sonofsammo Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I have two problems at the mo, with two different pistols: 1. TM MK23 - sodding thing keeps jamming and at the most inopportune moments too. I have no idea why, or where to start looking 2. CS SP01 - Keeps dumping its gas when firing (whole lot comes out of the slide) / not cycling properly / inconsistent shots. I changed the outer barrel on it today, but can't see how that would have cocked everything up. I realise that the venting issue might be because I'm using ASG ultrair? But beyond that, I have no clue.... Please help - I need to shoot people!!! 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Prisce Posted August 15, 2018 Supporters Share Posted August 15, 2018 Mk23-what mags are you using? What BBs? And is it every shot or every couple of shots? Without knowing this info I would probably say your using ASG mags, and the Feed lips aren’t the same as the TM... a few unfortunate people have had issues with feeding because of this, I’m not one of them, but Jack is! What you can try is load a mag, when one doesn’t feed, tap the bottom of the mag in the gun and try again. This may be the follower in the mag.. The other pistol, sounds like a @rocketdogbert consult to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other pistol, sounds like a @rocketdogbert consult to me. I'm using TM mags. I was using Rzr tracers, .25g. Played fine the first half of the night, then multiple shots - generally three before I'd stop (cos they don't always come out of the tracer lit)... And you're right about RDB - he's suggested it might be a gas issue, which I'm hoping to check out this morning. I'm going to try the bugger on red and see what's what 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostly Retired Moderators L3wisD Posted August 15, 2018 Mostly Retired Moderators Share Posted August 15, 2018 It might be worth asking @rocketdogbert if he'd mind having a look at them for you. Offer him some money to spend on Vector parts and he'll be like putty in your hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonofsammo Posted August 15, 2018 Author Share Posted August 15, 2018 Looks like @rocketdogbert was right. Worked well on red gas with all mags. Although, I'm a touch wary of running them on red!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wo1f Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 I was just typing ‘throw the bb’s away’ when I read the other comments lol. The only other time I’ve seen the mk23 jam is when people half pull the trigger so it loads a BB, release, then pull again to fire. I wouldnt worry about red gas. I run all my pistols on propane which is just as strong or maybe stronger. Even a plastic slide Tm g18c that I bought off Rocket. Had a few thousand BB’s through it and still going strong.

sonofsammo Posted August 15, 2018 Author Share Posted August 15, 2018 And, as it turns out, Geoff's do .25 green tracers! Wooooohoooooooo! I think I'll have to keep the MK23 on green gas, cos it's @345 fps on .2s ..... But for the others, red it is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so get some Geoff’s .32 tracers and double your range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
