Careless Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Hi guys , just brought one new , filling the mag with gas i noticed theres no o-ring for the gas cann needle to seal against, so when filling up theres abit of gas loss and impossible to know when the mags full, im guessing there should be an o-ring?, also whats the best way to load these mags ? speed loader with gbbr adaptor? ,,cant belive how cheap the whole package feels especially the LAM unit, i was expecting it to not feel like a £20.00 spring pistol but the performance and sound suppression is pretty damn sweet! the suppressor on these really makes a differance....

Supporters sp00n Posted November 11, 2016 Supporters Share Posted November 11, 2016 Nope there is no o-ring, listen to the can you can hear the gas going in, but I normally give it 10-15secs Yeah the lam is pants, but the guns finish is better then the ASG clone That's how I load mine, I use one that looks like a m4 mag, has an inbuilt flip adapter Also avoid green gas in the tm mags, there is an overpressure valve at the base that will start to leak. ASG mags fit (taiwangun's stti as well) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PT247 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 The TM mags are crap, they have an overpressure relief valve which means they don't always take green gas. They are noisy to fill. Best option would be buy some ASG Mk23 mags, they are less prone to leaks too! I tend to load mine using a swear word after loading each BB, why they didn't put a slot at the bottom of the mag wide enough to load BBs I don't know. I generally load them by hand without a speedloader but an adapter may help. Yup, any review (that I read prior to buying mine) said the same, it is cheap, nasty and just for show, just ditch it. The sound suppression is ace and the gun is very accurate too if you can get used to the trigger pull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Careless Posted November 11, 2016 Author Share Posted November 11, 2016 ah , im wondering if its the gas then as im getting about a mag and halfs worth out of a gas fill, im using asg ultrair power gas , propane 90% butane 10% ,no mention of green gas on the cann but ill have a search and see if thats the same mix , what gas do you guys use? , got a game this sunday cant wait to use it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PT247 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 I use NUPROL Black 4.0, but I don't use TM mags as they are crap. I can get around 100 full power shots from one fill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters sp00n Posted November 11, 2016 Supporters Share Posted November 11, 2016 Sounds like the overpressure valve could be leaking, as I use armsgas and I am sure I get over 100 shots out of a mag There is a method on how to "fix" the mag on the facebook mk23 owners. But if I am honest, like PT247 has said, get the ASG mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Careless Posted November 11, 2016 Author Share Posted November 11, 2016 sound! just ordered asg mags ,also searched about the gas and the gas im using is green gas so im pretty sure the leak im getting when filling up is infact the relief valve going lol , thanks for the info guys... didnt see your post spoon.. just found this , must be the same method as on the mk23 owners , looks easy enough to do so i'll probably do it tomo,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters sp00n Posted November 11, 2016 Supporters Share Posted November 11, 2016 Hmmmm never been a fan of sealant on o-rings. I would advise that if you do want to run the gun on Sunday, that you don't attempt the fix till after, just in case something goes wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Samurai Posted November 11, 2016 Supporters Share Posted November 11, 2016 You can find that tiny O ring for the valve by breaking open an empty lighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Careless Posted November 13, 2016 Author Share Posted November 13, 2016 had awesome games with this today, wow! so much fun i actually ditched the AEG for it , once your behind enemy lines its amazing to how many people you can kill , even if you miss your first shot most of the time there totally oblivious to it, Had a few people that werent quite sure what was going on lol, love it! for the fun factor and the fact you can keep your stealth after you shoot idd say its the best airsoft gun iv owned! even if it feels like a £20 budget pistol...need a hefty supply of mags though lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
