Yup, i know what you mean, a few of my magstrike clips also slide back down after firing, but i also have a few which can stay in position properly... so i guess its probably a cause of manufacturing variations between the different production batches (i've measured all my magstrike clips to compare and their widths could differ by as much as 2-3 mm).
Luckly its easy to solve, simply stick a few layers of duct tape/rubber tape along the side of your Magstrike clip, this will provide enough friction to keep the clip in position when firing in bursts, i've done it and it works. Here is a photo of how its done by Forsaken_angel24 at Nerfhaven:

http://nerfhaven.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=7202Yeah, I'd be keen to get the new Yellow N-Strike Magstrikes and Rapid Fire 20s, if its in stock i'd probably make a trip up to get them.
Heys, let me know when the stocks come in? I called TRU Jusco about 2-3 weeks back and the manager told me that Hasbro isn't bringing in anymore Rapid Fire 20s... =\
U confirm that they told u that they're bringing the Rapid Fires in? I don't mind the N-strike Mags too =D
Let me know when u're going yea? i might just clear the Rapid Fire stocks there =P

Added on April 16, 2009, 10:57 pmoh.. and one more problem.
I moded my recon previously and added some oil to the inside of the plunger~ so that the bigger o-ring doesnt get stuck~~ its not really big actually.. and i invited some friends to my house to play.. it was used quite "brutally".. (they cocked the gun real hard and fast) and after that day i havent touched the gun.. and a few days before i got bored and shot it.. it lost energy... even though the AR is out... it use to sound like PUP! and now... puff == it cant even reach 25 feet.... sad sad sad T.T someone help...
There's a few versions of the magstrike. I think there's a model before the Ironman series but i have never seen them around in malaysia or singapore. I heard that there were some issues (air leaks etc) with it and it was replaced by the updated Ironman version fixing some of the issues. But Ironman version also has some problems such as the clip dropping problem i mentioned earlier (hence the mod above). Finally, the N-strike Magstrike is supposed to have all the problems fixed - so that's probably the best magstrike to buy if u see it =D
There's no 20 round magstrike - that's why i still like my Rapid Fire =D I think it is possible to mod the gun to hold a 20 round clip but from what i noticed - it would require a lot of modding - i think making the extended clip is somewhat easy - the problem maybe modding the gun itself to hold the clip. I haven't checked forums if they have done that yet though. Maybe there's a solution out there already =D
You might want to check your spring mechanism - it sounds like the spring isn't able to fully 'force the air' out - there might be a leak somewhere. The rough handling might have caused a crack somewhere around the plunger area? But this is my novice's advice - i have no clue on the exact mechanisms of the recon. I seriously doubt its the fault of the oil though. Sorry cant be of more help.
Maybe the rest of the forum guys might know better =D
