The little part on top of the magazine spring on my P226 has snapped in half.
Its the part which tops the spring and pushes the BBs up (and also operates the lock-back mechanism)
Is there anyway to get hold of parts like this, or even get a new mag?

Have they changed the design on these? mine seems to be a pretty strong looking lump of metal.
Wierd, mine has fired thousands of rounds faultlessly, same as my other Cybergun stuff.
So nothing like the 2 posters who have recently bought this gun and had the same problem, unlike others have had them a while without the problem. Therefore prompting the perfectly reasonable question : has the design changed?
A wise man has something to say, a fool has to say something.
My experience has been , both with these and especially with airsofts that the mags respond well to either accidental or deliberate release of the spring loaded catch on an empty , or low charge of bbs .
I have broken a few doing this which is infuriating considering it is such a key component and ofter v difficult to repair / replace .
One in particlar I remember ( a Mac 10 airsoft mag ) broke the plastic lips off the top of the mag which feeds the rounds into the chamber . £45 for a replace mag from Wolf Armouries !
I would have thought the metal followers would have been much tougher but apparantly not ?

Yus, loading some mags can be more dangerous than the actual gun itself. If I had 78pence for every time a dozen bb's have shot past my face just as I was drizzling the last bb into the mag...well. I'd have nearly a fiver.
And try not to leave your mags full. Not just for safety, but it can make the springs tired.
