K22 Long Barrel Pistol from Caledonian Classic Arms- initial review plus Youtube vid

[Frag Muppet]

I shot the K22 again today.

Its only really one of the Mag's that seems to get stuck when you pull the spring down sometimes it doesn't go all the way back up, unless you give the Mag a tap .
Looking at the design of the two different Mag's, the new one has a plastic button each side you grip to pull the spring down to load the rounds.
The old one does not have these just a plastic loop to insert an Alan key or similar to pull the spring down to load the rounds.
It feels like the plastic buttons are binding, catching itself on the new type Mag making it stick, If that is what is happening then I cant see how it can be fixed.
£32.50 for a new Mag isn't cheap especially if it happens again.
I wish they made the Mag's out of metal, perhaps they would be more durable then.


Below is a link to a photo of the new & old Mags
The new mag on the left you can see the slide is stuck down about 1cm from the top.

It's easy enough to strip the mag and maybe de-burr it a little. Just knock out the base retaining pin. Worth a try?
