I just got the gun in today from RWA, a lot sooner than expected, and loaded the shells, and tried to fill the gun with DUSTER GAS from Home Depot, using an adapter from AI. The gun just won't accept the gas. I am too afraid to take it apart, AND I think the gun is too new to have a take down and maintenance since the Internet search has brought up none. This is part of Marushin's x-cartrage series.   (Can't get a good picture of the fill valve)  (Duster Gas that I am using)  |

I think your problem is that you aren't actually using duster gas. A quick Google search brought up this product description sheet. While the contact cleaner is propelled by HFC 152a (a more environmentally friendly HFC 134a substitute), it has a petroleum distillate and alcohol base. I would keep petroleum distillates as far from your seals as possible. They will build up on the rubber and slowly eat it away. What you should buy is actual duster gas. For example this is actual HFC 152a duster gas. I used those exact cans when I had my TM Desert Eagle. Enjoy the bitterent used in duster, it tastes like shit when you breath it in. What I would do first is try a little squirt of propane. Seriously, a small amount to test fire one shot. This would help rule out a bad fill valve or something else wrong with the pistol. If it runs on propane then chances are it's the contact cleaner. I could be wrong (I'm not a chemical engineer) but I don't think electrical contact cleaner is the same as duster. EDIT: Also be sure to install the AI adapter using needle nose pliers to hold the cans valve up. If the adapter isn't on far enough the gas will shoot past it and not into the pistol. I had that problem with my TM Desert Eagle as well. |

Ok, after testing with the Propane, it shot a decent amount!
As it turns out, it was the duster gas. I just got back from Office Max and after fitting the gas with the adapter, the gun shot excellent!

I never knew there was an air duster adapter!

I never knew there was an air duster adapter! It came with the AI Propane adapter I got from East Side. Pretty awesome! |
