I'm sure somebody has covered these problems before but I'm cr#p with the search things and forums and what not. Sorry for the repetition.
I have a leaking mag on a walther PPK. How do I fix this please?
It seems to leak from the inlet valve (minor, you can just hear it when you put the mag to your ear) and the 'shootie' valve at the top which is a bigger leak. I am trying to change the gaskets on the shootie valve and think I just about have it, but still seems to leak.
Are there lubricants and sealants I should be using?
Thanks for any help! :(

One of the standard fixes seems to be soaking the O rings/seals in brake fluid as this causes them to swell also using silicon grease when reassembling helps.

On my TM 1911 mags just tightening the bottom screws stopped them leaking.

Give me a big enough hammer and a place to stand and I could fix the world.
i'll kill a man in a fair fight or if i think he's going to start a fair fight or over a woman or.......
a problem shared is a problem halved ,but an advantage shared is no advantage at all
if a job's not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well
