Duster Gas

[monmon_4]

I'm getting a TM p226 overseas and it's my first gaspowered gun. My understanding is that if I use HFC22 gas it will shorten the life of my gun because TM's aren't made to handle it? I shoul dbe looking for 134a or duster gas right? I'm hearing a lot of people getting these gases from Costco or Futureshop, do they still sell them? And how would you go about putting the gas into your gun from one of those duster cans, it all seems really confusing to me right now. Can I really get gas for my airsoft gun at a place like Futureshop? Seems weird place to get gas.

Overseas? Good luck.
For the rest of your question, and the reason why importing is not a good idea, read the Information section as soon as possible.
The read about GBB guns.
It's all written for you already.

duster gas may be safer...but it sucks. Get a propane adaptor and use regular propane from canadian tire. Its a fraction of the price and has better performance...may shorten the life of your GBB, but if you ever plan on getting a metal slide anyways, it doesnt matter. BTW, green gas and propane are the same.

now for the bad news.
unless you are a retailer, you cannot order from outside of Canada. There is a very very high chance that customs will seize and destroy it and keep an eye on you. take a look in the FAQ section about importing and why it cant be done.

if its not already in the air, I would suggest to emergency contact the seller and cancel the shipment.

best of luck

oh okay. yup i just saw the FAQs afer i posted that, thanks. I guess i'll have trouble getting it in from overseas so I'll fin danothe way to get it. Where can I buy a metal slide and how do I know it will fit though?

You said you read the FAQ, and you cant find where to get parts?
Did you even look at how this website is built? Or the BUTTONS at the top of EACH page you look at?
How about the Canadian Retailers button?
