Both of my mags for the kjw 1911 (both are TM) started leaking today when I finished cleaning & lubing, suddenly at first, then gradually for a while. This is my first GBB & I looked to the forums for advice. Before running out for teflon tape (seal looks fine) I just tightened the allen key screw on the bottom, filled with propane & no leak. So I did the same on mag 2, no leaks! Strange that they both did that on the same day, but I thought I should share the simplest fix too.

One question; What is the best way to store a mag, totally full, or with just a bit of propane to keep pressure on the seals?
