Hi guys, I recently picked up a second hand TM MP7 with 5 mags. One is leak free but the others all have leaks. I've tried using a silicone lube on the o rings to no effect. I've replaced the o rings with new ones and I still have leaks. I read online about using a silicone gasket maker so I've tried that on one magazine and let it cure over 24 hours, tried refilling with gas and it still leaks. I'm kind of at a loss on how to salvage/repair these magazines. Any help or advice would be appreciated

Dude, you're awesome. Thank you

Ah, so I've taken a look at the bottom of the battery compartment and it doesn't have the rubber bumper or the springs so I'm guessing this is where the issue lies.

I've just come into possession of a genuine Eotech, however it needs some kind of servicing or repairs done to it regarding the battery compartment and battery contacts. I believe the model is a Eotech 511 but not entirely sure. Can anyone point me in the direction of any tech who can perhaps help get this working?

Should it be bent slightly upwards or completely straight?

Thanks for the advice guys. I'm pretty sure it's the nozzle loading arm. The last time this happened though I had gas venting from the magazine. This time the bolt just doesn't travel forward as it should.

Thanks for this mate, Done all these checks and everything seemed ok...until I went to test it out. Clip attached because I'm still at a loss. VID_20240930_152755.mp4

I'm hoping someone might be able to help, I've had a keyword search through the forums but can't seem to find anything relating to the current problem I have with my MWS. I'll insert a full magazine into the rifle and pull the charging handle back to get it ready to fire. I'll fire one shot and then the bolt gets stuck halfway through cycling and won't fire any more. The gas doesn't vent out of the magazine when this happens either. I don't think it's the loading nozzle as the first shot ALWAYS leaves the rifle as it should. This happens with all of my magazines. The gun is stock and I'm using 144a gas.

Would like to get everyone's opinion on the value of the IDZ stock and rail. Got this second hand but I prefer the original G36C look so I was hoping to sell/swap these to get the original G36C rail and stock.

Sorry guys, I should have made it clear. I've written the gun off as a loss to be honest. I was just giving an update on the situation and keeping it on topic at the same time. Unfortunately for her, now that I've got no other distractions I'm completely focused on getting my son back into my care and safety.

Big thanks for all the advice guys, I actually attempt to talk to her in person at her door (didn't step over the threshold) regarding the more important subject of contact with my son etc. And if I could have him stay with me for a few days. This was shot down straight away with lies about Children Services saying I'm not allowed to see him at all until Parenting Assessments are done etc. (No cautions against me or anything like that) I even called both 101 and Children's Services to ask if me going over there to talk to her regarding contact would go against me and they both said no. Anyway, she gets on the subject of giving me my gun if I pay her money for it, I ask where it is and she tells me she's given it to her older brother and it's currently at his house! So now I have no idea if this is correct or not. But she's given it away to someone else and it's currently in their possession.

Want to say a big thanks to @Tackleand @Emergencychimpsin particular for the help and advice. I retrieved all my other belongings with the police on the 27th December, however the RIF Is the only item she kept from me. Unfortunately she knows how important that RIF was for me as it kept me in the sport and the sport in turn allowed me a healthy and physical output for my mental and physical health. Because we have a 2 year old son together and the police are at least aware of the Domestic Abuse from her I haven't outright made a complaint to the police, more so because I have no real proof and evidence to back me up, it just descends into a he said/she said situation. I was just hoping the Legal side of things regarding RIFs would have allowed me to get it back more than anything.

Hi, thanks for the advice. I actually have it from her in messages multiple times. In regards to the relationship without getting into too much Jeremy Kyle Material. She snooped and found a draft email I was writing up regarding her controlling and coercive behaviour towards me as a method my GP and Wellbeing recommended for me to cope with my situation. It was never intended to be sent or read by anyone else. So I guess I had a part to play in the demise of the relationship.

Hi, So some of you may have seen my previous post in General regarding my ex girlfriend stealing my RIF. She has no UKARA Defence and no legitimate reason to keep it. I paid for it using my funds, my bank account, UKARA Number etc. And it's all in my name. She is saying that she will give it back once I pay her £350. The police have said this is a civil matter so I understand that but they also said it becomes a crime if she makes any attempt to sell it. My question is, if she is asking me for a large sum of money for the RIF is this not technically an attempt to sell it?

She kicked me out at 2am with pretty much just the clothes on my back.
