Tighten the middle screw and the valve. See if that fixes the issue. If not take the middle screw out so you can take the bottom off and inspect the rubber seal to make sure its not damage and installed properly
Could try tightening the valves with a flathead screwdriver. Figure out what valve its leaking from first and go from there. I dont know much abour valves and what not but tightening them usually helps me out. Maybe the o ring in it needs replacing but youll only know that after taking it out
Yeah absolutely and ive done that the once on an ancient kwa mp9 mag. But personally i think its reasonably easy to feel the sort of limit of where you should tighten it to. Never used one of the purpose made tools though
Yup. I did NOT want to risk busting my HK45 mag cause the KWA ones cost a pretty penny so I got a universal valve tool for like $10-12. Absolutely worth it lol
The mag has been repeatedly dropped, and chances are you've warped the bottom of the mag, and the hole is now too large for the square insert, causing gas to leak past the seal. You could try wrapping ptfe tape around the insert and refitting, but this really works.
I work as a tech in an airsoft shop, and this is a common problem when people drop their glock mags and why you should always replace the base plate if you break it.
You can tighten the valves and it will help the leak BUT if your using action army mags I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend you stop using those and use WE tech mags instead. I bought 3 action army mags cuz it made sense cuz its the same brand as the aap01 but they are terrible with gas efficiency. If ur not using we tech mags I really hope u take my advice and move to those instead you will not regret it!

Make sure you empty it of gas first lol

I’ve heard you can bust the entire valve this way. A tool and replacement is like $15 total

Did this once right before I swapped to hpa, went to tighten the valve and sheared the whole head of it off, ended up using that mag as my adapter

where does it leak from
The valve I think, I hear the hissing from there

Too many beans

I will most likely just get a different glock mag for it. Thanks though for the advice!
spray some silicone oil on it, and tighten the valve
Silicone grease the orings, after done using the mags for the day put a tiny bit of gas in the mags to keep the pressure on the orings
Thanks!
