co2 cartridge problem

[MattR123]

Have you tried a drop of Pellgun oil on the seals or on a cartridge before insertion?
Eric.

Ill try that an report back, thanks

I put new cartridges in the PPK and twinmaster. The twinmaster now works perfectly, but the ppk did it again, despite me putting some gun oil in. Its most bizarre . I've now run out of cartridges so will have to buy some more to see if it was just those being a dodgey batch.

Do you mean pellgun oil or a generic gun oil.

Pellgun oil is ideal for co2 guns and works wonders for the seals (unless there is damage to them in which case you may have to look at replacing them)

Just normal oil, I'll go and buy some pellgun to see if that works.

thanks

I had a similar problem with my Walther Nighthawk. Even trying different brands of caplets including the lubed Walther ones didn't help - I thought the seal had gone.

A Very Nice Chap at Bury Gun Room told me that the brass screw seal on the drop-out CO2 mags have a tendency to work loose, and to try tightening the screw before fitting new seals, and it worked a treat!

If you can get to it on the PPK, give it a go first.

And buy lots of pellguin oil. A very nice chap on here sells it.

Have to agree...do not own a Co2 weapon without owning Pellgun oil...
