140rd Mid-Cap Magazine for M1918 BAR [S&T]

Way better than the hicap version.
Feeds perfectly. I have feeding issues with the hicap version.
I orderd 8 of these and i did not regret it.

The only downside of these magazines is you need a narrow speedloader that fits in. Because the magazine internals is deep seated.

Finally a working magazine for the awesome BAR! The first magazines available for BAR were horribly made high-caps that required a lot of custom job to make the fit and feed if at all. These mags work well out of the box. They have an all metal exterior and sound great when they stack up in the dump-pouch.
Finally I can play with my BAR as I've always wanted. I think I'll need an additional five of them though!

The magazines are how they have to be. Sturdy realistic looking and reliable. Overal quality of this mags are amazing good. With 140 rounds it's a more realistic feeling and forces you into a more realistic playing style. The only disadvantage is that you can't reach the filling point with a big speedloader because it's fitted rather deep into the outer casing. This means you need a lot of smaller ones and a lot of speedloader refills. But overal this is an excellent magazine.

The original magazines I got for the BAR worked so I thought I’d buy more but Mid-Caps. Arrived super fast, perfectly in time for the match we had. Honestly, this website is just the best when it comes to airsoft. Best bang for your buck, I definitely recommend these clips if you are in need of them!

UPDATE: The magazines are at no fault to the midcap syndrome issue my M1918 has. The feed springs are very strong, I use .40's and it will feed every BB. Great construction. My M1918 came with a bent cylinder head nozzle causing the midcap syndrome.

Finally! A factory mid-cap for the BAR! And it holds 140 bbs (actually counted them). It's the same mag shell as for the hi-cap, only the internals are new. It feeds great and it's easy to service. Just great!

This mag is the reason I purchased a BAR in 2024. After nearly two decades of the replica being on the market, S&T has overhauled the BAR and given it a long awaited midcap magazine. No more conversions! I purchased 13 of them for my new BAR (12 in the 1938 cartridge (BAR) belt and one in the gun).

Yes, it is actually a midcap, reusing the same outter body that the hicap uses. I am running .40's through it no problem and have tested many other weights.

THE BAD: Each magazine will HOLD 130 rounds, but it will not feed the weapon without jaming with over 55 rounds loaded. (The weapon will fire rounds 20' or will jam entirley when fully loaded. Once mag capacity is at 60 or lower it will feed perfectly and send rounds down range as intended).

So, it is actually more like a 60rd midcap which cuts capacity in over half for a midcap fed machine gun.

I will be experementing with trimming the feed spring, a diffrent hop up, bucking, examening the tappet plate to see if any of these components will assist in feeding all 140rds. I will try leaving BB's in over a few nights to see if spring compression will assist, that would be the easiest solution.

Thank you S&T and TaiwanGun for this midcap, I hope the feeding issue will be resolved in future releases.
