Crosman Full Auto BB Gun Magazine - Tips And Tricks

[@bn7788]

When it comes to getting bbs stuck in the spring, my friend had that same issue and i took two tweezers and fiddled with the bb and i managed to pop it out through the bb hole so it is possible but you will have to move the bbs into place with a very small and thin tool. you will definitely need to sandwich the bb in between your two tools or else it will move when you try to pop it out of the bb hole. Now if your bb manages to get to the very bottom of the spring then i don’t believe that you will be able fix it but as long as it doesn’t get stuck at the very bottom of the spring then you can fix it

[@RWMAirgunsmithing]

Yeah I can see how that can work, and hopefully the spring isn't mangled.

[@anthonysanders4326]

This was my issue. Screwed up a spring doing this. So I had to buy another mag after spring was trashed. Still trying to find another spring

[@RWMAirgunsmithing]

@Anthony Sanders contact crosman they sent me a spring free of charge

[@TylerJackson10er]

As for the spring... You can unscrew the t shaped tab and remove the entire spring with the BB in side allow for easy removal. I cut off about an inch (or even slightly more) of the spring with wire cutters as I've found it unnecessarily too long anyways. With the "spring shortening" I find it easier to load the BBs and have never had a problem with it not having enough tension to feed. Hope this helps

[@RWMAirgunsmithing]

@@TylerJackson10er nice! Thanks for the info! I would definitely have hesitated to recommend shortening the spring.

[@TylerJackson10er]

@Esotericgemini both of my clips are still going strong after cutting the spring. Hope it works for you!

[@jamesbach2021]

If your sitting at the table and jawing with the wife while your loading her mag and you inadvertently shove a BB into the spring, it's not wrecked. Simply take the screw out that holds the spring into place and take the spring out. Once the spring is out you can remove the BB's from it without damage. I've been working on scuba gear for years. Sometimes when you have a pressure leak the o ring needs to be replaced. For a BB gun, take the offending ring to your local hardware store. You can probably find a replacement for less that 25 cents 'Merican .

[@RWMAirgunsmithing]

I agree with you 100% on this my friend xD I was hoping people realize the ez fix once the mag is disassembled and the spring (and bbs) come out. I myself have worked on stuff as small as a vacuum pump all the way up to 80ft long 8ft diameter autoclaves xD. Not everybody has tinkering experience hehe.

@16:04 the check valve side- green seal on every R1 at my local TSC was faulty. I actually did watch a video of a dude getting into them but it's just a seal and its apparently very difficult to put back in. I gave up on em. I bought the thing for me and my nephew. Actually, I was able to get a few seals and it works with 1 co2 cartridge but we moved on. Do you get into PCP airguns bro?

[@RWMAirgunsmithing]

Not yet, being from Canada I would have to register any worth having (which means keeping it locked and range only shooting and all) and I'm kinda keen on getting a long range bolt action for 1km shooting as my next big investment. So the quality airgun precision shooting kinda takes a backseat to real firearms. If I ever have a big enough property I would definitely get into it though lol

I think I damaged the piercing needles from over-tightening my co2...the co2 just shoots right out wasting all the gas in seconds. Is there any way to fix or replace the green seals or piercing needles?

[@RWMAirgunsmithing]

Can you visibly see the piercing needle is crooked or flattened? And which port does it empty from? The same as the co2 or the other port?

[@argyleantiques9943]

@@RWMAirgunsmithing It looks as though the needle on the first valve is slightly seared on the edge and that seems to be where the gas is shooting out. If this is due to over-tightening then I'm afraid I voided my warranty for sending it back

[@RWMAirgunsmithing]

@@argyleantiques9943 hmm the green seal should take care of a leak from the needle. If you screw in the first one and it empties out near the piercing needle than most likely the culprit is the tightening ring. You need to seat the seal a little more. Usually piercing needle problems come with a drop in co2 during shooting, not loading.

