MK23 Questions

[DoctorDeath]

Hey I just got my MK23 its real cool but I have a few questions, probably because the whole manual is in Japanese, if any other owners can help me it would be appreciated. First, I have a propane adapter but I can't figure out when the mag is full. The first charge of propane lasted about three mags but the second only lasted one. How many mags should a full charge of propane last for, and how can you tell when it is full? Secondly, I know you have to take the slide off to access the hop-up but I can't figure out how to get the slide off. Anyway, any help would be appreciated.

if it's a TM mk23 heres the info

take slide off:
- pull slide back about an inch or so, you'll notice the lever (acts as a safety) has a tit on it, there is a notch in teh slide .. match the two up.
- push from the right hand side of the gun the leaver ... on one side you have the lever, the other side of the gun you see a round hole of hte pin that hold the leaver in .. push this pin and the whole leaver comes out
- push slide towards front of gun and the slide comes off.
- to get slide on .. you'll hae to match up the nothces of the slide with teh notches of the base of the gun ... pretty tricky the first few times you do this .. but you'll get it

now as to fill yoru mags ..
- from empty only fill for 3 seconds max .. shoudl be more then enough
- from half full or unknown ammount in mag ... just fill till the gas begins to squirt liquid out
- after you fill the mags make sure you let it warm up to room temp .. about 2 - 5 minutes before you start shooting the gun or the gas will get used up pretty quick.

hopefully the presure releif valve doens't go on you .. but if it does i've got a word document that shows how to fix it.
