Its your mags I ran into the same problem with king arms mags. The way that they sit in the mag is offset and with the spring the bb get stuck and jam up the mag. I fixed the problem by continously cleaning them after every game. You could also try lightly lubing the mag and that should fix it.

Thats actually not likely to be the problem unless you can physically see the BBs jammed in the mag after removing the mag from the weapon. If you didn't get high end magazines the problem is most likely the stop right at the entrance of the magazine (prevents BBs from escaping the magazine when not installed in your weapon). To fix the problem take a sharp knife and shave the piece down slightly, load a few rounds in the magazine and try it. If you still have a problem rinse and repeat. I did this with 7 star magazines and they feed better then any classic army magazine i've ever used.

dwayne, next time we're at a game.. if it jams and I'm close by, let me look at the mag.. I had a similar issue and lubing solved the problem.. I am using triple stack magazines though.

I want to make sure it isn't a bb stacking issue before you start trimming the top of the mag port :P
