Leaking mags that take co2 cartridges fix !

[Dannn]

My tanfoglio mag was leaking, basically as soon as I fitted the cartridge all the gas fell out... It was leaking from the little doughnut shaped seal that sits around the "spike"

So I made a new one... Ground the top off a gas Cartridge, got a drill bit the same size as the doughnut seal, drilled that in to the end of the cartridge and used that as a stamp to cut out a little ring of rubber...

And to put the little hole in the middle, fit the rubber, take an old empty cartridge and fit it as usual and the cutter puts a little hole in it !

Job done.

Grab a beer.

Thank you.

Those little o-rings and the fact that the cartridge didn't always come out are the two real PITAs when it comes to the CO₂ mags I have for my WOC. Bought enlarged o-rings and a very weak spring (for ejecting the cartridge more easily) and that seemed to remedy things quite a lot.

 

Glad you fixed it.
