A.C.M. L96 Sniper Rifle magazine problem?

Hey guys, just registered to ask for some help. I've recently bought a A.C.M. L96 Sniper Rifle (Model M03) and it will shoot perfect but only if theres 5 or less bb's in the magazine, if there is anymore than that, it won't even load into the barrel at all. I was wondering if it may be that i havent cleaned out the extra lube inside the gun barrel and it may not be grabbing the bb's properly or if the magazine is broken. Any suggestions would be great, thanks.

are you using Bio BBs? What kind of BBs are you using exactally? If the BBs are double stacked sometimes it's that the BBs won't spin on each other if they BBs are not polished. How many BBs does the mag hold?

The mag hold 20 bb's and im using .20 biodegradables

Don't use Bio BBs and see how it works. Are they the Walmart bio BBs?

No it was from canadian tire and i tried normal .20 gram bb's & got the same result.

Where did you get the normal .2 from?

I borrowed a few of my friends normal .20 bbs he also got at canadian tire

Anything i've seen from Walmart/Canadian Tire is pretty nasty as far as BBs go. In other words i recommend avoiding walmart/Canadian Tire altogether.

You want a brand of BB with a high polish and tight tolerances, even if it doesn't turn out to be the problem, it'll help keep your gun running smoothly anyway.

Here's a couple brands that you can't really go wrong with.

*BB Bastard* http://www.bbbastard.com/index.php They also make the only Bio BB i'd put in my gun. They are also my personal fav, and currently the only Brand of BB i run. You'll find most people on ASC are the same.

*Armist* http://www.surplusig.com/19/70/Gas_and_Ammunition.html Feature a double polish much like the BB Bastard brand. I've never used them, but i've heard nothing but good about them.

There are also other Brands like,

Madbull
Metal Tech

These should also be good, i have not used them but others have to great effect.

That L96 shoots really fast, according to it's spec sheet, you really should be using a heavy weight BB with it. I'd say nothing less then a 0.30g BB. Maybe even a 0.36 would be best. Have you chronied it yet?

A heavier BB will hold it's energy longer, thus more range usually. It'll also offer more resistance to wind and leaves, etc. Providing a more stable flight, and better accuracy.

Hope that helps.
