Marui 226 Questions

[Talonclaw117]

Out of curiousity, if I upgrade a Marui 226 with a Guarder frame and slide, is there anything else on the gun that needs upgrading? Cheers!

Upgraded hammer and recoil springs.

Upgraded hammer and recoil springs.

 

Yeah, just this.

 

Remember, if you put a metal slide on your 226, it's gas consumption will go up.

I had problems with my guarder mbk cycling with the 150% guarder springs. I had to cut them down so they only were a little stronger than the originals. I also found the original springs worked fine in it.

Yer I kept it a basic answer but I found the same.

 

The upgraded hammer spring is fine to drop straight in, but the recoil spring may need some coils taking off, or just use the original but I find it jsut a little too weak if it's anything other than perfect conditions.

Hello.

 

Depends on what you want improved...accuracy, gas consumption, power, etc. You can probably add your metal kit with everything else stock.

 

It's a lot of experimenting to try and optimize all three, but it can be done. Also, I found that a stock Marui P226 performs exceptionally well. The only part that one would really need to change is the valve knocker. The stock one isn't the best. I personally feel there's really no sense on upgrading a Marui P226 to a metal kit unless you just want the look (I wanted a non-rail frame, which I think is only available after an upgrade). Three guys that did a LOT of work on the Marui P226 are Sale, Romulus, and Amateurstuntman. Do a search for "Marui P226" with these three posters and you can't go wrong.

 

I hope that helps. Good luck!

I have the navy slide and frame, only thing i have done is add a tight barrel and recoil spring, i dont like the hammer springs pull.
