Automag Drop off...?

[Skeet]

Peeps, its a while since I have had a problem with a mag, so I cant remember what it means, when a level 7 mag, drops off after 10 or so shots....Mate wants to use his gat next saturday after 4 years, and says it was dropping off, so im gonna strip and rebuild it...any of you have any idea?
Cheers.

Does this occur while rapid firing? If so, is it a promagged one?
Because if it isn't a promagged one, then it's only normal, because of the flow restrictions in a regular mag.

Yeah..dont think it's promagged...just Level 7 , single trigger....wondered if it was ON/Off related or something...he sys he has a whole spare kit for it, so will likely replace the lot, and bung a drop or two of Love Juice through it.

That's always a good plan, particularly when the gun hasn't been used in a while.
Lubricants that have been sitting still for a while tend to get sticky and gunk up the worky bits. That can cause drop off too. Let us now if you get any joy.

hold on the seals!

Try a bit of lub. on the on/off first. Maybe just change the o rings there. Cheapest option, and it may sort it out.
Hope that helps.
