KJ P226 CO2 (KP-01) - Gas issues

[sherminator]

Hello airsoft community,

I have a brand new KJ works P226 CO2 (KP-01). All brand new.

It shoots gas inconsistently. Accuracy and hop-up all over the place. I have tested in 15 - 25 Celcius Temp. Seems to make no difference. I can feel the inconsistency in the slide recoil. I have used silicone oil on all the parts. Dry racked the slide hundreds of times, trying to break in the parts. I have a green gas mag and a C02 mag; both of which have the same issue. Sometimes the gas doesn't have enough pressure to cycle the next BB into the chamber. FPS is about 200 - 280 with green gas. 300 - 400 with C02.

I had the retailer rebuild the hop-up and I am waiting to see if it made a difference.

Any ideas as to what could be going on? Any ideas what I can do?

Thank you
Sherminator

I would try and return it first. It could be a damaged hammer knocker issue or a cracked/damaged air nozzle. It could be that the nozzle is not getting enough gas/power to operate the action.

Thanks for the reply Kungpow.

I put a ton of silicon oil in the mags and on the slide, dry fired a bunch of times and cleaned the thing. Now it is cycling well. The retailer also fixed the hop-up issues! Yay I got a gun that works now!
