Hey everyone. as most of you probably know, i have the maruzen ppk/s, which by the way is great, but, lately i have been having some mag issues. once i have the mag for a while, (about a month), it starts leaking gas slowly, then progresses to more and more and more and eventually i have to fire the mag within a minute otherwise the gas is gone. Is there anything i can use to fix these? If so, what? P.S. i have already tried tacky glue, super glue, hot glue, etc etc. Laughing thanks

What part of the magazine is the gas leaking from??

~ If its from the bottom, you need to tighten that area where you put gas INTO the mag with a flat head screw driver.

~ If from the top, you most likely need a new one of those rubber pieces where the gas EXITS the magazine, if our magazines are alike.

Unfortunatey,those rubber pieces can be EXTREMELY hard to find.

No, it leaks from that gold part, that has a button to release all the gas. Is there some sort of sealant i can put on that part, since i really don't use the button anyway.

There should be a rubber seal inside that valve. It has probably split/shrunk.
If you can get inside the mag or remove the valve, try using black silicon sealant (I think it's called Mastick here in the UK), I used it to re-seal my M700 mag and it's holding Green Gas with no probs.
You can get it in hardware stores, I think plumbers use it and PVC window contractors.
Let it dry over night before refilling your mag.

Oh, If I'm right this may be an easy fix. That button is actually kind of like a screw an most GBB mags. If you grab a flat-head screw-driver, and push the button in, you should be able to tighten that up. just don't push the button in too hard, ot it will get stuck pushed in. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

ok i will try that. The black button in the middle has no notches or anything in it, but the gold part around it has notches. Do you mean tighten the notches? Or do you mean push the button down and then turn it to the right, with some sort of tool.

Ok. I'm still having trouble, because now both mags for my ppk are leaking. My newer one took a while.. Ok. Both are leaking out of that black button i described earlier. I have now tried caulk, and i was going to try some product called great stuff, but i can't get it out of the can. There are little notches along the rim of the black button, and the metal ring the notches are on is colored gold. The black button is on the back of the mag, meaning if you were looking at all the bbs in your mag, its the exact other way. It is more to the top of the mag as well, very close to the top. I should also say that when i depress the black button, or at least when i would depress it when my mags were still working, gas would come out. So i'm not sure still what to do, if you still don't know what i am talking about, i will post a picture. Just ask. So please help. thanks

Sorry about the frantic typing, my mags need help though... lol

DO NOT USE ''GREAT STUFF'' it is a foam made for keeping air in/out of a place but don't use it it is an expanding foam and wont do you much good considering its porous! and does not stick well to plastic and metal!!!!

Mgunner is right. It wont stick to metal or plastic but if you put it in a confined location it will press itself against the walls and wont budge.

Ok, if i shouldn't use that, then what should i use? there doesn't seem to be a paste, tape or foam out there that can fix my leak.

Hello? What i asked before was does anyone know of any sort of thing i can put on or inside that black button on my gun to make it stop leaking? I have been searching google frantically and have no results so far.

Alright, so i guess the hope is lost. I should probably be on my merry way and just buy new mags, right?
