Description
HFC – HG190 – W10 – M9 Magazine feed lips
This is a replacement set of magazine feed lips for the HFC HG190 M9 gas pistol, part reference W10. HFC is known for well-priced gas pistols, and the HG190 is its replica of the M9 service pistol, a popular first gas pistol for many players.
The feed lips sit at the very top of a gas pistol magazine. They hold the next BB in place under spring pressure until the slide or loading nozzle pushes it forward into the hop-up. Because they take a knock every time a magazine is dropped or slammed home, they are one of the most common wear parts on any gas pistol.
Signs you need new feed lips
Typical signs of worn or broken feed lips are BBs falling out of the top of a loaded magazine, two BBs being pushed into the hop-up at once, the pistol cycling without firing a BB, or BBs rolling out of the barrel. Visible cracks or splayed lips confirm the problem.
Replacing the feed lips is a cheap and quick way to bring a tired magazine back into service, rather than replacing the whole magazine.
Fitting
Empty the magazine of all gas and BBs before you start. The feed lips are usually held at the top of the magazine by a small pin or screw, and there may be small springs or a gas router underneath, so work over a tray and keep track of every part as it comes out.
Fit the new part in the same orientation as the old one, then check that the follower moves freely and that BBs sit correctly in the lips before you gas the magazine. Test the magazine with a small fill first and look and listen for leaks.

Compatibility
Made for HFC HG190 M9 magazines. M9-pattern pistols from other brands use different magazine parts, so check your pistol and magazine model and compare with the product photos before ordering.
Care and maintenance
Avoid dropping loaded magazines onto hard surfaces, as the top of the magazine takes the impact. Use clean, seamless BBs, and put a drop of silicone oil on the fill valve and seals every few games.
Store gas magazines with a small amount of gas in them so the seals stay tight, and never use petroleum-based oils, which can swell and damage rubber seals.
Who is it for?
Ideal for HFC HG190 owners with feeding problems, and for techs who keep common wear parts in stock.
Please note: Supplied as the part only; the magazine, pistol, gas and BBs are not included. Wear eye protection when testing gas magazines.
