An update for everybody, completely disassembled the marker and cleaned every component with toothbrush, alcohol, soapy, water, and ultrasonic cleaner. Every single O-ring in the entire thing except for the tiny white ones completely disintegrated the moment I touched them upon disassembly. I sure hope that kit has every single O-ring that this thing needs! other than that it’s amazing how absolutely beautifully everything cleaned up, I still need to figure out how to strip this acrylic paint from the metal body though.
Picked up a 90s Minimag

Kit should have everything. The only o-ring that's a little odd is the 116 that seals the connection between the reg body and valve body. Most of the others will be 010 in polyurethane.
It's hard to tell with the naked eye, but the regulator seats do have a correct and incorrect orientation, as the faces are slightly different sizes. In the correct orientation, the reg seat will sort of click into place and won't fall off. -
Myrk,
That’s kind of you and I might take you up on that. I’ve tried to while it down and it’s not been coming off as easy as I’d like but I’ve been using alcohol. I might need something stronger for sure. Mr Bar, yes I figured that out about the seal. It kinda is like a cup seal on phantom but take me a second to see what you were talking about.

Ya, it's really just an extra safety feature. On the rare few occasions when my tank regs have failed they always blow a burst disk first, BUT I can totally see why that part is included in the design. If you run 3000 psi into an Ion or the most modern guns they'll self destruct. With a mag not so much, they are too well built and the velocities could easily get into very unsafe ranges. Just be sure you Chrono it regularly and you should be fine.
Seriously? One of the first things I did when I got my mag was basically just take everything apart including that. Pretty sure I flipped the seat as well.
Lol, just read the description on the piston. AGD really doesn't want people messing with those.
Apparently I have a "dead hunk of brass" in my mag right now
Still shoots great though!

tinkering with OG mags really makes one want to get an ultrasonic cleaner
(which is what AGD uses, I've been in the shop many a time...)
I'd try some citristrip for the acrylic. brush on, wrap in saran, wait a few days.

It lives! Replaced all the Orings and she aired right up and dry fired! Now it just leaks from the quick detach hose. Sure I can find an o ring at the hardware store. Anyone happen to know what size these things take? Almost there, and as a bonus, the revvy works too!You do not have permission to view this gallery.

Good job
welcome to the mag world, be carefull, next thing you know you will be buying more and more parts and end up with two complete mag...
Doc twist and lock to cocker adaptor is good in order to use barrel with inserts. Or you could go for an ULE body

The ass-e-tone did its work, she looks like a proper mag now. Just need a for grip that doesn’t look like a vibrator and maybe docs adapter. I’m a happy camper!You do not have permission to view this gallery.
