Can anyone advise me on the best bb weight and propellant to use with a WE G26. I got one on the way.

Also what do I need for maintenance,

Cheers all.

 
I run mostly all my gas blowback pistols on WE 3.0 Nurpol gas and 0.25g bb's.

There are ample amounts of videos on YouTube on how to properly maintain a GBB. Might be easier seeing somone do it rather than someone explaining it through text.

 
.25g's work best for me, same with propane.

For maintenance, a little bit of silicone oil on the firing mechanism should do just fine. Gbb pistols don't require massive amounts of maintenance.

 
I'm currently using 0.20s but best would be 0.25s. WE Nuprol is supposed to be good, but I can't really say which is best since I've only used one gas which is the WE Europe Premium Green Gas.

For maintenance we got some WE maintenance gas and Abbey silicone oil (in a dropper bottle) it should tell you where to put it in the manual but we put some on the gas valve of the mag (I think one) and one drop on the gas router (rectangular thing on the top of the mag)

Maintenance gas - says you should use it once every ten mags, just put a bit in with whatever little bit of normal gas is still left. Guy at the shop said after you use it though.

Does this come in a can the same as other gasses?

I'll check up on YouTube for some vids on maintenance. Where do you guys buy your stuff from our do you use one place for bb's another for gas etc?

 
Looks like I dunno how to quote with my phone... Monty mentioned propane... :)

 
Nice, are any in particular classed "cleaner" or better for the pistol ?

 
Just followed the link and you can get propane plus adapters for 23.99, me likey likey!

 
I use Patrol Base for my gas and BBs since I'm local, and they do have some of the best prices on gas and things. I'm not sure what postage costs are like though, but service should be good since they use Interlink Express IIRC.

 
Yeah I looked on patrolbase and may try nuprol 2.0 then propane to compare, their prices do seem pretty good.

So what about bb's...what's generally a good make to go for?

Yep, in the long run, propane will save you a bit more money compared to just using other gasses.

 
Yes, green gas us just propane with some lubricant. Every now and again apparently you should run a mag through, but not too much..

That's fair enough I was gonna use green gas as the main one but think I'll use propane then :)
