Sniper Rifle Misfeed

I have had this problem before and could not fix it. Now I just sold a sniper rifle with the same defect.

When the bolt is cycled the magazine kicks out and won't feed.

Anyone cure this issue before.

What rifle (sounds like a CA M24)? And does it feed properly when you press the mag in and cycle the bolt? If so, I have a 'fix' for it.

That is exactly the problem, you can use the rifle if you wrap your hand around the stock and mag together and push the mag up. The rifle is a VSR10 clone.

Remove the stock and screw the front screw first, this should align the feeding part of the mag with the hop up better... but this is no guarantee it will fix it. The Well clones pretty much all do it and unless you can find a new stock there's not much that can be done. Also, putting less BBs in the mag helps a bit, when the mag is full the spring tension is greater and makes the magazine eject more often.

Thanks. I will try it and let you know.

I have a vsr 10 clone that would do that same thing very intermitently i fixed it by shimming up the mag catch relief on the mag itself with a little plastic to make it sit higher on the mag catch (the bb was just too low to get grabbed by the cylinder head and be pushed into the houp.) I was using a bravo vsr with "acm" vsr mags...

I had this very issue with my vsr. The fix is actually pretty simple. As the bb moves up there's an almost cup shaped guide that makes is shift forward and hold in place. In mine the bb was falling back slightly and the bb behind was pushing half into the chamber so they were jamming very effectively until I released the mag and apply a little pressure as the bolt shifted forwards.

Basically the fix is to simply deepen te cup slightly so the bb doesn't shift as it hits the guide holder. How did I achieve this? pushed a Phillips screwdriver into the cup shape and applied pressure as I twisted it to hollow out the hole slightly. I've done this on 7 vsr clones that have the same issue and none have had a problem since

It's worth mentioning that all of em had the laylax aero pss10 hop unit in them.

I guess all ur really doing is making the bbs shift slightly further into the chamber.