[@311mikey]

Hey bro came across your video and it’s cool. I don’t have any issues with the three magazines I have so far but I’ve only shot maybe 10,000 bbs. Which rifle do you have? I was thinking of giving the rifle a good cleaning but can’t settle on which product to use? Everyone says to use silicone spray or something like that but can’t find one that’s just silicone? Do you break it down when you clean yours or how do you exactly do it? Thanks

[@RWMAirgunsmithing]

Aye, a couple drops of silicone oil in the bolt carrier and on the seals should be enough to keep it lubed. I usually will just wipe everything down with a papertowel until it wipes clean then give everything a sheen with silicone oil, then one drop on each seal and one drop on one of the springs in the fcg. Many will say you dont need to clean the barrel on an airgun but I pass a cleaning cloth regularly and you can definitely see a difference when you shine a light before and after. These things seems to run regardless xD I am just missing an R1 right now. Dont use the spray stuff, those are usually industrial grade with additives, get regular crosman silicone oil or the rws bottle with the extended spout thingy. Edit : yes i do perform a basic field strip to clean everything

[@VENOM-kb8pu]

Thank you for the informative video! I have a question. Mine leaks from the second slot and from the valve at the top. whats wrong with it. Also, it rattles from the top when shaking it

[@RWMAirgunsmithing]

The second slot leak should be fixed by tightening (just a little) the ring on the seal. But that rattle in the top valve is not good, there shouldn't be any. If the assembly isnt incredibly loose I would bet there is something broken inside. You could try tightening the brass plate on the valve side, but if it is already snugg and it still leaks the valve needs to be opened and inspected. You can follow along with my disassembly and assembly videos.

[@VENOM-kb8pu]

@@RWMAirgunsmithing thank you very much

[@kevint.5381]

So my issue with three different magazines is the hammer splitting the valve cover in two. Forgive my lack of technical knowledge and description here..basically on the top of the magazine facing the firing mechanism, there is a metal plate with one screw holding it to the magazine.. I have broken three of them in half. Once they break, the magazine will not feed bbs and the blowback action fails. Im old, but new to this hobby, it was to the dpms sbr that I owe the credit to, for piquing my interest. So fun. It took about a week until I was All In, scope, red dot, bipod, quick reload magazine, and an extra standard magazine…not cheap, but it had a lot of great reviews so, lets go. The first mag failed in a week, the quick reload magazine took about three weeks, and finally my original magazine failed.all split this plate..no replacement part that I could find anywhere..not a lot of info out there on this type of failure either, so I’m left with no choice but to replace the whole magazine (?) anyway Anybody else have a similar issue? Are there any diy Fixes or explanations as to why this occurs?

[@RWMAirgunsmithing]

Yeah this does happen to others, although I never heard about each mag breaking one after the other. Have you field stripped the airgun to make sure all the components are properly in place? This is most definitely an airgun issue and not a mag issue. If possible I would maybe try and get it replaced. If not, a full field strip is in order, you need to make sure everything is clean and in its proper place.

[@RWMAirgunsmithing]

As to why it happens is hard to say, I have 5 of these and multiple mags, and I only have 1 broken bolt catch. If the buffers in the lower extension (the stock part) are not being stopped by the retaining pin they potentially could be slamming into the firing pin and the BCG assembly too hard, which would maybe crack that part. If you plink in the sun and let the mags warm up you could be running a supped up rifle but the internals are not built to handle the increased energy and could break. You can verify the "hammer chip", it is the little black knob thingy on the end of the hammer inside the BCG. that little black chip should only protrude by barely a mm from the end. Any longer than that could be increasing energy dumped onto the mag valve. Hope this helps, my videos should help you get through the field strip process, I cover everything with no editing so you guys can follow along.

[@Steven-jn2cw]

Hey dude, My AK1 sometimes doesn't fire, then when I take the next shot, 2 bb's come out at the same time, do you know why this is happening?

[@RWMAirgunsmithing]

@@Steven-jn2cw hmm, does it happen all the time or just when the mag is full or almost empty?...just quick off the top of my head before work I'd say possibly you are missing the magnet at the top of the bb follower channel in the magazine. You should be able to see if it's there if you shine a light in the bb exit hole on the mag. Or it might be the spring in the mag is binding. I'll have to check my ak1 later to see if I can replicate the problem with the airgun. Lemme know if you still have your magnet and if your bb follower spring is under proper tension.

[@Steven-jn2cw]

@@RWMAirgunsmithing hello, thanks for the reply. It only happens occasionally, so I think everything is in place. I have actually put a little dab of pellgun oil around the magazine seal and spring area and the problem seems to have gone away completely. I wasn't sure if a small dab of oil in the magazine was a good idea but it seems to have worked

[@RWMAirgunsmithing]

@@Steven-jn2cw nothing like a problem that can be fixed with a little standard maintenance! Hehe, I guess it makes sense, if there was a bit of foreign crud in your valve jamming up the springs inside it would explain the inconsistencies. Lemme know if the problem returns.

