My recently purchased chrome Star BM has been cleaned and lubed. I have read about many problems with this gun on line. However, I have not encountered this one: live rounds are being ejected. Sometimes the result is an empty chamber. Sometimes the following round is picked up and chambered. I am but a novice, but the magazine looks like it is not holding things very tightly. Aside from getting a new mag, is there any other cause anyone can think of (and therefore a possible solution)? Yes, the trigger is pulled, gun goes bang, spent case ejects, live cartridge ejects...sometimes a live round chambers and sometimes the gun jams. Wild.

Bad feed lips on the mags most likely.

My problem was solved by a new magazine from promag. Easy solutions are nice.

That's got to be the first time I heard of a promag fixing a problem vs causing them.
