Mags for VFC SCAR-L
 

Hi,

I recently just received my first gun, a VFC SCAR-L. I'm looking into getting mags for it. Would these be compatible?

It seems like the mag that came with the gun has a little hump on them whereas the ones depicted do not. Also, since these are mid-caps, would I need a loader?

Thanks for the help!

Those mags will (should) work fine.

Yes, you will need a loader. A large one (looks like a M4 mag) are handy. Airsoftparts.ca sells those too.

Like this?

Okay, I want to be absolutely sure these mags will fit before I actually buy them.

they'll fit as the SCAR takes stanag mags. whether they feed 100% is a different story. though they should fit fine.

Yup that's the loader.

The mags should fit. But this is airsoft...the only sure thing is that everything is made differently.

The magwell of your rifle might be a bit too small/narrow/wide/big. Your mag catch may be set too high/low in the lower receiver.

These mags might have their catch hole set a bit high, low.

The BB catch on the mag might be a bit too long

Any number of things could be off...and it they still might work. Or they might be a bit too far off and they won't without a little tweak here or there.

Chances are good that they'll work. The only time you can be sure is when you load it, slap it into your rifle and pull the trigger.

Oh okay cool! So you would recommend I get these?

Thanks for the prompt responses by the way! :)

I test fit some King Arms M4 mags in a VFC SCAR, and they did NOT fit like OEM.

I am running only King Arms 68 round metal mags in my VFC Scar. I had to trim the nose of the BB retainer as can be pretty common with those but otherwise they run no problems.

i just picked up a Scar-L as well and was worried about the same thing, I have test fit the G&G mid cap m4 and they work perfectly but they were a little tight when it comes to getting them out so i read to just scrape off some of the paint on whatever side is tight and it will slide much nicer. i haven't tried to mod the mags but i do know they work and fit

Has any tested out these MAG M4/M16 mags with the SCAR-L? :)

Also look at the new EMAG mid caps from Magpul PTS. They apparently were designed with the scar and 416s in mind.

LOL okay. Neckroz just told me he uses pmags, so I was looking at those. What retailers carry these? They have fake rounds so I cannot order out of country.

I think I saw some PMAGs on airsoftparts.ca

tooo many pee mags

I have a D-Boys Scar L, I'm using D-Boys, PMag, Kingarms mags, they all work fine, mid and hi caps.

Would standard M4 magazines fit?

read the thread, that question has been answered multiple time already and the thread is only 17 posts long.

yes all standard M4 mags SHOULD fit, slight modification might be needed as different manufacturers have different tolerences

So, looks like I have a little problem with the PMags and this thread seems fitting it post it up on.

They are feeding very weirdly. Throughout the mag, they feed okay-ish. They could feed better. They jam from time to time. However, once I start running down towards the last 10-20 BBs, they jam every BB. I can shoot once, then have to take out the mag, dropping BBs all over the place. Then repeat.

What could be wrong? Do I need to cut the spring down a little? Could it be my hop-up? I am really lost and it is very frustrating when I have to deal with this all the time on the field. I have a lot of gun troubles on the field actually...

Lesson moving forward. Never disassemble your first AEG when its working. Its stupid. If I buy a phone and got it home and took it apart and it "didnt work that well" I would be a moron. The same thing applies here. Not trying to be mean or anything just honest.


As for PMags what brand did you buy. The Green line ones or the "real" ones? I would assume the Green line ones as most people have indicated that the "real" ones feed fine but I guess that should be clarified.

Also don't chop the spring, if anything you might need to affix a small "object" into the magwell to secure better fitment.

Cheers


Also really Im not trying to be mean, I just firmly believe in "Upgrade the player not the gun". And I extend that to not fiddling with things.

have you lubed the mags yet? a couple drops of silly oil and cycle a full load of BB's a few time.
DO NOT CYCLE BB's through your gun!

release the BB's by pulling the little tab back. I keep a small bottle with a couple hundred BB's that I use only to cycle mags with lube.

I will take your advice.

These are the PMAGs I bought. They are Magpul PTS's.

Also, I understand Rugger. However, I LOVE taking things apart. Anything new I get, I want to take it apart to see how it works. Sometimes I break it but end up fixing it later and learning a lot from it. No wonder I'm in engineering. :) Hopefully I can fix it so it works at full potential soon enough.

Thanks.

So, I have oiled the mags and cycled roughly 5-6 times. They feed better but still jam 2-3 times per mag, mostly occurring towards the end of the mag as well.

Gbear that is really bizzare, I have a stock VFC SCAR and use the exact same mags and the BBs cycle through fine. What kind of upgrades did you do to the gun?

Adding to silent's comments : Maybe some rust forming inside with the springs? That's my only guess. I have other pmags I run I never had this problem.

Btw take care of my baby silent. I don't want to get no calls from her in the middle of the night in tears... ;( jk lol...

maybe try emags instead, i have both kinds and I find that the emags feed perfectly on a scar-l compared to the pmags. And yes there is a difference between the two enough to make a difference
