LOL are you serious no one has an answer to this

Filling the mag..

Sounds to me like you are not filling the mag properly.. you have to fill it with liquid gas.. which means the tank must be inverted when filling.

Slide release.... no idea... could be how you are holding the weapon when firing

Kinda hard to diagnose a
GBB over the web. Update
your info so people can see
where you're located and
you may get a volunteer to
help you out.

PS: your sig is frickin' huge!

lol thanks anyway yea i still cant figure it out everything seems lined up right all the parts are brand new i took it apart put it back together same deal

[Mega_man_08]

by the way i'm using propane because the valve on the mags for these things are way up there not a fan of it. and my green gas canisters cant reach it so i'm using a propane adapter

[safx]

Well since your in TO and verified,
why don't you come out to TTAC3
this friday for the game, and the
locals can look at your gun after.

Are you using silicon oil w/ your propane to prevent the rubber bits from drying out?

[Crunchmeister]

First, ensure you're filling the mags properly by holding the mag valve up and the propane tank upside down. Secondly, ensure there's enough propane in the tank. Often there may seem to be enough, but there isn't enough pressure in the tank to fill the mag.

Once you can ensure you're doing both these things, get back to us and we can help troubleshoot the problem some more.

lol I Thanks you guys very much i just figured it out i wasn't putting the silicone oil on the tank
Cheers

propane is green gas lol :P - same damned gas with a higher price tag really - only real difference is propane isn't pre-lubricated I believe

I have one too.

i got a new magazine and everything but this is my dilemma i fill the mag with propane then fire it but all i ever get off is 2 or maybe three shot before the mag empties

Is there a lot of gas (big cloud) escaping when it happens, or is it just a weak hiss?

If its a big cloud, you're filling it right and the problem lays elsewhere.

If its just a weak hiss, you're running out of gas after 2-3 shots and it means you're filling it wrong.

as well when i shoot the slide release always gets caught can someone please provide me with answers.

Remove the slide catch and gently file down the little hump on the surface facing towards the rear of the gun (where the spring loaded pin makes contact). The mag catch should be able to move up and down freely. Don't overdo it, you want to maintain some tension or the mag catch will "bounce around" and lock your slide at random times.

Additionally you may want to remove the pin at the top of the mag, behind the feed lip (use a roll pin punch), and remove the feed lip, follower and spring: then very carefully/gently stretch out the spring a bit. Again, don't overdo it, just grab it by each extremity, pull outwards ~10cm in all, hold for a second, and then gently let the spring pull itself back into shape. Then reinstall it into the mag (it'll sit around 0.5-1 cm longer than it used to).
