NorthEast FAMAS - Extended Magazine Spring Guide

Replacement part for the NorthEast FAMAS (Part no. NGR01MAG0015), allowing a total of 26 BBs to be loaded in the magazines. This makes it possible to have an accurate amount of rounds loaded even after removing the last BB from the magazine, as recommended by NorthEast to reduce wear on the nozzle.

This part is comparable to other extended magazine spring guides, some of which even allow loading of up to 32 BBs. I observed a concerning amount of flexing on the plastic parts of the magazine when using these, however, so as a compromise I aimed to simply add one additional BB to achieve an accurate round count to the real-steel rifle.

Printing Instructions:

Print from the flat face wth any suitable material. No support material should be necessary.

Assembly Instructions:

Disassemble your magazine to the point from where you are able to access the spring guide, and simply use the replacement part instead when reassembling. The spring guide can be accessed using two different methods, from the top and from the bottom. However, disassembly from the top is recommended as it does not require openin up the pressure vessel.

Disassembly from the top:

Remove the two screws securing the plastic portion of the magazine in place, and lift it off by rotating it backwards. The part is hinged on the rear of the magazine, near the fill port. After this you can remove the spring follower, along with the spring and spring guide, by manipulating the dry fire mechanism. Take care, as most of these parts are not held in place unless the plastic portion of the magazine is installed, so they can easily come loose.

Disassembly from the bottom:

Push down the button retaining the magazine base plate and slide it off. Take care not to lose the retaining mechanism as it is spring loaded and is held in place by the base plate itself. Make sure the magazine is empty, then unscrew the bolt keeping the pressure vessel together. After this you can remove the spring guide.
