Proudly bought at AirGunSource.com.

Bad news... have to return my P226 X-Five because of a major co2 leak... cartridge run empty after only one mag...

Waiting for return instructions from Travis... hope it's not a wide case of faulty model because I really like my Sauer... but I also made my mind to the possibility that a replacement gun is out of the equation... Let's wait & see what AGS think about all this...

I guess the "drop down mag co2 compartment" is not 100% problem free, and some unfortunate situations may happen... too bad because I think that real drop-down mag that combined ammunition BB's & co2 cartridge is definitely the futur of airgun replicas.

See ya !

I hope you can get the situation sorted out with a minimum of hassle. I'm such a fan of these pistols, hopefully you'll be putting BBs downrange again soon.

Good luck!

Since my gun is only 2 weeks old, and still under warranty, I prefer to have a replacement, or at least get a new mag from Travis.

Thanks for the tip.

Hi !

I got in touch with someone @ AGS and it seems that the leaky mag is something that happen sometimes because of a faulty o-ring.

It is REALLY important to not overtighten the co2 cartridge otherwise it will crush the seal and cause the leak. Also, to ABSOLUTELY use pelgun oil to improve the seal.

The guys at AGS are very polite & patient and take the time to help found solution to any type of problems, and they are also very quick to answer to their emails.

See ya !
