It depends on the damage on the valve, if its just dried out rubber components and seals it has a chance, if its the metal parts it won't stand a chance

@@tbv_shortsof course, metal parts are seldom the issue fortunately. I ask because my co2 release valve for a steel BB GBB 1911 leaks out the front of the valve. Occasionally tiny dirt particles get between the hard plastic seal and the conical sealing surface of the metal pin the hammer moves to release the gas. I cleaned it carefully but it’s still leaking. So, it’s either the plastic seal is dented or hopefully only the oring. Is there any place that sells those plastic seals?

@George.___ no idea on that one, none of my kit is steel bb shooting or co2, I've been out of the airsoft scene for a while now so I'm not massively up on retailers these days

@@tbv_shortsno problem, thanks for the reply. If it’s any help, I thought of a potential way to fix a buggered up plastic seal. Heat the top of the metal pin that seats on the plastic with a soldering iron briefly so it softens the plastic and makes a new sealing surface for itself. Haven’t tried it yet and it could be tricky but your method inspired the idea. Thanks again and be safe out there on roads while on 2 wheels! It’s always other drivers that get you.

@denysfedoriv106 The first thing you need to do is fully strip and clean the gun and put it back together with decent quality lubrication on all the moving parts. From what you are stating, it sounds like you either have a buildup of dirt from somewhere stopping things from moving as they should or a damaged seal somewhere that is allowing the mag to vent its gas. Either way you'll need to strip the gun down so may as well start with a damn good cleaning before anything else

@tbv_shorts and one more question do i have to buy some special lubrication for guns ? or l can just use something random like the one i use for my car ( at least like temporary solution )

@wala2 not if you dry it off right away, most mags are painted metal, it takes more than a couple of seconds in the water to make a mag rust. I've seen mags lost on sites for a couple of weeks that were fine

Heat transfer is an effective tool used in the motor trade for years (having bearings in the freezer is a common one to get them to fit in tight spots or putting them in a deep fat frier full of hot oil to make them expand for fitting on a tight shaft) this is basically just that but on a smaller/lower temperature scale

Not as long as your careful, I've done this literally hundreds of times as a site manager to keep customers in the game with no ill effects

So I'm on my 3rd set, the ones I reviewed got caught in an angle grinder while I wasn't paying attention, the second set got chewed up by one of my dogs when I left them out by mistake, the third set are going strong

The heat from the boiling water causes the metal and rubber seals to expand, by doing this and then pressurising the mag again with gas it stops the leaks if the rubber seals aren't overly damaged.

Glad it helped!

dip it until the bubbles stop leaking out

No idea but it doesn't sound great, no water enters the mag using this method it's the heat transfer and gas pressure that makes it work, I can't say if what you're describing works but I doubt it would given your description

I was very dubious, too. So I heated the kettle to the same extent you did and thought why not? I poured in a very small amount and bugger me it worked! I tell you, I had ditched that marker and now it's gone back in the "last resort" rack! Btw, I have a few magazine loading guns that take co2s and if they play up I will be trying your method. Great vid. @@tbv_shorts

I've never done it myself but others have said it worked for them

Not if you dry it off right away

If it didn't work your seals are likely beyond repair and will need to be replaced. The types of seal and how to take the mag to bits varies massively so you'll need to look up the specific parts and process unfortunately

@@tbv_shortsok bro so uh basically I tried to replace the seal only to find out everything is fine except the valve was very loose. Thanks for the help though as the magazine is fixed now 👍🏾

Your mag shouldn't rust by dipping it in hot water quickly doing this and then drying it right after, rust would only set in if you kept it in there for a while (multiple hours). If your mag rusted that quick I'd be seriously concerned about using it at all, I have mags that I left outside for weeks and they were fine, just dry it off right after doing this and you'll be fine

That sounds more like a valve or feeder issue from what you describe

@The Biking Viking if that's the case, should I replace the valve?

Without seeing it in person it's hard to tell, probably better for your local shop to take a look

Stick the mag in top down and give it a go

It shouldn't get massively hot to be honest, just hot enough to loosen the rubber seal, the heat in the metal dissipates pretty fast, just be sensible about putting your hands near hot water

Have you had experience of the C.A.P Airsoft and the fact I only got it yesterday and just dumps CO,2 and the complicated way it holds in. I think magazine valve gone already!

Help

If its venting after a couple of shots it could be a whole host of issues, it could be your mag seals being worn out, it could be a damaged mag valve, could be a recoil spring or hammer spring, could be a build up of dirt on or in your slide or body of your gun. There's a lot of reasons for it venting as you describe.

@@tbv_shorts thanks for info

@@tbv_shorts So you know that rubber thing on magazine so i losted it and founded it and putted it back it works better but it still leaks

@@tadess4513 ah, yeah that's a seal that works in the mag well to get the as behind the round and fire it, I'd start by replacing that with a new one as they are pretty delicate and need to make a proper seal inside the gun to make everything work correctly
