Tee mag question/help

[cstru18]

Hey everyone I'm needing some help on my spring loaded tee mag. As u can see in the picture below it is very simple I'm using a 13mm irrigation tee and a 13mm end cap and it works great and its about 98% air tight. The problem I'm having is when I remove the end cap and the spring come out with it is that when I load the bbs in the mag and then push the spring and end cap back on it pushes all the bbs out of the barrel as this is only a concept design atm I'm just trying to fix these problems b4 I start it on my actual barrel.

You need a detent of sorts, something strong enough to resist the spring but weak enough to release the BB on firing.

Here's a couple of ways you could do it:

Thanks for that jsr and just another quick question the spring that goes inside the mag tube how weak or strong should it be and how long. Cause I have tried different sizes and spring strength but I can't seem to find the right one.

You could always turn it upside down and rely on gravity

Yea I thought about that but I don't wont it to be in the way of my scope that's why I'm trying to make the magazine underneath the barrel.

when you load a airsoft pistol mag normally you have a tab on the plastic nub that pushes the bbs you could incorporate this into your design this allows the spring to stay in the mag then all you need is some sort of breach in the mag to load the ammo in

jackssmirking revenge i think that if that plan is used it would kinda act like a hop up in a gun bou i think an efective way to do it is get som latex tubing to hold the bb and then employ your idea as an acuracy adjust mentbut the metal ball eould have to be a rubber cylinder and there woukd have to be a wedge to adjust your hop up
