I just received my new Mag brand 130 rd mid caps and they all have feeding issues. Is this normal and will they feed well after broken in? Should i lube them yet?

Yes, lube them w/ silicon oil. Also, there may be a break-in period.

Ok i have the silicone spray purchased from Airdog. Do i just give a short blast right down the feeding tube?

If you're confident in taking them apart, check the bottom of the mag for a hex head and simply take them apart, then lube the whole tube. If you aren't, then just give it a spray down the feed tube.

LOL...yea i accidentally did that to one already. I was screwing around with the bottom and the spring shot out like a Snake in a brittle can. Scared the crap out of me. The spring was a bear to get back in too.

After lubricating I found little to no improvement in these Mid caps. I have found the when I push up on the mag while firing It feeds great! So I guess they just dont sit in my magwell properly? I tried electrical tape to make the mag fit better,but it didnt work.Still have to push up.
Has anyone else ever had this issue?

I've had similar issues with mine. I used electrical tape to fit them in the rifle more steadily. Worked well, the issue i'm running into now is jamming. The magazine spring appears to be too weak to push all the rounds up. With a few of them, i'll only get fifteen or twenty rounds off before I have to take the magazine out and *tap it on my helmet. Even then, it will likely only get a few more off.
