WA M4A1 blowback gas mag problem

[Duffmaster]

I just got my WA M4A1 CQBR shot it a couple times to make sure it worked. I filled the mag back up with BBs and put it away. The next day it wouldnt work after I filled it with gas. After examining everything I found that the piston on the mag that the hammer hits had no pressure behind it, I could push it in all the way.

So i began looking for extra mags and of course there impossible to find just my luck. If anyone had the same problem or has info on how to fix the mag let me know.

1. Never store your mags loaded. First, it's a safety issue, and second, it's hard on your spring and will eventually give you fees issues.

2. If the main valve has no pressure, that's because there's no gas in the mag. When you store the magazine, keep just enough gas in it to fire a couple of shots. Don't keep it empty or full.

1.it was not loaded, i put in and shot about 15 bbs on a squirt of gas to make sure it worked.
2.the first thing i did the next day when it wasnt working was fill it with gas until it spit back at me so its full and there's no evidence of leaks.
I also looked in the owners manual but of course its in japanese, they did point out a clip thats on top of the gas mag but i have no idea what it does and im afraid to mess with it now that its full.

Here's a blurb about the magazines.

it is facts that people like this have Western Arms ARs and I do not, and that people like M. Night Shamalalayanan (sp?) get to keep making millions off their shitty movies and that FRIENDS is over, and that in its stead we have such travesties as Americas Next Top Model and Two and a Half Men and that Star Jones and Rosie O'Donnel just exist that make me believe there is no god. But really the most former is what does it, that people like this have WA ARs. Thats why there is no god. Grr.

Oil up the valve, put a bit of gas. Never keep it empty.

Problem solved!! I had to hold down the 2 levers on the top of the mag when filling. Turns out this is a common problem. Another problem is the lack of extra magz and when i finally found some they cost about $105 a piece.
Thanks for the help Danke and Ronan.

I believe I was the only one that actually got it right...

LOL, I was just about to pipe in with my best
guess. So they are like WA pistol mags where
you have to hold down the valve locker so the
valve can pop back out.
