Wasn't sure where to post this but it is sort of related...

What kind of grease should I use for the valve and o-ring? preferably something from canadian tire/home depot cause they're the only things nearby.

I buy silicone O-ring grease, sold at pool supplies retailers, you can also check RC stores for heavy weight shock oil.

bmak6 March 26th, 2012 19:58

Ah cheers for the quick answer.

Just make sure that whatever you buy has no petroleum byproducts.

well, if my mag is gasket maker sealed, none. just a touch of silicone oil in the gas to keep the guns internals lubed, but less than normal.

otherwise, http://www.airsoftparts.ca/store2/in...oducts_id=1321

Looks tasty. I'll have to order me some of that.

does this work on gbbr m4 mags?

brently0725 April 23rd, 2012 20:22

Hey does anyone know where to get or how to fix a missing fill valve oring. When I fill my mags with propane it sprays everywhere. My M9 mags seal up perfecty with my propane adapter but my M93R mags spray everywhere when being filled. Thanks.

Sorry to hi-jack

Yes, same idea.

anyone encounter hollow pins for the buttplate? ive looked everywhere and nobody seems to have this style of mag pin. I've got a tm m9 and i just cant seem to get them out no matter what allen key, screwdriver, punch etc im using.

whats the secret!?

coach May 5th, 2012 08:06

You could get a roll/spring pin punch but a punch and hammer will work. just make sure the pin isn't hung up on the other side or you will dent out the mag wall or floor plate enlarging the hole.

Neurotrauma May 6th, 2012 13:15

thats the thing though, I've tried a punch and hammer and its just not budging, I dont wanna smash my mag to bits cuz I dont know how much force to be using, but the things really stuck in there, im wondering if I had maybe bent it on an earlier attempt because I've tried hammering it out with literally like 5 different tools and I'm about ready to give up and go buy a new pistol that doesnt have mags like this cause now both my mags are leaking and I cant fix either one.
