Gas in the mag?

Feb 22, 2008 10:50pm
I just fired a gas airsoft gun for the first time, because I got my propane adapter. I was wondering, is it bad to leave the gas in the mag and not use it all up? I wasnt sure so I made sure I shot all of the gas out. I figured I'd ask to make sure. Thanks for the help.

Ive kept gas in the mag for a long time with no ill effects. None of the GBB mags I have ever had (as an original owner) has ever had any seal problems.

I like to leave enough gas for a shot or two in the mag at all times. I generally shoot the mag empty and then give it a quick spurt to be sure all the seals stay tight and firm.

I do a 1 second shot of green gas. Just make sure theres enough silicone oil to keep the orings lubed.

well if u use propane, u might want to empty it.. if u use green gas, leave a little inside to keep a little lube in the mag

if you're using propane over greeng as, take some silicon spray lube hit your bottom insert valve, back o ring and top valve to keep them wet
