To use a TM g17 on propane...

Spike · January 6th, 2011, 17:01

...what would you guys suggest changing? I've heard that the stock ABS TM slide doesn't fair too well on propane, and I'd rather not switch to duster gas.

It's the newest TM g17 http://shop.ehobbyasia.com/pistols-g...ark-earth.html

Thanks!

(This is my first time getting a non metal pistol, so this is all new to me)

New gen TM's run propane just fine.

Mine works with the plastic slide and the metal slide.

It will work fine on Propane, at least for a long time. But it is so much nicer with a nice metal slide.

Don't change anything. Run it stock.
The best way to screw up or start having problems with a stock TM pistol is to start changing out shit.

If there's one really cheap thing I would recommend is this: http://shop.ehobbyasia.com/sa-recoil...rui-glock.html

Doesn't improve performance but will take some stress off the body...
If you go the metal slide route, just the buffer and a stronger recoil spring/guide will do.

Alright, thanks guys, I'll just run it until something breaks (if it does).
