    mag body too tight?

    my mag body does not accept newer barrels so out of the 5 i bought i have 2 that can slide in and out freely
    i have a armson pro stelth that won't make it to the first oring and my j&j 's go in but i have to get some friend to hold on to the gun while i pull wildly on the barrel to get them out (i allready put the smallest orings on the barrel that would go on without breaking )
    anyone have a extra body for a classic or do i have to break out my makshift mill and sandpaper?

    im pretty sure it is just your twist lock. the metal piece that sticks up and goes through the front of the body.see if you can loosen the nut on the bottom this might solve your problem.

        The problem is in the barrels. You can have the ends turned a few thou and they will fit better. I bet the AGD barrel fits right in perfect right?

            i'm makin a blind shot but everything about this gun screams ancient all the original parts do as well, it is a prestar and Maby somewhere down the line in production they changed the size if the tube to allow for easy barrel changeover and cleaning. latter production barrels such as the ss combo barrel by J&J may not fit,, could this be the case? or am i just rattling on to no end>?

              Your rattlin!

              I own these barrels. This is all you have to do: Lubricate both orings on the barrel, and run oil down the length of the groove that the barrel lock goes into. I ran into the EXACT same problem Saturday, and I lubed these areas with gun oil (auto lube or any air gun oil), and voila, no more tight/stickiness. You might also want to remove the body from the rail and lube the barrel lock itself (put some drops of oil on it and press it down a few time, maybe put oil in it while you have it depressed).

              You may have to repeat the process, but trust me, this will fix your problem. Let me know how it went.

                  OK, try first by removing the oring, does the barrel slide in then? If it does, and your not using a delrin oring, maybe your oring became swollen? I have the JJ, and smart parts barrels for my mags, and they fit both the mag and minimag bodies without a problem, and I have mounted both on emag rail lowers (both bodies and barrels) without issue, except for some MAJOR "stick" which I took care of by lubricating the orings and the barrel lock grooves on the barrel.

                    see theres my delimma i slid them right into another mag no problem
                    without the oring the armson makes no diffrence
                    so you can see my frustration! i just wanna say f- it and get a new body then i can mutilate this one (i was thinking of sketching a tribal on the front of the body then grinding away all the un drawn on bits from the twistlock in a 45 working backwards
