plastic mags? They are plastic not stock mags. I believe the gun itself is AGM.

The seller says it was catching just fine looks like I will break it down and see if something is caught on the mag catch not letting it extend far enough out to engage.

The King Arms mags have to be slightly modified and I believe there is a thread on these boards somewhere explaining the process. They won't fit otherwise.

Mine fit just fine, they require a decent "oompf" to lock in. Past that, it's been happy shooting.

It is also possible the magazine catch has worked itself loose (as so many things tend to do on this weapon). Should that be the case, simply tighten the screw in the middle of the magazine release button.

Fixed. The mag release button was loose I just tightened it up with a screw driver and it was fine. Thanks Rekkon.

IIRC, there's a mod that can be done to the mag well that solves the problem you're referring to. As for the mag catch not grabbing - The catch part itself isn't all that big, and doesn't stick into the mag well all that much. It can easily get worn and stop working. I solved this by making a replacement part with a bigger catch.
