WE 1911 mag gas adaptor?

Hey everyone,

I lost the little silver extender that you have to put on a green gas nozzle to fill the extra deep valve's on the WE 1911 mags. Unfortunately the gun is useless without it, and I have no idea where it went.

Does anyone have any idea if you can find a replacement? or do they only come with the guns?

If nothing else, use a propane adapter and propane tank.

well, i hadnt thought of that.

I didnt some searching in the FAQs and foudn the thread on greengas and propane. OK, cool, its the same gas. I read the articles and only real questions I have are:

1. Does normal crappy tire propane have the same oils in it needed to lubricate the seals in mags?. I read but didnt see that anywhere in the articles, sorry in advance if i missed it.

2. Where can these said propane adapters be aqquired from?

Thanks again!, and hope i didnt miss anything that could be found in the faqs, dont want to be a douche and not read >.>.

Regular propane does NOT have the oils in it, if you buy a propane adaptor from Airsoft Innovations. Order up online or talk to MadMax here, the kit comes with a bottle of oil that you'll need as well.

I think you need the nozzle anyway, I just got the Wilson WE pistol and can't get the AI nozzle lined up without.

Hey anyone else notice that the WE1911 mags (the grey ones, not the black ones) are extremely easy to damage/break?

The bottom lip totally starts bending and can break off from inserting the mag into the gun.

Just wondering if everyone knows that

Makes sense for WE pot metal.

well, i just bought the adapter. The hobby shop up the street from my work has them.

Next, get some propane and oil from crappy tire .

Thanks for the input guys, really appreciate it.

sooo easy it's true, I broke 2 of them off 2 WE 1911 compact mags so that they'd fit in my 1911 classic!

yikes!

well, hopefully this adaptor nozzle will reach my WE mag valves. I was able to compare it against a green gas can nozzle as the hobby shop i went to has green gas as well, and its a tad longer than greengas. So in theory this *should* work.

if not, then i begin searching for that bloody adapter, lol.

cheap ripoffs of Madmax's hard work. Support the man who took the time to painstakingly prove that green gas is propane, and who spent so much time and effort into developing an adaptor for it.
