Mag not Filling

Kane · August 16th, 2005, 22:00

I have a brand new KJ P14 mag. When I go to fill it, the propane just comes shooting out of the gas release valve? It did work when I first got it, but this problem has just risen... and its not a issue with the second mag I have. Any thoughts one how to fill it? Lube?

Cheers, Brent

Im not fimilar with the gun, but he problem sounds fimilar. I cant really explain how to fix it but it has something to do with a little swich that connects to the release valve. ...I think... try playing around with it a bit.

There isn't a valve latch on KJ Para Ords (P14?)

To my knowledge, only the KJW USP has a valve latch on the mags.

Try twiddling with the valve a bit. Stand the tank on a table and fill the mag upright. Mess with the valve a bit while pressurizing the mag. Sometimes this helps seat the valve and get it to close.

Well... it worked the first time, went to fire it, let loose 10 or so rds, then the mag emptied itself. Can't to seem to fill it again anyway. Is it possible that I've been sold a defective mag??

Thanks

maybe. Are you sure you have a KJW magazine?

IRC, the WA mags are compatible, but they have a latch mechanism which sits over the fire valve. Pull the plate down to release the valve before filling it.

The KJW mag does not require this feature. You should remove it altogether. All you have to do is unscrew the allen key there and take all the stuff off.

The valve must be fucked... I opened up the valve assembly and reinstalled it; it filled once, then nothing. Bullshit. I know AEGs inside out, and this is getting the better of me...

Well, the mag came in a KJ box...

Any other thoughts Madmax?

Try taking the valve out and soaking it in silicon oil for a while. That might help (unless you've already tried that and it didn't work).

Anybody know how to actually remove the valve? It's not as simple as it seems, its flanked by two pieces of metal that are removeable.
