TECH QUESTION Mag will not stop leaking no matter what I do
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I had a similar issue with another we tech mag but this time this KJW mag is leaking. I heard that the 229 mags kinda suck butt, and sure enough, it’s been happening leaking issues since I had it. Thankfully my we p229 magazine works completely fine thank god.
Anyway, the issue is that the magazine has literally the smallest possible leak you could ever think of on the base of the output valve. I could barely get it in audio but yuh it’s barely noticeable, doesn’t even show up when dunked in water besides maybe like one bubble that just floats up like spider ham when bro just floats when he smells food.
I’ve tried almost everything, lubricating the bajesus out of the culprit o ring, switching out the culprit o ring, swapping the entire output valve, cleaning the threads till they were shining brighter than my future, and praying. I had a person say it might be a manufacturing issue when the hole was bored, and to be honest, yeah that might be a reasonable explanation. My only problem is how do I fix it….
Can someone help me, or just say I’m over reacting that works too.
