MK23 mags leak on duster?
I have 2 mags for my TM Mk23 that actually leak on duster gas. I know Mk23 mags have a habbit of leaking on propane, but I thought they were designed for duster? I'm planning on doing the mod for them to take propane, but still, this worried me a bit (seals on the mag instead of pressure valve??). Anyone else had this problem with SOCOM mags?

I would presume, ksc.
I had this problem for a LONG time, randomly started working properly after i stored the mag with duster & small ammounts of propane. |

Can't see the KSC MK23 being designed for duster, the slide it big and sluggish on propane as it is. I kinda figured he's talking about the TM MK23 NBB.
Hehe, he replied as I typed. Locate where the leak is from for starters, then we can help sort out the problem/fix. If it's O-ring related is one thing, it it's gasket related it's an entirely different fix. AND, NEVER ever store a mag without gas in it, it causes leaking very easily............... heck, I had a KJW M700 mag leak VERY badly after leaving it without any gas at all in it for only 3 days.

It's hard to use the mags on propane when they leak on duster. I want to find out why they're leaking first. Unfortunetly I don't know anything about gas gun mags, so I have no idea how to tell where it's leaking from.

I would have to dissassemble the mag to do that right? That'll be a pain.

Fill up the mags the spray on or submerse them in soapy water bubbles will show you the leak same way we test for leaks on fire extinguishers

That's what I was thinking, wasn't sure if I should do it to the mags. Thanks.

Submerged the mags the other day. Bubbles are coming out of the pins in the bottom of the mag. I figure this is the stupid pressure release valve inside the mag? At least that's fixable.

Ok, took the mags apart, got rid of the overpressure valve, but now they leak (10 times worse) around the seal at the bottom (not the valve.. they leak around the square rubber seal inside the mag). I siliconed the seal and reassembled.. but other than silicone, I'm not sure what to do to seal the mag better.

I use blue automotive gasket maker (doesn't harden and is temperature indifferent) from CT ($5 for the tube) to seal the rectangular gaskets on the bottoms of mags with good success. One thing you have to do though, is not fill the mag with any gas for at least 12 hours, better to go closer to 24 hours if you can, otherwise the sealer won't cure and you'll get all kinds of rubbery gum throughout your guns internals. Ahem, yes, I was in a hurry to try out one of my mags, only left it sit empty for a few hours. Lol!!
