I believe the KWA fill valves just screw out of the mag. At least they do for my M9.

if you look at the fill falve there is a horizontal notch going across the diameter. use a small flat head screw driver.

are you for sure where it is leaking from?
when i have leaky mags i fill them and then submerse them in a tub of water just to confirm where the leak is coming from.
if all else fails you can get replacement orings and valves from the kwa proshop.

This is my 3rd airsoft rifle. My first was a earlier generation KWA M4A1, second was a PTW M4A1 MAX, and now this wonder KWA LM4 PTR. I also own a KWA 1911 PTP. That being said, this is my first jump into the world of GBBRs. The only GBB experience I have is from my PTP which I only toy with every now and then. Now, on to the good stuff.

Pretty basic if you guys have ever owned a KWA product. Comes with one mag, a barrel plug, jamming rod, manual + warranty info, and a tube style speed loader.
