Anybody else lighten the spring in thier fx mags.?

Cant remember who told me-network 54 few yrs back ,if your Fx gun shoots better single shot than with the mag. only wind it once(watch spring in mag) after it passes the stop first time -My 25 mags were wound so tight they hurt my thumb-I always thought it was for the semi auto rifles -one mag.system for all. the one fault of doing this is if you drop your mag on the ground the lock pellet will fall out

Had to tighten, by disassembling and use the 3rd hole for the spring on a Marauder. Marauder mags seem frail but they surprisingly do last.

My .22 seems pretty light as it came. That is, it feels like any of my other airgun mags.

thats the first thing i do with all fx mags...and that sharp edges are pain in the ass too...

In .177, no- tried it lighter and didn't work well. In .22, much easier after removing one rotation... The .177, I've three magazines, and all 3 were quite industrial until broken in. I would 'throw' away the first pellet in every magazine when competing- that first pellet had a rough time getting into the mag and wasn't always consistent...

I wouldn't know where to begin to adjust the tension on my Royal 400 magazine spring. I just work it. Makes me wonder why FX wouldn't make all their mags as easy to load as the Wildcat .25's mag.
