    Hi,
    Is there any quick fix for leaky/faulty action valve (Marui MEU magazine)? I know I can return the gun but... I was hoping to use it over weekend..
    Looks like the valve doesn't hold at all - when loading magazine all the gas escapes through action valve...
    Any chance for quick fix...?

    if its fully tightened and still leaking you could try remove the valve and soak it in brake fluid for 24 hours, before refitting.

    Action valve?

    Is your gun brand new, or is it second hand? When you fill Marui magazines with gas there is a lot of noise and loads of gas escapes as you're filling due to a lack of an o-ring on the fill valve. Is that what you are experiencing?

    Or when you fill the magazine is it coming straight out of the top of the magazine (via the release valve)?

    On the bottom of the magazine on the base-plate there is a retention screw; tighten the screw and retest. You can also tighten the valve to improve the seal however you need a valve key to do so.

    It's a release valve that's faulty. I removed it and it seems to be "bent" slightly and it doesn't close fully (even with brand new seal).
    Any idea where to get replacement valve in Dublin...?
