Brand new mag leaking from Lip Seal

Rush · July 16th, 2012, 20:23

Well, I have looked around but couldn't seem to find a how to on fixing a pistol mag that's leaking from the Lip Seal. So here's my story, I just received my brand new TM P226 E2 in the mail, after tearing off the packing paper I then proceeded to run downstairs and attempt to fill it up with gas to give it a try. To my dismay, as soon as I pressed the propane down, the mag began to spew gas from the lip seal. This is my first GBBP in a long while and my knowledge of them if practically nil. I managed to find some videos of dis assembly and took apart the mag to see if any of the rubber seals were cracked or had too much oil on them. After finding nothing out of the ordinary, I rebuilt the mag and attempted to fill it, again, the same thing happened. This may be an easy fix, but I figured I would ask, as I honestly have no idea what could be causing this.
Thanks!

Never had a TM Pxxx but check out parts stores and get a new lip, or take it apart again and actually lube up the o rings inside.
