Ive seen this before. My old GBB had the same problem. It turned out it was the propane. try using green gas first. then purchase an Oring, as far as replacing one on that model, i dont know sorry

Are you using a full bottle (new) of propane? When tanks get lower, the gas doesn't expand as much, causing fewer shots. That's my first guess.

I'd second this notion.
Also, I know its silly to ask somebody who's been at this for a while, but your holding the bottle of gas upside down when charging the mag, right?
When a gas can gets low it stops shooting liquid propane into the mag, and you get fewer shots.
