    I just got a Glock magazine delivered but when I put gas in it it leaks out the top, is it faulty or can it be sorted easily?

    Might I add the gas is leaking out the top near the release valve not at the bottom

    And also I burnt/hurt th **** out of my hand when the gas didn't go in the first time and sprayed all over me :(

    Try spraying silicon oil in and around the valve, and manually work the valve.

    Gas really shouldn't burn ye unless its on fire :confused:

    Yeah just push it so the oil can seep in.

    If that really doesn't work, you can remove the valve and oil the o-ring and grease the threads, but ye don't want to mess with that yet.

    So I put oil on the brass colored bit with the silver bit in the middle and push it in? or should I put the oil in the rubber bit where the gas comes out?

    As long as its silicon oil and not wd-40 or ANY petroleum based rubber eating oil, put the oil everywhere, as you said above those are the places to oil.

    No that didn't work.... I found though that the gas comes out alot quicker when the mag is upside down then when it's the right way up :(

    soak the leaking part in the silicone oil as sam said, bu8t also make sure the mag is warm . then gas it and fire it a few times, it should seal itself from use. if not it'll need some silicone grease on it or maybe a new seal.,

    the burn your talking about is a freezer burn, you can die from that...

    Exaggeration much?

    Also I tried to warm up the mag, put some more oil on, filled it up as best i could and fired a few shots off but still leaking

    Is that a Meister Glock mag by any chance? I have a meister glock and the mag leaked a lot when I got it. I put silicone oil on all the leaky bits, to no avail. I ended up taking the thing apart and was shocked by the poor quality o-rings used. I replaced all the o-rings with good quality ones and the leaks were gone. The meister glock mags are notoriously bad.

    No idea, It came in a pictureless blue box. Anyway it's on its way back to where I got it from for a replacement so it's all good
