I love it with the silencer and the anchor logo.

I'm getting there! I just finished season 2. I've been on the couch for the past week working and watching 24. 2 season's down, 2 to go. I dream of Kim Bauer now.

Season 3's on it's way and if ANYBODY posts any spoilers, I'm coming over to your house to murder you with my 226.

But I wanna know if I should let it do it by a pro. Very waesome gun you got there!

There's actually a LOT of modifications required to get this sucker to fit. 22 hours of filing (while watching 24) to the slide, the lower frame, and various stock internal parts and I was finally able to get it running smooth like Kim Bauer's ass. And yes, one of the pin's holes should be widened. I skipped that part and just hammered the pin straight in. It went in okay, but I don't think it's EVER coming out again. Ever.

the top pic is taken somewhat close to a pic of my 9mm 226.


the trade isn't as clear as airsoft, sucks! :-)

Is that real steel?

[Cortexburn]

I'm curious as to how that 6.01 tightbore performs, any plans for some long terms tests?

[ILLusion]

I haven't done any long range tests with it yet, so I can't say. I may get around to it this week.

Long term tests... i'm definitely not selling this baby for a while... so yeah.

[Yuu]

That's real steel 9mm P226. Jun you and your love with non-rail P226 ;-)

I was fiddling around with various inner barrel combinations and just figured out that Marui Hi-Capa and P226 inner barrels are interchangeable.

My PDI 6.01mm inner barrel has been taken out of the P226 and put into my Springfield Hi-Capa since that inner barrel fits perfectly with the Strike kit.

For now, I've put a Hi-Capa inner barrel into my P226 (the Nine Ball one to be specific) and it's an excellent fit. The stock length of the inner barrel ends just 8mm behind the end of the threaded muzzle.

I'm considering putting in the Nine Ball 7 inch inner barrel in the P226, assuming my suppressor can cover it up. Or I might use the Tanio Koba 6" Twist barrel. I'll have to see....

mwuahahahahaaaaaa

+1 for hi-capa replacement parts

[ILLusion]

Yeah, I've noticed that piston heads are also interchangeable and I wouldn't be surprised if the rocket valves and power valves could also be swapped.

[Freedom Fighter]

Brian that gun is so nice I'll give you fiddy bucks for her.

[Blastyman]

Hmm I have some similar upgrades but no wheres near the same results.
Firefly recoil spring guide w/bearing
gaurder enhanced nozzle
gaurder 150% recoil and hammer springs
action metal slide
KM power valve

I don't have the piston head and tightbore barrel.

I am chronoing 300 with .2 didn't try .25 yet.

do you think the tightbore extended barrel and piston head would make up the difference?

Or do you think the firefly valve instead of the KM one would be much superior?

Or maybe all 3. :-)

[Jugglez]

I've found the KM valves to be useless.. I recently had one of my P226's chronied and the KM valve averaged the same FPS numbers as the stock valve...

Get the firefly or a nineball/first factory valve:tup:

The tightbore will definitely help. Tighter seals equal less power loss and greater expansion behind the projectile. Especially if it's longer too.
Also, the BBs that you use can make a difference. Similar to having a tightbore, the larger the BB's diameter, the greater the seal and thus, the better power usage you get. I use KSC Perfects which are pretty much the largest size you can go without having feeding issues. I find Airsoft Elite and Guarder BBs have feeding issues in some (most) of my Marui GBB mags (P226 and Hi-capas.)

I'm not sure how much more power the piston head will give you as I never did a side-by-side comparison, but I can't imagine it giving more than a 5fps increase. You would need it more as power levels increase though, if for example, you were using something disgusting like red or black gas.

I noticed something similar with the KM valve as Jugglez mentioned. I did notice a power increase, although it was hugely significant. The firefly one, the first couple of shots were pretty high, but it dropped down to the same level as the Marui valve after several shots. Perhaps if the mag is allowed to warm back up afterwards, then it will stabilize.

As a note, all of my Chrony results on my gun were made with the stock valve.

No, I never have trouble with those - but then again, they are relatively small and they have some serious issues with spherical concentricity. I personally don't like them at all.

[Xenos-Fear]

SHIT ! I want that one ! You made a real bad ass GBB Illusion ! You OWNED Jack Bauer with that !
