mp5k mags and gas holding problem

[JOE90]

to put it simply, mags leak like a bitch, and gas just emptys itself out of the barrel of gun after about 5-6 shots, like a big release of gas, ive had no luck buying off these forums lately lol

Couple of options for the leaky mags,
1) take out all the seals and the realese valve and soak them overnight in hydraulic or brake fluid.
2) take them out and use instant gasket to make a good seal.
What gas are you using in the gun?

green at the moment, could this be the issue? it just releases itself after a few straight out the barrel and hates full auto!

Re: mp5k mags and gas holding problem

do they leak from the inlet or outlet valve

Re: mp5k mags and gas holding problem

inlet, i did tighten them but ive just this minute got the gun so dont know hella lot about em? could the green be causing the discharge of gas after around 5-6 shot as the pressure may be to much?

Re: mp5k mags and gas holding problem

i dont know, ive used green gas in mine, not extensively though and they seem ok...its been a while since they have been skirmished with, so now im thinking that they need a service,just to make sure

Re: mp5k mags and gas holding problem

not sure then, maybe it needs a god bit of usage as i dont think its been used for a while

Re: mp5k mags and gas holding problem

Update, now fires one shot and completely unloads gas from mag as if something is jamming the release valve in, seems fine to me though. please help ive just got this thing?
