KWA Magazine Charging Valve O-Ring

Post by Razgriz1992 » Sun Jul 15, 2012 11:10 pm

Hey guys well I got a new KWA M1911 Mark IV at Operation Apple Pie. Have used the gun a little bit but ran into a problem today. It keeps leaking the green gas when I try to fill it. Found out it was the 0-Ring. Now the KWA official webiste is out of them at this time so does anyone know where i could get some or does anyone have any I can use because I really want to use it at the game in Redfox. Thanks guys.

That's a "silent fill" O-ring. It makes it a little bit more efficient when you fill the mag, but it's not hurting anything to not have it there.

Oh okay. Well it seems to only get maybe 3-5 shots off when I fill it with gas maybe I just have to hold it there longer. Thanks for the information Steevol.

Use a new can of gas if the one you have is getting low. Then, do 3 or 4 fills that are about 5 seconds each. Pause between each fill for a few seconds to let the gas warm up
