witchcraft58a Posted December 21, 2019 Posted December 21, 2019 ....feeling righteous! Nothing more really, but a satisfying couple of hours work ? Especially two battered and stubbornly leaky extended TM Glock mags, now working like a charm. Also installed 5 of these bad boys, really great quality! https://shop.jkarmy.com/jdg-floyds-licensed-magazine-extension-pad-for-tm-we-glk-model-functional-gas-bbs-rds.html Happy Christmas!
MAX DICKER Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 I've run many gas pistols and a couple of GBBR's over the years and have never needed to repair a mag. Has the hot water trick gone out of fashion in recent years? I swear I've shown it to people and they look at me like I'm a scorcerer
witchcraft58a Posted January 5, 2020 Author Posted January 5, 2020 These were a selection of mags I got second hand, so were in various states of repair, gas tightness! Would love to learn about the hot water trick though....
MAX DICKER Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 Ah fair enough. Leaky mag, drop in boiling water. Whilst still hot, refill with gas. Repeat until leak stops. This has never failed me. Sometimes just the one dunk is needed, sometimes more.
witchcraft58a Posted January 5, 2020 Author Posted January 5, 2020 I've never heard of that one! I suppose the hot water is 'refreshing' the rubber seals... If it works, it works!
Supporters Adolf Hamster Posted January 6, 2020 Supporters Posted January 6, 2020 ahh yes the hot water trick. tbh for green gas mags i've never had an issue that a drop of silicone and filling back up wouldnt fix. co2 mags on the other hand......
witchcraft58a Posted January 6, 2020 Author Posted January 6, 2020 I use the APS co2 mags which are awesome, but a pain to refill mid game....

Yeah I have always always kept my mags pressurised. I almost always use Colemans propane though so my mags must be dry as a nuns chuff.
