I got one of the first GSG-5 rifles to hit shore here. I have 4- 22 rd  mags that I purchased with it. It functioned flawlessly when I got it putting thousands of rounds through it. My last two range trips have been plagued with failure to feeds. It appears all 4 of my mags are hanging up on me. I went home after the first troubled range trip and I tore the rifle apart, cleaned it thoroughly and disassembled and mags, cleaned, oiled and reassembled them for my second trip where I even took multiple brands of ammo. Still had the same problem. Rounds aren't being loaded, they are nosediving below the breech. The mags are defiantly inserted properly. I get 5+ malfunctions per magazine. Any ideas?

try using silicone spray in your mags instead of oil. Itwill help a lot

I really think folks cant stress enough the bolt/screw mod because that to me sounds to your problem.  Cpl thousand rounds and if have not tightened them or replaced them than i can promise they are loose as heck. Check real quick and then post back if u can. Normally also im the first to blame the mag but your case sounds to be loose screws.
