TM FNX45 Metal Slide -- Volante

Hi there.

Nice to see your pictures.

I use green gas in mine, more specifically Arms gas or RWA gas.

I have not encountered the slide locking back prematurely. Do you mean the slide stop is jumping up or the slide is jammed to the rear?

Slide stop jumping up is the case. Especially, while using 170 gas as power source, this problem occurred over and over. Not sure if gas pressure is the primary cause..

If the problem only occurs with higher pressure gas then it suggests that it may well an effect the recoil force caused by the stronger gas (directly or indirectly), especially as the problem has gone away using green gas.

That said, as with all these things; there could well be other variables that I am unaware of causing the issue.
