Userdr00 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I've encountered a problem with my CO2 magazine for my 1911. As soon as I insert my CO2 cartridge and the top is pierced, all the gas escapes from the top. I've opened the valves and they move freely but it is my very first time opening a magazine. I've put everything back in the way it came out still no fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick G Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Where is it escaping from ? gas escaping from the outlet on top of the mag is usually an issue with the release valve. Pop it out and clean it carefully, check the O rings and lube the valve usually fixes it. If the problem is gas escaping from the top of the CO2 bulb then I am afraid I cant help as I don't use CO2 mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Userdr00 Posted December 31, 2018 Author Share Posted December 31, 2018 Yes it's escaping from the outlet. I've cleaned it out but still no result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick G Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 It could be a bad valve then. But I would still strip it back out and clean it again. They don't have to stick much for a problem to occur. Give it a good dousing in silicone oil and work the valve for a few minutes then mop up the excess. How do the o rings look ? are they crushed or cut at all ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Userdr00 Posted January 1, 2019 Author Share Posted January 1, 2019 the rings look Ok. Nothing wrong with them. Is this the right order when re inserting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
