How long can the CO2 cartridge stay in the gun? The manual says don't store it with a cartridge loaded in it for an "extended period of time".

Not for long ,maybe one week or so I try to use the co2 the same day it makes sense the seal will flatten with time.

As long as the pistol is kept in a cool, dry place you can keepthe cartridge in for a few weeks

I have left a half full cartridge in mine up to five days or so. I really think they are talking about leaving a cartridge in the gun like two or three months. The oil droplet would get old and collect dust and the seal would be compressed for that long. It all adds up to a nice tight seal for greater shot powder. They are too much fun to leave that long anyway with out use.

in my case I have been charged for periods of over two months and it works without any problem

I left the cartridge in mine for 3 or 4 months and when I tried to insert a new cartridge it would not seal.Wasted four cartridges trying to get it to seal but the seal was too deformed. Called the rep in Arkansas to get a replacement seal and was told that they do not stock them. Sent an email to the factory in Germany and two days later received an email from the rep in Arkansas telling me to send the gun to them. After a week or so I received a new one at no cost except for the postage to send them mine. It was out of warranty but they did not worry about that,

Put some light gun oil on the co2 cartridge seal before installing this will provide a better seal. Look at the extra products offered on Amazon for bb and pellet gun. Use only one drop on the seal!

Yes. They recommend using the oil anyways however they also say to discharge ammo and the co2 before storing the gun.

I used 4 magazines (4x15 BBs) per CO2 (Daisy)cartridge. The last with decent power. One more clip can be shot but with deminished power thou. I understand that different CO2 brands really produce different results.

Are you putting a drop of gun oil on the co2 cartridge as suggested in the owners manual? 2nd does this usually happen right after you putas new ccartridge in? Mine does for some reason. I shoot emptying twice after putting in a new cartridge. That seems to help. It sounds stupid but make sure the pellets aren't in backwards.

Hi Ryan,It's a very nice metal mag. Similar to a 1911 mag chambered for 22 cal. The bb's go down the front in a vertical slot and the CO2 cartridge goes in a slot in the middle of the mag with the tip up. There is a recessed Allen screw on the bottom of the mag with a cup that cradles the bottom of the CO2 cylinder. After inserting a fresh cartridge you tighten the Allen screw and it forces the cartridge up which punctures the cylinder and your ready to go. I purchased a second mag so that I could quick change mags just like a real 1911.Take CarePete

well i know the answer... What happened is: 1. when you screw the cartridge the gas is slowly released until you tighten all the way( I highly don't think this is the case). ***2: The C02 seal of the gun is broken. This happened to me on my Winchester M14 by Daisy (excellent). There are little rings in the gun that hold the co2 in and when they're worn out, you put C02 in and it all just leaks out. i tried 10 cartdriges. its sucks but what i did was i contacted the maker ( for you, corpsman customer service and say that you need replacement sealent rings. Just ask for new ones, replace them, and then all the C02 stays in! well i know the answer...

It seems that after one session of 50 or 60 shots you need to change the CO2 cartridges. They seem to leak if keep them in the gun overnight! Great gun very accurate and it's very quiet.

Cleaning the gun can help remove any discharge that accumulates. I clean it after a couple days just to keep it in good working order. If it continues you might want to take it in for service; sometimes it could be something else only a qualified service location can address.

Louder than others would lead you to believe, especially if it's quiet at night. I shoot one in a building behind my house and my wife can hear me shooting when she's inside the house. So it does make a bit of noise. As for CO2 - no, you can't remove and reuse the cartridges. Also, removing a charged cartridge will lead to excessive CO2 discharge that may fry the seals. Leave the CO2 in a few days until discharged, it won't hurt.

I am no an expert, but for my experince with my guns I put one drop of pellgunoileach time I install a new cartridge, I leave mor or less 6 weeks my crosman c41with cartridge installed and no problem has enough gas for more shots

About 250-300 strong shots. Once you screw it on & start shooting you have to use the whole tank. It will not store the CO2 once it's been opened. Hope this helps!

With a fresh Co2 cartridge, on a scale of 1-10 (10=top). The Winchester 11 is about a 6.5 to 7. On my particular gun, the cartridge dies out pretty quickly(20-30 shots). Also at about 20 feet fairly precise targeting.

I have had know problems with the co2. Like all co2 guns when you first put it in there is that brief second of co2 leak but the faster you are at putting it in the better.

You take the back of the handle off and unscrew the device that compresses the co2 cartridge. That should work.

My experience is over 200 in 2+months...but, as would be the case with any Co2 cartridge, when you are near the end, there is less power popping the pellet...less speed, distance and accuracy.

Hello. Question: are you using a drop of pellet gun oil on the puncture end of the CO2 canister? If not, I would recommend doing this. Even using the oil, I empty the CO2 and remove the canister before storing the pistol. Good luck and hope this helps.
