BaBaBooey Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Are the triggers and magazines compatible between the E2 and Regular Marui P226's? Yes - you can use a P226R trigger and magazine in a P226E2 and vice versa. The SRT in the Marui P226E2 is actually a dummy and there for looks only. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matthias Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 What part of the trigger is "dummy"? It is still SA/DA. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BaBaBooey Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 What part of the trigger is "dummy"? It is still SA/DA. The Marui E2 comes with the thinner trigger that Sig Sauer uses for their short reset, but it really doesn't as internally there is nothing different between the Marui P226R and E2. You can easily swap the two triggers with no loss of basic function. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bucko Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 So really you're just paying for the grips, magazine, and E2 logo with the E2? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryaw Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/forums/uploads/gallery/album_2092/gallery_71007_2092_12056.jpg Here's the link to my TM 226 E2, fitted with 6.01 PDI TBB and Streamlight TLR-1S. Damn I love that combination! P.S. Not sure why I can't post images here. I click on the 'Image' button, my screen turns blue, but the image box never appears, so I need to reload the page. Do I need a certain number of posts to be able to post an image? I've tried searching the forum for post-count rules, but can't find anything? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mimesis Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 This problem on the site was reported a while ago. Click on the BBCode Mode button, very top left corner (above B for bold), and insert image with usual code. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BaBaBooey Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 So really you're just paying for the grips, magazine, and E2 logo with the E2? Not sure what you mean - you can buy the E2 for exactly the same price as the R. Marui didn't make it any more expensive. The rear chassis assembly is different. On my P226R, I damaged the valve knocker rather quickly and had to replace it with a steel one. So far, the E2 doesn't need this upgrade as the stock knocker is working fine.They also changed the way the de-cocking base attaches to the frame - it's now bolted on, but it doesn't really change the performance of the gun. Also, I have yet to split open an E2 magazine. I've completely damaged beyond repair at least 3 P226R magazine when the threads in the magazine base got stripped. Besides that, the original P226R is pretty well designed in my opinion, so understandably Marui didn't really need to change the internals all that much. My stock P226R is nearly over 4 years old now and the only internal part that I had to replace was the valve knocker and hop rubber. It still choron's nearly exactly the same as it was when new. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wingman Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 I believe TM didnt even change the serial number on the frame for the E2 version, so I gues other than the few visably apparent parts (trigger, grips the slide E2 logo) as well as the shorter hammer strut, there really is no difference between the E2 and the old TM P226R? I do like the new magazines though and bought a couple for my many years old, stock, TM P226R. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 End of the day it's supposed to just be an update on the R design, not a completely different gun. The actual plastic of the frame & slide on the E2 is a lot nicer and the general fit, finish and overall appearance is far, far better when I compare my two pistols.

abbadon101 Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 The finish is the same as on the newer 226R's, colour is slightly different. I bought a new 226R after the E2 was released and the finish is now a matt flat black rather than the shiny black they used to be. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bucko Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 So the shorter hammer strut - are you referring to the bit that has the hammer spring wrapped around it and inserts into the mainspring seat? I run a RS mainspring seat and enhanced hammer spring on my KJW, so I'm familiar with the back end there. Thanks for the info thus far guys. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Terry Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 (edited) Got this P226 in a trade yesterday. Can anyone help identify the brand? I don't see any trades anywhere, so i'm lost. Any signs to look for? It needs a good cleaning. Edited March 3, 2013 by Terry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hwagan Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Going on the tan and the trades, it looks like a WE/Socomgear. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Terry Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Wanted to pick up a few mags for it soon and I just looked at the mag and its from KJW, so I assume its a KJW P226, but I could be wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hopna Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 (edited) I think it looks a lot like a KJW P226. Check the bottom of the magazine. Maybe it says something about the brand there. edit: Ninja'd Edited March 3, 2013 by Hopna Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hwagan Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Ahhh, I wasn't aware KJW did P226's in Tan! Mags-wise, anything TM compatible (KJ/WE/HK3P/TM) should be fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Terry Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Awesome, thanks for the help guys. Yeah I didn't know they made them in tan either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PureSilver Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 There are a few ways to to tell if the gun's a KJW. The simplest is to examine the right-hand side of the hammer - there may be a number 2 inset in a circle stamped on the side of it. A more definitive way is to field strip the gun and look into the BBU. Medium blue internal parts are typically KJW. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 (edited) I doubt it's a KJW actually. [i was wrong] I have never seen a tan KJW 226, nor a KJW 226 with threaded front barrel. [Well, now I have...] My bet is it's a WE with some sort of markings. [Nope, wrong!] Looks kind of like this; (note to self: well duh. it's a tan 226...) [Good thinking there, Sherlock... lul] http://www.airsoftglobal.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=51_297&products_id=15873 [Nope!] Can the threading at the front be removed, ie. an adapter ? [Disregard...] What was it traded for? So we can get an idea of the money involved. [still interesting] The only other tan 226 I've seen are TM + Guarder custom built kits. [until now...] EDIT: Well actually never posted. But as I was typing the above I figured the guy is in the US and they have some different models going on. Went to Evike and searched for tan 226, got this; http://www.evike.com/product_info.php?products_id=33093 Case closed You can even see the residue from the black sticker in the picture above.

Terry Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) Haha, yep. Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. I appreciate the detective work though. It does have some blue internals as well as the 2 on the hammer. I traded it for a KJW m1911. Yeah I noticed the residue once I uploaded the picture. Like I said, it needs a thorough cleaning, inside and out. I think I might file down the corners on the back above the grip. Edited March 4, 2013 by Terry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Horsem4n Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) lol, i missed this. i could have solved this one hours ago. KJW makes plenty of colors of P226. tan, OD, tri color desert, i have sold all kinds. the most recent batches of the colored ones come with threaded barrels. the colored ones are only available through cybergun. hence the trademarks. oh btw, the KJW used to be notorious for having a thin frame, so other brand mags dont fit. could have changed though, but be careful and try other brands of mags first before you lay the cheese down for them.
