Incorrect.
I did the magazine mod, and my famas mags work fine in my Famas. My M16 mags now work both in my famas and in m16/m4 models.
The modification removes a bit of plastic in the reciever next to the hopup to accomodate the larger bb retention spring in the magazine, and the magazine has a channel cut on the front of the magazine to use the famas mag catch. neither modification alters the original functionality.
After modifiying several of my m16 magazines, if the fit isnt "just right" they have issues feeding in the famas. Feedings should remain normal on an m4. Try it out on an m4 model, and if it doesnt feed, its a normal feeding issue. That is, unless you drilled too deeply when modifying the magazines and hit the channel that holds the bbs.
