1911 CO2 mag repair

jack s · 2009-10-18 21:48:11

Hi I have a couple of CO2 mags for my lovely 1911 and they have developed a fault, that is leaking all the CO2 once the container is breached! Can anyone recommend a valve as this seems to be common! Cheers Jack JNA

Or you can just unscrew the valve and spray a light coat of Silicone oil on them. It's an easy 10 min job, I can mail you a couple of photos if you're stuck.

Hey Jack,
I had a similar problem with my 1911 mags(green gas), take out all the valves, wrap a bit of teflon tape around them(you really don't need much) and spray some silicone oil on them. Hopefully it should fix it.
Ger.
