KJ M9 mag repair information

TokyoSeven · August 9th, 2007, 14:21

Ive got a KJ M9 mag thats a little leaky, well not a little leaky, it probly bleeds out the gas in under a minute.

Unfortunetly I havent been able to find a manual online that I could comprehend and the search option on asc was not able to yield much for me either. I hate to be a bother, but there are no other people that I would trust with my repair questions than you folks. So as it stands here is the low down.

Never had an issue with this mag before, the leak is recent, I usually do keep my magazines stored with gas in them, as I have been told it keeps the seals nice and tight.
Ive attempted soaking the magazine in RC silicone oil for 24 hours.
Ive gone through the usual gun maintenance of where to apply oil for regular upkeep a few times, in hopes a little extra was all it needed incase something was dried out.
I would like to dissasemble the magazine and see if anything is out of place but unfortunetly there does not appear to be any place that an allen key of screw driver would fit. The leak is coming from the bottom itself, the part where I inject my green gas/propane into. There is an audible sound of a leak and when I hold my thumb over that section the hiss is no long audible.

Ive got two kinds of silicone oil at my disposal, RC silicone from the hobby store in town and the spray silicone oil available from A&A.

I hope I have supplied relavant info, and I hope this issue is repairable. If not, a new KJ mag isnt all that pricey but Id perfer to not have to take on any additional costs at this time.

3 of my KJ mags were leaking, I soaked all the orings including the output valve rings in a bath of light weight silicone oil for several days and they swelled up quite a bit. I reassembled my mag... and 2 still leak like mad. If anybody else has an idea out there id love to hear it because I'd love to get my M9 up and ready for a game.
