Tm Glock Base Plate Leak - Are These Correct?

[rj1986]

So one of my glock base plate mags was leaking, so i bought these

But the base plate o ring is circular and when in place, doesn't seal fully, compared to the more angular stock one.

 

Is it a case of leaving it to soak a wee bit in silicone?

Not sure about this specific kit but all base seals on Glock mags are circular... You stretch it over and put in place and they conform to rectangular shape of the base. If these are correct for your magazine and they still leak make sure to soak them up in silicone oil before you put them on. If you're having problem with long stick mags just know that base locking mechanism is the most retarded design in existence and is prone to leak by design. You may not even need new seals, just take the base apart, take of the seal, soak in silicone, clean the base and put everything back together and it should work a treat unless your seal is literally fucked and falling apart.
