Have had a double jam on my FX maverick it might be me double feeding but I am going more to the FX mags they feel a bit clunky to me , does anyone think it could be that the spring tension is to fast .
Double jam on my maverick
- Thread starter Alley
- Start date
Happened to me many times, not sure why though other than me doing the deed 2 times.
It is worse on my AGT vulcan 3, if the rifle are leaned back and the barrel pointing at the sky, say 35 - 45 degrees, when you go to cock it at that angle, at least slugs will just fall backwards out of the magazine and jam up the damn thing.
And i am just talking 13 gr .177 slugs here, not like super heavy 20 gr stuff.
It is the same with both factory magazines and a CARM magazine too, i need to get single shot loader for this as i prefer it that way on all my rifles.
I also have a CARM magazine for my Maverick, i think it is the same there.
I have not messed with either magazine though, the spring at least feel plenty strong to me loading them.

I don't believe there is any way that a Mav. (etc) magazine can cycle two pellets in one cocking motion. You cocked the gun twice.
I've had mine for a year, shot thousands of pellets and slugs, and was always at fault for a double load.

It's you, you failed to complete the cycle You thought you didn't go back far enough as you were pushing it in so you did it again. Been there, done that. Easiest way if thing are totally jammed up is to pull the barrel, use a cleaning rod to knock out the pellets and reassemble. if the mag is out just run the rod down and knock out the pellets. If not jammed, just shoot the two pellets.

au contraire, they can be two different things, while a double feed certainly could cause a jam (if you were using really tight slugs for instance).

I have tried the eagle vision mags much more of an improvement over the FX ones not saying you still can double up .

I can't say enough good things about Darko / Carm magazines. He doesn't have all of their rifles covered, but if you message him he may oblige.

I've run FX mags, Orion mags and CARM mags, to quote the greatest sage of our times, Forrest Gump, Stupid is as stupid does. I can't count the number of times I've screws up, slow down and cycle properly.

Only time I couldn't double load even if I wanted was with the Taipan, then it was really hard to get used to be careful to not double load.

When I first started shooting FX guns I double charged several times. Ain’t no fun when you are shooting slugs for certain.
I have become acutely aware of how the side lever feels coming back. If there is no resistance, I simply pull the mag, close the lever and shoot. Then reinsert the mag immediately after a good scolding from myself.
