We G17 gas nozzle

[Kevster755]

Hi all,

 

I bought a WE 17 Gen 5 in December, came to buy a couple of extra mags and ran into an issue where my pistol needs a square nozzle mag and the “compatible” one I bought has a rectangular nozzle and therefore doesn’t seal/perform. Tried to resolve the issue with retailer but can’t seem to find a mag that has the right nozzle. Any help would be appreciated.

 

*picture shows the magnitude got with pistol on right and new one on left

Is your WE optic ready? As they have a different gas nozzle to standard

Thanks for the fast reply! Yes it is optic ready, is it different because of the added weight to the top slide then? Any idea what I need to search for magazine wise?

No, WE have changed the design to make room for the flattened nozzle.

 

You need to search for the latest WE design, No idea what they call it though

You need the “WE MOS Magazine “ 

 

as an example

As an aside, is this the only thing stopping you using normal glock mags in a galaxy g-series? 

Got an extended glock mag sitting there doing nothing and could be running it in the galaxy if i can get hold of those seals.

Might give it a try anyway, it might still feed and it's worth a crack for £3.50. I'll report back whether it was successful or not.

you can see the tops of the magswhere the router exits is different , a little file might help . As you say though could be worth a try for a few quid
