Apologies if this has been posted before. This is a replacement o-ring for the Urban 10 shot magazine. You get a package of 10 for about $6.
I just fixed one of mine that was broken and it works great. Will describe the repair if anyone needs help.

I've been having a problem loading pellets into my repaired magazine. I solved it by putting silicone grease on the o-ring and then wiping off as much of it as possible with a tissue.
Here are some things I learned about putting a magazine together. (it took a lot longer to type this than it did to do the repair)
1. The spring is symmetrical. Don't worry about which end goes where.
2. Get a flashlight to shine on the spring so you can see the ends better.
3. Get one hook of the spring engaged in the plastic magazine first.
4. Shine the light thru the hole in the metal housing.
5. Hold the spring and the plastic magazine together and thread the other end of the spring into the hole in the metal housing.
6. Push the magazine into place and rotate it counter clockwise until it hits a stop.
7. Lift the plastic magazine slightly to clear the stop and rotate one full turn until it hits the stop again.
8. CAREFULLY lift the plastic magazine until it clears the stop again and turn just enough to get it to the other side of the stop.
9. Hold everything together while you replace the cap plate and the screw.

That spring can be a tricky little guy. I've had mine apart a couple times to either reduce the spring tension (even drilled new holes on a magazine) or to clean some debris when things started hanging up.
It has been a while for me, but my technique was to get the spring into the hole on the case then carefully set the drum over it. That of course means you are almost doing a blind drop and sometimes it does take a few tries. (Use the force, Luke!)
The only other point I'll add is don't screw it together tight until you are sure a loop of the spring isn't pinched between the drum and case. I hold the cover onto the case with one hand and check the rotation with the other. You'll feel the drag if something isn't right when you squeeze the case and cover. Just gently shift the drum around and try again, being careful to not unhook your spring.
