G&P 40mm shells

[Handsome Pete]

Bought 4 of these very cheap because they were not filling with gas. Ive stripped 1 down and found the ball bearing intact etc but the whole shell comepletely grease free. So Ive stuck silicon grease on the ball bearings and o rings etc.

 

Still not filling.

 

I'm gonna take the o rings off and drop them in some brake fluid (as suggested in the brilliant KA shell fix thread) http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/forums/inde...390&hl=40mm

 

to get them to expand a bit. Is there anything else I could do? People with experience with these particular shells especially?

 

thanks.

Even though they are supposed to be self setting I found that on a couple of mine I need to push the firing pin all the way in to reset it.

If the pin returns all the way back and is flush/level with the base of the shell it should be good to go.

One of mine only had one ball bearing in it but was still working ok!

If it resets with the pin not flush try twisting the body a couple of turns.

 

Plenty of silicon grease is very much advised for these nades.
