How do you stand that smell?!?!
A note on sealing stuff up.....
On the mags that I looked at there was significant rust on the screws that hold the back plate onto the gas resevoir. I suspect the mag was washed clean to remove any oil/grease before it was sealed with the gasket stuff.
Doing so though resulted in LOTS of corrosion to the screw heads and thread bodies of the screws. Enough so that the holding power of the threads were compromised.
You might want to pull one screw at a time and check them...
One of the holes in the main part was stripped out...you can use a slightly larger self tapping screw to replace the stock one. It seems to be holding well.
But, I'd advise against washing off the screws....unless you take steps to protect them from corrosion again, or replace them with new ones (they're standard screws).
