I've definitely ran into this with novritsch mags too. I think something about the manufacturing process causes the magazines to have a small amount of debris and/or a slightly sticky surface which causes missfeeds. I fixed it by thoroughly cleaning the bb repository of the mag.
Hey Jet, we're sorry for your bad experience. Did you have these issues with 0.28g? Good thing Node was around so you could test everything out. Since this doesn't happen too often, we have already started looking into this with our development team. In the meantime, let us reach out in private to figure out a replacement for you! All the best from Austria Team Novritsch
My son has spent the last year fighting his Ssp5 to shoot right. Kid’s 13 years old, saved his own $350 to buy this thing and he’s completely deflated and defeated. Tried hop up adjustments, couple different techs
Funny enough, if you add butter (lube) to this gun, it would cycle better. The feed issue is another friction issue with the feedlips. I have personal experience with this as I had to fix the jamming issue in my feedlip design. The angle of engagement with the bbs and the exit needs to be perfect or else they will get stuck like we see in the video.
I just had to fix a bunch of these magazines for that feeding problem about a week ago. For anybody curious, you just need to remove the feedlip+follower+spring, and file the metal walls inside of the BB channel a little bit. Slow and steady wins the race, If you remove too much you will also have issues. Test the feeding as you go with at least 10 BBs stacked on the spring plus follower but without feedlip, and make sure you remove metal shavings before testing. The issue could also be the feedlips, so do the test before doing any actual shaving. But the best solution is to just use TM mags, they are the best on the market.
@@Fokkkker I feel like pretty much all of the airsoft companies just don't care enough. I frequently find issues with products, and I privately inform the company of the issues. 95 percent of the time their answer to me is "this is the first time we've heard of an issue like that", that response is such bs, there is no way I am always the first person. It's not like my issues are just one offs, I also tech on other people's guns and see these issues come up again and again and still the companies are uninterested in fixing the problem.
The gas issue is definitely solvable with lubbing that o ring down before ever using the mags. Nov mags definitely don't like high firing rates from what I've found.
Its interesting to see this seeing I own an ssp5 myself and haven't run into the mag problems myself. I now have an HPA adapter for it and run it with M4 mags which runs extremely smooth as well
Took Novritsch a month to get help with my SSP5. The tech kept telling me it's supposed to shoot like hot garbage. Shot they're reaching out to you! I ended up having to fix it myself.
Not sure if anyone has said this yet but I have an SSP5 as well and have some experience with gbb pistols. The plastic feed lips and the magazine body are supposed to sit uniform to provide a smooth channel for the bbs to feed upwards. If it is not it can cause the bbs to get stuck at the seam where the plastic feed lips meet with the magazine inside the channel. Which is what appears to be happening to you. I had this issue with mk23 magazines before and I disassembled the magazine (removing the feed spring gas router and plastic feed lips) and filed the channel smooth and it fixed my issues. I know thats not really the point and these issues shouldn't exist but I hope this helps you or anyone else with these issues! 😄
I'm a SSP5 player since it's release and I can say it's definitely the magazines. I swapped to 3rd party extended mags and drums and haven't had any issues. The gun slaps when you have some good mags.
as if Novritsch designed the magazines... They did the slide on the SSP5 but that's all that went into the SSP-"Platform".. oh and they told them to laser engrave the name in there haha
It's possible those mags have a thicker coating inside the round channel which causes the bbs to slide up slower. And I definitely agree that rounds stacking shouldn't matter. My Elite Force 1911 version 1 eats the bbs no matter hoe they're stacked.
Not sure if this is your issue but I've found that Novritsch mags are very finicky when using unpolished bbs, such as Madbull bbs. Try using high-polished bbs instead. I use Bioshot bbs and no longer have any feeding problems
looks like a feedlip issue where it's catching on a sharp corner in the plastic lip, had it happen once to my mag and i just went through it with a razor blade to take off some material to make it feed smoothly.
Try using G&G bb's instead of whatever you do now. This fix was applied numerous times, whenever there was a feeding problem with guns. It's most likely not an issue of gun/mag, it's about poor quality bb's you use.
I would check the bb channel for burrs/inconsistencies in the spacing. Go from there, swap the followers and springs. I would hope with the amount of money airsoft guns cost there would be a little better QC but I'm honestly not surprised anymore
I initially had some feed problems with my SSP5.1 too. Check how the mag spring is loaded. If the end (pointy bit of the spring near the follower) is facing into the magazine flip it round. You want the end of the spring facing outwards. This fixed the issue with mine as I think the sharp edge of the spring was catching on the paint/metal as the BB follower moved up. Hope that makes sense and fixes your feeding problem! Otherwise a great pistol
I have the ssp1 as well. Overall it’s held up for me but have had to replace the slide catch several times as it keeps cracking. The worst problem I have though is I have 5 co2 mags from him and they all leak, I’ve tried fixing them but can’t seem to figure it out. Not to mention my ssx23 mags leak as well, and they are gas. Anyone else having problems with leaking mags?
