KJW M92F - Leaky mags.

Re: KJW M92F - Leaky mags.

I tried last night. The gas is leaking from around the bottom plate as well as the valve. I pulled it all apart and the valve looks easy enough to fix/replace o-ring but the bottom plate seems to use grease as a seal. Is this just silcone grease?

should be. i've never come across anything other than silly in my mags. in my experience grease goes in the guns, not the mags.

This has loads of it. The bottom plate has a proud square of metal that slips inside the mag casing. This is covered in grease. I can't see any other seal for this bit. Its leaking very badly, takes about 10 seconds to empty the mag. I'll try re-greasing it, if not liquid gasket will be used!!

I ordereD a kjw m9 last night so no doubt I'll be posting back in this section soon wanting a fix for the inevitable mag leaks

You could try putting ptfe tape under the oring, giving that a good lube too.

Good idea Hunter, I could wrap ptfe round the bottom plate insert piece as well. The good thing with the KJW is that the mags are £20 each so not the end of the world should it need completely replacing.

Hi my handy hint for leak free mags is always have gas in them that way the seal will stay tight and the rubber will not shrink because if you have your mags lying around say in the winter the rubber can shrink and crack then when you go to use then they leak .

I just had this problem, and I soaked the orings in silicon grease overnight and that fixed everything, give it a try.

I've had this problem before, all i did was go to b&q grab a pack of o-rings put a very tight one on it and pop it back together, didnt put any oil or anything on it. Its been working well for the last 3-4 months.

Re: KJW M92F - Leaky mags.

Fixed about 9 magazines that where leaking from the bottom in a week for my squad by doing the following on a flat surface with edges encase anything small falls out of your mag you will be able to catch it.

############

~ Empty said magazine of any gas by either valve switch in small bursts or firing blanks then with valve switch then if needed remove magazine proud / bottom then slowly (and carefully) open the bottom using a screw driver (or a allen / hex key depending on your magazine)

~ Check the O-Ring on the section you have just removed from the magazine, if it appears to be intact then simply apply non-corrosive silicon oil (NOT WD-40), massage the oil into the O-Ring and spray a little into the valve in the mag bottom.

~ If your O-Ring has split, simply purchase a new one from a hardware store or your local airsoft stockist then also apply the silicon oil.

~ Feed a little gas through the valve, avoiding the jet towards your eyes, spray it away from yourself.

~ Redo up the magazine, making sure to tighten but not over-tighten the screws

~ Fill up your magazine pref with maintenance gas or abbey ultra gas, if you don't have these then use your normal gas

~ If all has gone well you should not have a leaky mag anymore =D

Hope this helps.

Hate to open up an old thread. But this is probably the fastest way to contact all you guys who know what you're talking about with M92Fs.

Ive had problems with the gas firing but no idea if its mags or the gun. 2 different mags, both ive submerged and dont appear to have any bubbles leaking out of the mags.

When the mags are filled as much as they will hold, it will fire 2 shots and then die off on the 3rd. Same everytime. The 2nd mag ive just bought and its the same with that. Any ideas what i can do? =[
