E&C East Crane magazine compatability issues/advice

[Johndaniel4863]

Hello everyone,

 

I am after some advice from fellow players before i waste further cash trying to find magazines that will fit my AEG. I currently use an ICS L85 with G&G metal hicaps but have aquired an E&C 416 (EC103) 

 

The issue i am having is the G&G magazines i have sit too low in the magwell so do not feed unless i press the magazine into the magwell, as a result i bought another 8 e&c polymer mags which i have had to add a small plastic shim into the magazine release on the magazine to make them sit higher as they have the same issue as the G&G magazines despite being the same brand as the rifle.

 

Does anyone have an E&C 416 style rifle and can they please tell me what hicap or midcap stanag they use with the rifle that feed correctly before i start selling organs to pay for more magazines.

 

Cheers everyone

 

John

If the E&C is the 'classic' 416 it has a different mag well than a normal M4 , deeper at the front, that does cause fit issues with some mags.  I have some Lonex flash mags that fit my 416 but I have no idea what brand the receiver is as I built it from parts. 

Hopefully someone has the same gun as you and can answer definitivly

maybe try a hop unit with a slightly longer feed tube? trial and error but it may help
