Ditch the faulty cores and buy 4 kits for those mags, or buy a gasket maker tube and put some more time into it? I guess my question is: is it really worth it? Does the Gen2 reduces risks of leaks that much?

even resealed Gen 1 mags will have seal failures.. it's just a bad design.. if the mag is dropped.. it's pertty much assured it will leak .. which is why so many of mine do.. they get used by soldiers for training.. and they are not gentle with them.
I can see with the design changes.. the risk of a fall deforming the seal area to be much lower. I think that the Gen 2 mags .. will be MUCH better.
