hey for all you guys out there having trouble with the green gas mags. i originally had only 1/5 mags not leaking. now i have 3/5 with this new trick (the other 2 need parts)
the trick is to put the big square o-ring into the backplate. make sure it is fully seated around the perimeter. then mate it to the mag body and screw down the 4 screws to juuuuust finger tight. then shoot a blast of propane/green gas with lots of silicone in there. my theory is that this blast forces the o-ring to seal between the backplate and body. then screw in all 4 screws about half way and give it another blast of gas. it will leak at both these stages, that is normal. then tighten down the screws HARD. be very careful not to strip the screws or worse the threads in the mag. the mag should now be mostly sealed. if there are any small (hissing) leaks, they should stop after a few fills. fill it up then just leave it to seal. mine did over night. i picked them up this morning, and all 3 fired!
good luck
