Settling into my new Rapid and having an issue with a less than smooth feed from some mags that I think is causing fliers to some degree. Positively notchy with some pellets, but I may get 3 load smoothly then one hang up.
Seems to be consistent across Theoben, Carm and RAW mags. SIngle shot carm mag loads smoothly
Would this be mag related or anything more serious with the rifle ? Or is it just pellet type ?
Pellet wise it was more apprent with JSB express and exact in .177 but its more or less perfect with FTT. JSB heavy are spot on.
Thanks
some pellets can feel tighter than others to load.plus some mags can feel different to.

Cheers Kev. I think it was the pellets.
Now seems to be feeding FTT smoothly. Shooting lovely groups from all mags now.
The RAW mag I have here was dodgy though. Looked like someone had had it apart and forgot to tension the inner drum before reassembling.
Now sorted that.
The leg of the spring was annoyingly sticking too far out of the mag as well. Thats sorted too now.
