I saw those two links, but one goes to a quick disconnect. I cannot figure out what the other one goes to by the picture or description. I am interested in the magazine to 4mm tube that he described:

Just keep the internals of the GBB lubed.

I have the adapter from the magazine connected to a 4mm hose which leads to a 4mm to 6mm adapter and then the 6mm hose to 1/8" NPT to 1/4" NPT to my air source.

I can find the other adapters (4mm to 6mm, and 6mm to 1/8", and 1/8" to 1/4"), but not the first one (magazine to 4mm tube).
Any idea where I can find tha one?

Yes, and if you follow the protec link, you will see 3 different valve adapters that are quick disconnects. Do you really want a permanent air line attached to your mag?

You need to purchase a fill valve adapter, the corresponding QD connector and 4mm hose. You can get the 4mm to 6mm connectors in country.

I see.

I'm a bit worried about having a QD (used daily) that is only attached to a small hole on my magazine. It seems that it would break off readily.

I think I may just tap the magazine to 1/8" NPT to give it a secure fitting. This would also give it a standard port that can attach to just about anything.

They are not fragile unless you plan on doing speed reloads in your basement.

You will need a QD somewhere in your air system unless you plan to never dismantle it/disconnect it.

Basically, the valve fitting is just an adapter to connect a 4mm hose/tube. 6mm hose coming off of a pistol mag is a bit chunky as is any 1/8NPT fitting. I'll post some pictures later of what mine looks like as well as what you'll expect to see for attaching a 1/8NPT to 6mm slip fit connector on the end of a mag.