I generally use Army Armament Mags for Hi Capa/2011 guns The feed lips are a bit fragile but they feed supremely well, have good gas efficiency, rather durable (barring the feed lips, but easily replaceable with TM or aftermarket) and works in almost every Hi Capa I have tested them in. The outliers are specific guns I have like the Raven Hi Capa. Best part is that I can find them for rather affordable prices
That is an issue on many KJ Works guns(which is what Novritsch guns are), problem is the bbs can get stuck on the feed lips. They really should have fixed this by now. You can solve it by taking the feedlip of and filing it down a bit where the bbs get stuck, I think Novritsch actually has a video tutorial on how to do that somewhere.
MAG's BB channel probably needs to be cleaned/smoothened out. Inner part of feed lips may also be out of spec (smaller than the bb channel) causing the bbs to catch on the edges. Hence the miss feeds. Had this issue on WE tech mags before also when using 3rd party Mag lips.
I had a similar encounter, Just go to the TM magazine. I'm also using SSP5 5" in an IPSC competition. This gun works well with a heavy BB (I prefer 0.32 - 0.36) and has a reasonable price compared to custom Hicapa in another competitor's hand.
As I get my ssp5 4.3 ready for its first game this Saturday….. even my tm mags expel a little bit of gas when I insert them into the ssp5. What gives…. Installed a 6” barrel in mine. Probably mainly going to run a hpa adapter on it to get rid of any existing issues.
From the looks of it, its a failure to feed i.e. a mag issue. I do agree that it sucks when your new replica doesn't function properly but on the bright side its good for "muh immersion." I believe some good ole "tap, rack, bang" drills could bypass this issue until fixed.
Reminds me of the issues I used to have with my kjw glock 17, the co2 mags would jam, had to pull off the feed lips and sand the inside edge where it meets up with the bb track. That opened up the feed chute enough that bbs always feed
Did you used the same brand of BB's? I have experienced the same, although not with the same brand of gun, the BB's size must have been slightly different. But of course they should work with everything.
I recently bought the ssq22 from novritsch. They explicitly mention that you need to thoroughly clean the mags before use. Maybe it’s the same with the ssp5
my friend had this problem with a wetech galaxy, you had to fill perfectly the magazine AND make sure it is stacked correctly above the little guide or else it get stuck right before the feeding lips.
Same the... Just bought the same thing and it is definitely a problem with their mags. Even novi acknowledge on their website admits it, there is a deformity in the feeding lip casting. With a little sanding and break in Works perfectly but still For the price should work out of the box.
Do have the ssp5 6". Again. Out the box had that. Just have that hop up a little tickle and feeds every bb for me now. Probably not everyones fix but yeh. Worked for me
I did get the 5.1" Variant of the SSP5 and I didn´t encounter a problem with the feeding. I have 3 small and 2 extended mags. I have no clue why you have those Problems...
Btw the novristch mags are not high quality. Or the best for you gas pistol. Plus your the gas valve may be a little dry so if you can get a valve key to open it up clean it up and lube it. That may fix the issue I have the same problem with a lot of my pistols.
Not sure if it’s the same with the ssp5 but I saw a vid comparing the ssx23 to the TM mk 23 and it showed that the Novritsch mag feed lip was more narrow than the TM.
I’ve ran an ssp1 for the past 2 years and it’s been running perfectly ever since, maybe it’s the v3 magazines? My v1 and v2 mags run flawlessly. Could also just be the ssp5 platform, not sure
I think I have an idea what's causing the magazine not feeding properly..... its the spring in the mag probably not string enough to push them all up and what can also cause it too is the tight tolerance for the spring to work as yes you need it nice snugly but not too tight to a point that it sticks when pushing them up. I would change them out for a stronger springs and hopefully that get rid of the problem.
got the same magazin problem, you need to use TM mags. i search for days after this problem there is a small gap between the mag and the upper lip. the magazines are trash af
Also had issues with the factory magazine. Going lightweight anyways so changing the body to a guarder aluminum lightweight mag body and guarder follower.
It’s not the magazine, you’re just holding it wrong. Try with just your right hand only, then rotate your wrist to tilt the pistol left. You’ll find it’ll run a whole mag with no problems 👍
I must say mine run so good out of the box and i had such a blast playing with it on the first day i...got a second :D And with .32 BBs i sometimes outrange people with AEG rifles
I say for the price, the mags should shoot, why invest in the gun and extra mags if it’s not going to work. Yeah just keep using it and it will feed fine, why tho it should be perfectly usable right out of the box.
I was able to fix the problem by not pushing the magazine up into the gun with my hand. When I put my hand on the magazine, the slide no longer slid forward properly
When they are brand new, you should full them all the way and leave them for the night. This should fix the problem. But after youve done this tou should not fill them when there not in use
Ive seen a lot of people use these without issues, but it is a common problem which is weird. But Novritsch has been good in my experience about offering free replacements and repairs for out of the box issues like this.
I’ve had issues where the ssp5 shoots normal while playing then out of no where just starts shooting automatically. Any help because I’ve tried to get in contact with norvitch with no help multiple times???? And because of that I will probably never buy another airsoft gun through norvitch. It’s unfortunate because the ssp5 was working so good too.
