[ARCHIVED THREAD] - R15 Mag issue

Posted: 3/2/2013 11:44:29 PM EDT

I've only just managed to get out with my R15 this weekend to try it out.

Found that the factory 5rnd mag doesn't like feeding with 5 rnds in it.
With only 3 it's perfect, but with 5 it doesn't seen feed the ammo up far enough for the bolt to chamber it.

Is there a common fix that would help me?

Found out that the mag spring is waaaay too long for the mag capacity.
So I removed the spring and cut 8 complete loops off it.
Now the 5rnd mag holds 7rnds and feeds perfectly :)
