Airsoft Canada - View Single Post - BB's not reaching the hop-up nozzle

I've recently picked up my project gun after about 3 years (fitting a clone gearbox into a G&P m16 body) and I'm mostly finished now. However, I have one major problem: The BB's won't feed into hop-up nozzle.

The gun will fire fine if I hold the gun upside down (gravity causes the BBs to fall into the hop-up) or if I physically push the magazine up towards the loading nozzle while I'm firing. Anything else causes the gun to simply dry fire because the BBs aren't able to reach the nozzle. I've used TM, G&P, and STAR clone mags.

Is there any easy way to fix this problem? Currently I have duct tape stuck inside the magwell, which is holding it up -- however, I'd like a more permanent solution that doesn't look like shit if I were to ever sell the gun.
