Nice!  I'm getting some.  The bb release is great too, and I wish the TMs had them.

Thanks for the writeup.

They are a tight fit in the ICS M4. They need a little tap to insert them and will not drop free. They drop right out to the TM and the CA (really well out of the CA).

They worked well. Took a little getting used to. I had a hicap and two G&P's as backup. Would be a lot better if more people were using them.

They are still working great. Never had a jam.

The main problem with them is that so few people use them. It sucks to have to reload realistically when you are pinned down by someone with a hicap.

edit: I also don't normally let them drop free cause I don't want to loose them. I think they are best suited to CQB where you are less likely to need tons of ammo and you can easily find anything you drop.

I believe the circle on the back of the magazine is where the spring is connected.  I looked at a diagram on google, and it shows a spring going "U" Shaped through the mag and ending up there.

dust- was it a diagram of the STAR mags? I know the midcap mags are like that. Maybe someone should just bite the bullet and cut one in half.

STAR 30rd Mags
« Reply #9 on: May 12, 2004, 11:19:42 AM »
my boomarms package just arrived. The STAR mags are actually pretty nice. They are really light weight(duh). They are a much lighter grey than all of my other mags. They are somewhat convincing and don't look plastic. Unlike the TM standard, they have a bb release switch on top like the G&P midcaps. They feed really well and usually fall free from the gun. I mainly tested them in my TM M4. I shot a couple mags through my CA M16 too. They don't seem to need any lubrication like the G&Ps. There is a little circle on top (where the loading hole is on a hicap) that I'm still trying to figure out. Probably nothing.

Basically- It is a 30 round, plastic, $5 magazine that works really well. [:)]

edit: Damn, I really need to get a real website.  Can't post pics. Follow this link to see my pictures. Pic2 shows TM Standard, STAR 30rd, CA Hicap, G&P Midcap.
