Uhhh....you were just saying that it has problems.
Buh?

And if you already installed those parts, it's not "out of the box".

His problem was just a sticky loading nozzel, simple fix is to lube the top with either silicon oil on a cue tip, or lithium grease. Later down the road its good to upgrade that peice with an enhanced version.

I dont think you understand the problem, the gun still functions perfectly, but this issue will result in a broken feeding nozzle if i just keep using it. Once i replace the parts i wont have to worry about it breaking. its a durability issue not a working issue. And i havent installed the parts and its firing hard-out of the box.

Exactly what amazing said. Once you replace those parts you will be worry free for a long, long, long time.

so since theres KJW P226 users here is there anything else i should do? Im gonna replace the outer barrel with a threaded one, and change the lips on the mag to metal. I know that KJW has mag leak issues, but ive heard this one is an easy fix? any ideas? i heard that the mags come unlubed ( i have no idea to lube mags-1 or 2 drops every 8 fills WTF?) and the leak can be remedied by adjusting the hex on the bottom of the mag.

stokes · March 13th, 2007, 22:35

Yes the mags will start to leak in the seam lines between the two halves, just tighten that up and all will be good. The rubber peice (the area that you fill gas in) needs to be soaked long and hard. I left mine in AI silicone oil for at least 3 days straight, this has resulted in a complete seal. I had crazy leaks in that part for a long time. Now it has been remedied because of the soaking with silicone oil.

I also installed a new rubber piston head. Much more durable than the stock.

I have light silicone from asc armory? will that work?

stokes · March 13th, 2007, 22:53

If it has a low viscosity than yes it will work. AI oil is very runny. This results in the oil fully covering every area of the part you are soaking.

Amazing KG3 · March 13th, 2007, 23:12

so just fill the gas port up with the oil, stand it up right and let it sit for 3 days?

stokes · March 13th, 2007, 23:14

Exactly...

Amazing KG3 · March 13th, 2007, 23:19

damn i love this gun.

stokes · March 13th, 2007, 23:20

I cant wait to get my Silver inner barrel in... This will totally complete it.

Amazing KG3 · March 13th, 2007, 23:32

let me know when you get them in, i might pick up one from the store.

stokes · March 13th, 2007, 23:34

For sure man. By the way did you get the trademark version of the gun?

Amazing KG3 · March 13th, 2007, 23:50

yup, says SIG SAUER P226 on the left side of the slide, P226 on the left of the grip, and SIG SAUER on the right. right side of frame says SIGARMS INC. EXTER NH- also has a serial. Case is also trade marked. Only thing that is weird is theres no saftey. Love the double action hammer, decocking lever, and trigger pull. the thing sounds great too. but as anyone says who owns it. it feels real.
