Hello,

I just finished fixing the leaky mag and now when I shoot, the range is terrible. Its like 30 meters I would say. I bought the gun few months ago pretty cheap (50€) used and the mag was leaking because the hard pressure gas I used. Now the leaks are fixed but the range is a problem. Any advice?

ps. Personally I have almost no experience with gas guns, so anything noob-related info is appreciated. :bow:

30 meters? That is about right. You will not get much better than this.

30 meters is actually pretty low for that pistol. They're known for being "mini sniper rifles." Maybe throw in an VSR-10 G-Spec barrel and bucking and use some heavy ammo. That will boost up the power, range, and accuracy quite a bit.

A TM MK23 should get like 45M Maybe More.

Have you adjusted the hop?

Have you cleaned the barrel (remember to turn off the hop).

Have you tried heavier or lighter (if not already 0.2) bb's?

Have you tried without the silencer?

Okay so I cleaned the barrel and washed the bucking. Now its shoots a little better and straighter, maybe about 40meters? I think it could shoot ever better still, but im happy now Enough range for a backup.

I bought a brand new TM MK23 and they're great! Mine shoots .30g BB's around 45-50m straight as a laser. I've installed a PDI 6.01mm tight bore barrel.

I tried the Nineball and Reaps A+ VSR hop rubbers, but they performed poorer than the standard TM rubber and only added 5 FPS.

I'd recommend the PDI TBB and maybe a new TM hop rubber. Also, have a look at the small metal hop arm (bit that pushes down on the hop rubber) as it may be slightly bent. Gentle pressure may help.

I run mine on Abbey Predator Ultra, which provides the same FPS as Green Gas.

I get 325 FPS with the standard hop rubber and PDI TBB, basically an extra 10 FPS.

I use a Strike Systems belt holster for the gun and have 5 spare mags for running it as a primary.

Glad to hear it.

Replacing the hop rubber might bring it up even more. But now you got it working I'd leave well alone.