@@Steven-jn2cw maybe try flushing the mag if the problem returns. Use one co2 and manually actuate the magazine valve (dont use metal) and let the co2 pressure "flush out" the insides of the valve.

Hey btw I pinned a comment for the "bbstuckinthespring" problem. I would venture it is the easiest solution with no disassembly.

[@aldoseba]

I have a broken part of my magazine(dpms sbr), it's like a metal gasket that goes around the o ring where the gas exits towards the bb and the recoil system. Where can I find it?

[@RWMAirgunsmithing]

I haven't seen that for sale as an individual part yet. If crosman customer service won't replace the magazine you could probably tinker a fix, it seems like the only purpose of that part is to hold the gasket in place.

Hi, hey I was watching your videos and I was going to take my gun apart and noticed the pin is missing. Not sure when I lost it. It's been in storage for 2 years. We moved but I want to replace that pin. I don't know what it's called. I took a picture but I don't see how to upload a picture to you. Do you know where I can get replacement pins? It's one of the black ones that you push it in and then just pull it out to remove the lower from the upper part of my bush master CO2 BB rifle

[@RWMAirgunsmithing]

That would be the front pivot pin or the rear takedown pin. Unfortunately crosman has not opened up many of their parts for sale individually yet. You can try searching online or your local airsoft shops for a replacement part, the fit should be pretty darn close. You could even try a real one depending on prices. Those 2 pins technically serve no other purpose than to keep the upper and lower receiver together. Temporally you could jerryrig a fix with anything that will keep the two receivers snug and securely together, I would try to avoid anything that could carve grooves in your crosman holes.

Have you ever tried to mod one to fire pellets ?

[@RWMAirgunsmithing]

Valid question! I've seen people talk about it in forums and the tinkerer in me has always went down the rabbit hole... but... The problem is : bb's are spherical and random orientation of 25 bbs in a mag does not matter. So manufacturers can capitalize on that and make awesome replicas with drop free mags. These mags could definitely shoot pellets but you would have to tinker with the bb follower and guide and the entire bb channel and swap barrels to have some barrel rifling and most definitely would need to shim and angle everything at each step. Edit : not to mention the technicality of loading the mag after all these mods.

[@RWMAirgunsmithing]

It would definitely be an amazing tinkering feat that comes with bragging rights... but in reality you can purchase a hpa full auto pellet shooter except would not be a "AR replica". My advice would be to get the most out of these amazing AR replicas (for training and plinking these guys are accurate out to 50-60ft) and if you want better ballistics then you should definitely look into buying a real pellet airgun.

If it is just a slow leak , try putting a drop of silicone oil down the top of the mag directly into the valve while the co2 is slow leaking out. Let it sit and see what happens.

You really need to show us if both CO2 cartridges actually emptied. I have 3 magazines and none of them actually work correctly. Meaning it only uses the cartridge on the left. And when I go to replace the left cartridge, the one on the right side gasses out. At that point its useless to change the right side one and just replace the left one, and leave an empty one in the right side. I have a solution though. I plan on marketing it to users of the DPMS SBR. It not only corrects for and eliminates the use of C02, But is also upgrades the unit to 1100 psi PCP air(vs 900 psi CO2). Its a great adaptor. Easy to install, and upgrades to 13 cubic inches of air. Now it really cranks.........I plan on launching sales sometime in 2024 or early 2025. I still need to work out a few logistics first, and launch the LLC. I figure there are around 1 - 2 million of these guns out there that need this mod.

[@RWMAirgunsmithing]

If the second slot empties out it's because the ring is too tight most likely. The seal/piercing needle assembly is keeping the check valve (just a small bb) jammed. You can buy a HPA adapter from pyramydair, just watch out for the power factor as too much psi will break the airgun internals. Hehe

TIP FOR STUCK CHECK VALVE (CO2 dumping or not charging): I sprayed some Hoppe's Gun Medic Cleaner & Lube (since the cleaner evaporates) into the chamber inside where the small straight head screw with the seal comes out of on the thin side, shook it around, tapped it a bunch of times in several directions, and that was able to get the valve unstuck without wasting any CO2. It also seems to shoot much more powerfully now as well.

[@RWMAirgunsmithing]

@@funniman15 hmm interesting, it is possible you actually had gunk or a piece of pierced co2 caplet stuck in there. Just be careful, that stuff will eat away at the seals even if it evaporates, anything in a spray can will always have extra stuff in there so it "sprays" under pressure.

