I received my used AGM M14 on thursday. I charged the battery and tested it. No BB's came out of the barrel, it seems they aren't cycling out of the mag. So I stripped it down and put it back together. I test fired it again and the BB's came out. After the mag was empty I read it and fired it again and the BB's didn't come out. I kept trying to shoot it with no result. I dropped a few BB's inside the barrel and they came out but when I used the mag nothing would cycle through. So my question is, Do you know what might be wrong with? Thanks ~sgttom

Stupid Question: You DO realize that it's a Hi-cap mag, right,? It needs to be wound to work.
Sorry if that sounds offensive, but you never know...

Good. Do you hear the BB's "flow" into the gun when you insert the magazine? |

your hop-up could be too tight, I've had the problem with my M16 before.

Well I tried all three different mags and I round them up also. I adjusted the hop up numerous times. No luck. The only way it will work is if I shoot it upside down. Its definitely a feeding problem. Do you guys have any suggestions?

It worked when I filled the whole mag up but when I only put a couple in it doesn't cycle.

Yeah, hi-cap mags only feed when they are full of BBs. The spring in the feeding tube can't push up the BBs if there aren't enough to stack up into the gun.

Thats because you need to have enough bbs in the mag to push them up the length of the magazine and into the guns hop up chamber. Simply put more bbs in. A highcap mag is not like a conventional magzine, there is no spring that pushes the rounds up into the gun, its the addition of more rounds into the feed tube in the magazine from the ammo resevoure in the magazine that pushes the rounds up into the gun. If you do not have enough rounds in the mag, they will not feed into the gun.
