Bell MEU Magazine problem

[Fox62]

Anyone got this gun? For what I heard, it's very nice for the price (I got it to re-sell, anyway), but I tried it out, and it looks like I'm gonna have to get a spare mag to be able to sell it properly, since the one that came with it doesn't work. I have a real hard time loading it with gas, and even when I do (after trying multiple times), it will only work for 10 shots at most. I took the mag apart and reassembled it, even the loading valve (which I think is the problem).
Anyone else have similar stuff happen to them? Possible solutions?
I wouldn't even like to get another Bell mag, as they don't really inspire much trust in me, and cost about as much as any other. So in case I have to get a replacement, what would you suggest?

try resealing the mag with gasket maker, if you can find any in your area :

if this doesn't work you might have a valve problem.

Well, but that would solve leaking issues, which I don't appear to be having. It's a really simple mechanism all in all, so I don't really know WTH's up.

Have you tried it with another mag? Make sure that the gun just isn't a gas hog and doing something wonky first if you can.

I don't have another mag. But it's not the gun, the mag isn't loading gas properly, I have several other GBB's, and I even took the whole MEU apart; it's all good, and theoretically, so is the mag :-/

So then how do you know the mag "isn't loading gas properly"?

Because I have an insanely difficult time actually making it load those 10 shots. It shouldn't be that hard, so that indicates there's gotta be something wrong with the mag. In my last attempts, I haven't even been able to get it to load that small amount of gas.

Propane tank empty? Filling gas properly (upside down)?

As I stated before, I have several GBB guns (including a highly modded DMR), so I know how to load a mag. Tried with propane and green gas cans, no luck :-/.
The guys from Airsofttiger told me to send them a video of me loading it, so they'll hopefully replace it...