Excluding the dropped mag part..... lol From comments from other viewers I can relate that the problem of the ak mag not dropping free stems from a valve problem in the mag that causes the valve to jam in the "chamber". So you need to empty the co2 and relieve the pressure on the mag valve so it can drop free. Hope this helps, sorry it took so long, you can contact crosman and hope they replace the mag.

[@edwardfelts9261]

So in the very top there's a Lil magnet that came out of mine and I'm not sure where it sits any help much appreciated

[@pauliusdorosenka7036]

Hey, i see that u know this stuff i just got dpms and my mag is defected, when i put co2 into first slot it dumps it thru secound, if i want to use mag i have to put emty co2 into secound slot and then put full co2 into first slot, what do you sgest to do in this case

[@RWMAirgunsmithing]

Most likely the check valve mechanism isnt seated properly by the piercing needle retaining ring. Follow the instructions in the video, and gradually tighten the ring, you might not need much, dont over do it so you dont squeeze it.

[@pauliusdorosenka7036]

So the secound slot has to be tighten more then first, because now they are tightened equally and that secound one leaks

[@RWMAirgunsmithing]

@@pauliusdorosenka7036 I wouldn't worry about making them equally tight, the goal here is to find the sweet spot. You might have to waste a co2 and perform Big J's video to dislodge the check valve.

[@pauliusdorosenka7036]

Ok that valve adjusting actualy helped and i reloaded both co2 😁 now i would see if they both are using, how many mags can u get from 2 co2 cartriges ?

[@RWMAirgunsmithing]

@@pauliusdorosenka7036 nice! If you are leisurely semi auto plinking you can expect a good 4-5 mags with good power then maybe the 5th and 6th you will start noticing. If you full auto dump repeatedly it will be less. You will find out sure enough when you're done plinking unscrew the co2 xD

[@mja9700]

Whenever I load my CO2 (where it's indicated first), it leaks and depletes all my CO2, so I start with the right side instead. In fact I only fire mine with 1 CO2 just the right side only. Some must be stuck.

[@RWMAirgunsmithing]

Ya , for sure something is getting stuck... thankfully these guys run on one co2 only. I plan on making a sequel to this video in which I get to the bottom of that interior check valve. Until then, I highly recommend following the procedure on Big J's channel and after that trying to tinker with the co2 piercing needle ring.

[@mikeh3245]

What's happening with co2 leaking out the right side is a really small round ball barring that's not seating right! What's supposed to happen when you load the co2 that says first is the pressure builds up within the shared chamber and that pressure is supposed to push that little ball barring against a seal that on the opposite side of the piercing valve. Sometimes a bit of dirt or whatever it may be gets in the way and causes it to leak past.. if you get a blow gun with the curved metal tip and some pel gun oil, put a couple of drops on each peircer valve and then with the blow start with the the first one and gently apply a bit of air to that valve with the blow gun tip covering the peircer valve and sitting tight again the green o ring. Just be careful not to bend or break the peircer valve tip. Then move to the next one and repeat, but adding more air pressure as you go.. the only reason I say start gently with the air is to make sure you get that oil in there and not all over you or wherever else it may blow onto waisting the oil.. . Also one more thing ,I noticed you mentioned you have never took apart the top valve chamber section. Well I have about a hundred different times I also make my own custom valves almost identical to the factory valve, with the exception of my valves will get you running at anywhere from 600fps to upwards of 1200 fps.. I make three different valves witch all range from above said numbers ! Cheers guys and happy air gunning

[@mikeh3245]

I would add some picks with numbers but there's nowhere to attach said file here lol

[@mikeh3245]

I also forgot to mention that you can tighten the retaining collar ring, but again be very careful with those as well because there very soft metal and will strip out and in some cases break in half !

[@RWMAirgunsmithing]

Are you pulling straight down? Unlike a real one they dont require to clip in at an angle. Seems like there is a streak of bad mags out there, you are the 3rd in the past couple weeks with a stuck mag. Can you confirm there are no bbs wedged between the mag and the inner barrel?

[@tommy4244]

How do you turn the single shot version into full auto?

