GBB Mag fill valve broke.

1 Attachment(s)

So I was trying to fix a leaky WE gen2 M4 mag and upon reinstalling the fill valve, the head of the valve itself broke off leaving the bottom half threaded in almost completely(see pics).... Has this happened to anyone before? I have a feeling I've just condemned the mag but if someone has done this before and knows how to fix it that'd be great!
Thanks in advance.

You may be able to take something small and flat like a jewlers screw driver and dig it into the brass a bit and tap it out, you'll likely want a vice to hold the mag in.

Same thing happened to me, take the mag competely apart and unscrew it from the inside

You could also jam some sort of bit in there with a screwdriver/drill and force it out. Or use a stripped screw remover.

Yep, small flat head screwdrivers have worked for me in the past
