The gun is a TM Steyr Aug, the Mags are KingArms 45rnd Low-Caps

I just finished putting in a guarder infinite torque tune-up kit kit in my AUG and everything is smoooooth. It sounds crisp, no grinding, shimmed perfectly, switched to Deans Ultra connectors. Fixed the semi-fire problem I had and everything seems to be perfect EXCEPT...
Only 1 out of 4 full auto shots actually fire a BB and semi is 1 in 10.
BUT
If I tilt the gun 180 degrees and fire it 'upside-down' with the mag gravity feeding it shoots 100% of the time on semi and full auto.

All my mags were full of BBs and they were left there from my last game sometime in the summer. August I think.

Am I doomed?

SOLUTION:
The mag was sitting loose on the hop-up feed, pushing up on the mag would allow the bbs to feed correctly.
I noticed the way the mag works is the actual mechanism slides out the top of the plastic shell and is held in place by a small screw at the bottom that runs through a slide on cap/cover. I shimmed/stuffed the bottom with cotton balls (hey it was close and actually works really well) so that the nozzle of the mag is now 3 mm higher then it was compared to before and now its shooting at 100%.

Thanks everyone for your help.