[@RWMAirgunsmithing]

Not impossible, but not an easy "snap your fingers" fix, you would have to make your own "disconnector" and replace the part in the semiauto FCG that is modded so the "BCG" catches on each shot, I am about to record a full break-down tutorial.. I'll make sure to point it out. So far I do not think Crosman sells these parts yet and probably never will seeing as it would be too easy to mod and hence eliminate their product from the non full auto markets, but you can see on the parts list there is a semi auto and a full auto part.

[@Jo_Fet11]

Does anybody know where I can get a replacement spring for the bb follower?

[@RWMAirgunsmithing]

Unfortunately crosman does not sell parts (except like 3 or 4 ). You can buy springs online though, anything with the same diameter and quasi similar thickness should work. Maybe airsoft shops would stock springs that might fit.

I have come across this problem, the mag is not seating properly, it clicks in but is 1mm low. I made a mark on the magazine and compared it to a functioning crosman, the mark disappeared under the magwell. I fixed my problem by simply inserting a mag over and over VERY FIRMLY but not violently. After about a dozen times the mark disappeared under the magwell, now I have zero feeding issues.

Hi my name is Willie I recently purchased the QR magazine which is the 300 capacity which I've had trouble with sometimes it would work it would use both canisters sometimes it wouldn't so the original I had the same trouble so I started using it more often the original works fine now but the QR the I started taking it apart and of course I avoided the warranty but I can't find parts that's what my question is I've contacted crosman directly and they have no idea where to get parts seals is what I need I actually broke one of the retaining rings which are cast they're very cheap and I started to strip it and then bad things happen anyhow I'd like to find parts please let me know how thank you great video by the way

[@RWMAirgunsmithing]

Oof, tough break. Unfortunately crosman has not pumped out many spare parts for these yet. If you have a friend with a 3d printer and decent material you can maybe get one 3d printed, not sure if that is overkill. Any solution that could keep the co2 centered as you pierce should keep it running. When I tried taking out the green seal by the bottom it was really tight and I gave up, Maybe a properly sized o'ring will do the trick. Just make sure the tip of the canister gets centered when piercing so it ends up flat on the seal.

[@matildaselick7698]

Good work bruh

[@RWMAirgunsmithing]

Thanks for the props, getting ready for part 2, I have a couple mags that keep acting weird.

[@brorjordas1979]

There's just a cone shaped plug between the two cartridge ports. Inserting the First cartridge presses the plug and it shuts the line so the secondary cartridge port does not let gas out. But the plug sometimes jams itself shut - especially if only using one cartridge at a time. Letting gas outta the first cartridge port, after both cartridges are installed, the secondary cartridge's gas presses easier the plug open since reduced counter pressure by the leaking first cartridge. I had this plug jammed on one of my mags at some point due to often using only one co2 cartridge in the First port. But by installing an empty cartridge in the First slot first - and using a full cartridge in port #2, the plug always gets pressed open in use by only one co2 cartridge.. I often shot my DPMS with only one cartridge - whenever I just wanted to do a quick shooting test or something..

[@RWMAirgunsmithing]

Nice, when I empty mine I always unscrew the "first" one first, so the second co2 pushes the valve as it empties out. These things are good for over 150 rounds when semi -auto plinking, Kind of a shame they are so finicky.

[@RWMAirgunsmithing]

A little "trick" I started adopting when switching around multiple unmarked mags... I load my co2 and give a little burst on full auto, it seems to dislodge and "wake up" that check valve.

[@jonathanulery1610]

Actually if you get BBs stuck in the spring just remove the spring from the magazine and the BBs will come out do NOT try to use a pick and get them out without removing the spring you will destroy the spring but if you do mess the spring up crosman will send you one for free...

When I push the release lever it comes out less than 1/8" on the catch side. any ideas? is i fix this at home. sending the gun back is a big problem.

[@RWMAirgunsmithing]

Couple questions.. Does the magazine release button clear the metal catch completely? If you put fresh co2 in it does the bolt cycle properly? If something is broken or misplaced in the blowback mechanism potentially the firing pin could be protruding into the mag. (i was able to pull my mag out even with the trigger actuating the firing pin) The only other part in there is a little catch/tab for the magazine follower and lockback on empty function. If this little tab is broken or bent out of place it most definitely could interfere with magazine removal. Just to make sure.. you need to insert and remove the magazine vertically unlike a real AK where you have to "rock/hinge" it in. You can access the bb follower and spring if you gently remove the plastic part that retains the spring in place, the spring and follower should fall out on their own, if the follower wont fall out it is most likely jammed by the little bolt catch tab inside the mag well.
