Lowcap to HighCap?

Im sure this is an odd question but couldnt you in some way modify a lowcap magazine into being a high cap, just making the BB container bigger or something?

Not sure, but any help is great

Thanks!

The internal mechanism (basically the entire mag minus an outer shell) is what makes something a hicap or lowcap. Modify a lowcap?? Just do yourself a favour, buy a hicap for crying out loud. What is the price difference? $5? Sweet jebus.

high-caps and lo-caps feed the bbs in diferent ways.
lo-caps feed them using a long spring that winds around in a track inside the mag.
im not 100% sure, but i belive a high-cap uses spring tention to turn a larg cog style weel to feed the bbs out of the open area in the mag.
so, it would be very dificult to convert a lo-cap to a high-cap because they use very diferent systems to feed the bbs. it would be much more economical to buy a highcap insead of trying to convert one.

Yes you can modify lowcaps to hold more bb's. You need to take the mag apart and put a longer bb tube in. And also a longer spring. It is very hard. It is much easier to just buy a highcap.

ya, you could do that. that makes it more of a mid-cap than a high-cap though.
