Have a new .177 magazine for an Atomic XR that sticks pretty bad. It hangs on the last few shots (won't always cycle through). Moving it by hand, you can feel it is a little grindy when first rotating. Has anyone taken these apart? There's a hex screw in the center that I would assume is for disassembly, but it's pretty tight, might be loc-tited, and I don't want to force it or use heat if there's potential for damage, as I am not sure if there are any o-rings in there. I don't want to send it back if it is an easy fix.
Brocock/BRK Brocock magazine issues

Had one apart recently for an issue and mine had generous lubricant within. There is blue loctite on those, but no big deal... just go slow when opening.due to any spring tension. There is a spring within that has a 90* bend on each side which slots into tiny holes on the opposite ends of the magazine…if you open up the cover you can see one of the tiny holes and a little bit of silver metal on the wheel, this is one end of the spring. When done you will apply spring tension by twisting the magazine wheel and making sure a plastic bit rides over a nub on the magazine.… but I am a visual guy and below is a YouTube link that will give you a better idea.

I have had a few apart for cleaning. Just go slow and be patient.....That spring can fight you when rewinding for tension.

Thanks for the replies/info. Didn't seem to have any loc-tite on the screw, just very tight. As to the binding issue, I'm wondering if the spring just wasn't "wound" enough for proper function when rotating. I also didn't notice any lube any where. Do yo guys put any lube in yours for better function?

Is it possible that the screw was tightened so much that is was causing physical resistance on those last shots (when spring tension was at the lowest amount)?

I put it all back together and it functions correctly now. I think that the spring was not seated correctly from the factory. Glad it was an easy fix.
