Weird P226 gas problem..

[RastaBlasta]

Hi there,

Problem with my TM 226 now...

Basically, the gun is really down on power when shooting and the gun does not appear to cycle as effectively as it should...

Also, the gas will only shoot 6 or 7 shots before emptying itself out the end of the barrel..

Any ideas...?

Re: Weird P226 gas problem..

what gas are you using

if the gun is not lubed or cleaned regularly it will cock up

Re: Weird P226 gas problem..

Cyber Gun 134a gas, As for lubing/cleaning, thats not done regularly.

What do you suggest for that?

Have you always used the 134a?

Re: Weird P226 gas problem..

use abby ultra or green, I've only ever used 134a in my old walther ppk/s

Also let your mag warm up if its vented.

I've had this sort of problem with a few pistols, but it is generally because the mags are cold. Although I assume you have already tried warming them up!!!

I would suggest stripping it down and lubing it so that it cycles more efficiently.

Apart from that, not sure I'm afraid!

Oh, and go with Ultra gas instead!

Get some 100% silicone spray oil, you can clean it with that just spray it on and use a lint free cloth to wipe everything down. Then get some 'abbey' silicone gun grease its made for air rifles buts great for airsoft as well.

Neither the grease or oil will ruin your rubber parts and spray some silicone into the mag (top and the 2 valves)

Theres plenty of vids on youtube doesn't matter what pistol all have pretty much same design.

I don't think it's anything to do with cold mags. It's 23 deg here, inside my house... in June.

No disrespect and i know the above was posted before we knew it had always been used on 134a, but a jump to another gas to try and fix isnt the answer.
As has been said a good strip clean and regrease could do the trick.

Check the loading nozzle is seating correctly on the gas router, take the slide off and manually move the nozzle out and see how well it springs back, it should spring all the way back smoothly and quite rapidly, if not the spring on the top is worn or missing. Check the O seal on the piston/lid is intact. Check the magazine gas routers are undamaged. Finally check the valves are free to move and arent sticking.
