Quality G36 Midcaps
« on: September 30, 2009, 12:30:39 PM »
Can anyone recommend a particular type of G36 midcap? Obviously I want something that doesn't jam up and is made of decent quality materials. Price isn't really an issue.

-  Thanks

The only ones ive had experience with are Star midcaps. This review might not be legit since i got them used, but theyre decent. They dont quite hold 140 rounds. The trap door release is hard if not impossible to pull back, so i either use a flathead or take out the magwell and use that to unload. The bb pusher is short, so a round gets stuck in there, plus the 4 or so rounds in the magwell tube. Finish is just flat black, nothing special. They clamp together fine. The columns need lubing(of course) and the bottom plate moves a little bit. These feed flawlessly and Ive never had a jam or anything. Since i got this for 5 bucks each mag, i think these are worth it.  But the 5 pack is 80 bucks or so in ASGI, so a better alternative is either the King Arms( these seem weird, it doesnt have a bottom plate...) and the G&P midcaps in Evike(13 bucks a mag i think). THe G&P are probably the best ones, the bb pusher goes past the trap door, possibly feeding every bb in your mag :shock: . The G&P probably has higher quality materials too.

Hope this helped.

Ehobbyasia.com is the cheapest place to get STAR midcaps. (like $50 something shipped) Nothing but great experiences with ehobby.

I pretty much agree with everything Rorschach said.  However, they come plenty lubed, I cleaned them out so the grease wouldn't get on my hop up bucking.  I've had some occasional jams within the mag it self, but a good smack gets them working again.

STAR seems to be the most popular choice for G36 mags, they seem to be favored.  

I recommend them.

I have used STAR, MAG, G&P, and King Arms.

I rate them

1.  MAG ($26 a pair) 100 rds
2.  STAR ($85 for a box of 5) 140 rds
3.  G&P ($22 per mag) 130 rds
4.  King Arms ($50 for a box of 5) 98 rds

MAG brand only comes in pairs, but they feed far better than all the other mid-cap G36 mags.  I have already sold my G&P and King Arms mags.  I actively use my MAG brand mags and lone out my STAR brand mags to friends who want to use on of my G36 varients.
