KRAL mags - super tight!

[Davidpingu]

Hi all, just started having a dabble with my new puncher K. I’ve just put one mag through it and it shoots beautifully but geez these mags are tight!
I’m aware of the little plastic slider, I’m pushing them in correctly but it takes quite a bit of force. Then to get it back out again I had to resort to banging it with the palm of my hand. Not right!

Given it’s brand new do you reckon I should try get them replaced under warranty? Is this a common, known issue?
I read some has issues with pellet skirts getting crushed by the mag mech itself. I don’t seem to have that problem but definitely an issue these being so stiff

They are tight, taking mine back for them to have a look at it, can’t get the magazine in without damaging it!

Although I do find the single shot tray a bit stiff, my own Kral mags are smooth enough.
You are putting them in from the right? Rounded part sticks out on the left after.

Best take the whole lot back to the shop if you're not happy.

I gave mine a very light rub with an oil stone on the back, they slip in loverly now.

Was that the magazines? They do get better the more you use them, getting them out when there tight is a bit awkward!

Yes. Did it about 3 years ago, with no untoward effects down the line.
Really was the lightest of rubs. Probably no more than 2 thou.

This seems like very common problem with the magazines after searching the web, I was using the single loader tray but had to fettle that to get it to load correctly, there a really poor plastic moulding you can get aftermarket magazines that are supposed to be better, I have done what you have suggested with an oil stone this has helped a lot thank you.
