Leaky mags

Nov 15, 2003 9:48pm
Well, I rented out my Glock 18c at the game today, and I get it back, and all the magazines leak gas. What do I need to fix this? New o-rings? Where can I get them, and how much do they cost?

Bump. Really need some info here.

where is it leaking from? which valve?

The one you fill it from.

email airsoft extreme. they usually stock fill valves. Probably busted the fill valves somehow. take em out and see if they are cracked maybe

How do I take them out?

should just be a screwdriver. obviously make sure there is not gas in the mag. if you can't figure out whats wrong. maybe Shawn could look at it.

Ok, I got it apart. I don't see any cracks or anything, but when I tried putting gas through just the valve, very little to nothing came out the other side. I know for a fact it was overfilled at least once. Any ideas?

Figured out the problem. Thankfully, it wasn't the magazines at all, just the gas canister.

so, it wasn't leaking out of the mags... it was leaking out of the gas canister... hmm. what, when you were filling them or what?

lol lucky you didnt get all mad at the guy who rented it..... if you didnt that is.

Yeah, as I tried to fill it, the gas just sprayed back out. One of them did leak a little bit, but I just tightened the valve, and they all work fine now. But Fortress did sell me a bad gas canister...

are you sure its the cannister and not the way your filling them?

I'm sure, cuz I tried another bottle and it worked perfectly, and I still can't get the original one to work.
