Also just to confirm, WE M4 magazines are compatible with WE SCAR right? Airsoftbuddy has the M4 magazines on sale for 31.50 USD right now...I think I'll get one for my Scar.

So far as I can tell...the current gen are propane ready (aside from the SCAR buttplate that'll break...the internals are ready).
The upgrade kit you saw was out to convert the slim bottle type of M4 nozzle to the Scar type that has the ring around it. You needed a new chamber that fit that nozzle profile when you switched between nozzles.
The WE M4, SCAR, PDW and 416 all take the same mags.

Just take the shell off the mag...it'll be evident which screws are holding the back plate on. The "o-ring" is under that.
You can try to soak the rubber in a baggie of silicone oil overnight....that fixed one of mine.
I've used silicone grease (the same stuff you use for greasing an AEG cylinder) I coated the rubber and it sealed up nicely.
I've used 100% pure silicone window caulking....that worked.
I've got two mags that someone (looks like hitman's mess
) used blue gasket sealer...one worked and the other didn't. I redid that one with silicone grease and it worked.
Oddly....the ones with caulking/gasket sealer seem "weaker" than the others. Not sure why...it's not like it's filled with sealer or anything.
GBBR mags are just like GBB mags....they're just bigger.
