Video explaining and demonstrating the most common issue with 1911 Co2 Magazines. Here i demonstrate how the valve fails and how to replace it along with some Tips, do's and don'ts!
Your post here is very valuable! I have found that the valve CANNOT seal in the first place. The little bitty O-ring's counterbore is too deep for the O-ring's wall thickness (cross section). Secondly, regarding the white Nylon (TM) piece: The metal poppet-to-Nylon interface seal is inherently leaky. Other CO2 valves, from other manufacturers, have O-rings at that same poppet interface. This CO2 valve design is woefully deficient in 2 areas: the little bitty O-ring/counterbore fit and the (inherently leaky) poppet-to-Nylon seal. All of this is 'fixable' through a MINOR REDESIGN ... rectangular-cross-section-gasket (first issue) and an elastomeric seat or O-ring at the poppet location (second issue).
I like that you 'suggest', or 'hint' at the notion: ... if you DON'T have mechanical aptitude, then buy a new valve or magazine.This will save hours of needless frustration and dollar$.
I live in Turkey where most Airsoft items aren't sold and instead of shipping this kit from overseas i just used a scissor and opened it ever so slightly to fit the two notches and screwed it out that way. Great video.
honestly the issue could be a dry O-ring in the valve seat. sometimes you just need to soak them in heavy silicone oil for a day or 2. if you use your pistol a lot, a drop of silicone oil on the tip of a C02 capsule every 3 months should keep it from drying out. preventative maintenance saves a lot of money and headaches
Hey this video helped a lot. I was wondering what other O-ring type problems I had to figure out, but that inner O-ring was pinched so it couldn't get a good seal. Thanks again for the help. :)
nice video, please do a video on the full re assembly if it comes to it please :)) also only noting from the video but don't tighten the cartridge as much as that brakes the seal a lot easier, ive found looser is far better than tighter and makes mags last 10x longer :))
Thanks for the video! After changing this valve, the input valve and the black gasket at the top, my mag still leaks a bit after inserting a new co2 cartridge and it stops hissing after 30 seconds... I think I should replace the valve o-ring. Is there a particular way to do it or do I just have to remove the old one with some pliers and then insert the new one?
I just purchased this 1911 but right out of the box I was missing the co2 piercing screw would you know the thread size and pitch so I can buy one at local store thanks for any help
Is that mag compatible with a .50AE Full auto desert eagle cybergun c02 magazine. Bc as soon as i load mine it just blows gas EVERYWHERE. IT HAS REALLY "P" ME OFF. I cant find any vids on it

Thank you i replaced a valve on a pt99 from cybergun after watching your video and that fixed the leak. Awesome!!!

Awesome, Glad you were able to figure it out! Happy to help!
Muito obrigado, direto do Brasil!

Pullin off eith another videoooooooooooooo!!!!!
Great video. What kind of tool did you use to unscrew the valve from the magazine and what are the dimensions of the tool ?
