Anyone know how to fix this? Fill it up and gas pees back out from the fill valve...

I have one that does the same, the other leaks from somewhere else.

aka Stigroadie

Unscrew the valve, put some glue in the thread and put it back in?

Try all of the above on yours though as this has fixed the problems on my mags. Get some silicon grease and smear it over the seals to see if this helps. Has a more of a lasting effect than silicone spray.

I have one that leaks from the valve. No amount of stripping, lubing or reassembling has fixed the problem so It's just fecked.

At some point I'm going to strip the valve and reassemble with a blob of silicone sealant rather than grease for a more permanent solution see if that works.

Cheers guys :D - I'm going to try the silicon spray first as Halfords was out of grease.

Does anyone know if the WE Chinese mags fit the TM 1911? I quite fancy two pistols and a bag of mags for CQB but want to make sure they're interchangeable first.

For grease, try a diving shop. They use it to put around their masks to keep the water out.
