I am new to C02 airgun use, so my question is,can I use C02 cartrideges with or without threading?

This airgun doesn't have an option, it uses unthreaded cartridges. Put a little pellgun oil on the tip before you put it in.

Loosen the screw on the bottom of the butt and slip co2 cartridge in and the tighen screw until snug. Test fir e several times to see if o.k.. It might need several more turns. Unthreaded cartridges are preferred.

The CO2 cartridges for these types of pistols have no threading. They are 12 gram cartridges and you can get them for a good price right here at Amazon. Just do a search for C02 cartridges. Crosman C02 cartridges sell for a good price.

It's more about how much air the compressor will put out per minute. You will have to stop fairly frequently to let your setup catch up if you are painting something that is large. I have/had a set of these guns. You can't use them straight out of the box. Totally take them apart and clean all the junk out of them and take the plastic gasket, that divides the nozzle from the paint chamber, and some 800 grit sandpaper and on a flat surface, lap the gasket flat (can't remember if it's the front or back side but you'll be able to tell which one should be smooth). Mine leaked air, very badly, into the paint chamber. Every time I squeezed the trigger, you could see bubbles percolating through the paint. Lapping that hard plastic gasket stopped that. Don't expect to be able to spray a candy with these guns. The pattern(s) on mine is/are too inconsistent. I ended up buying a different gun to shoot my base/clear. Matt

As long as your air gun has the Threading to screw in your gun you should be fine. If it does invest in a coil line.

From what I've read, your can if you put a dime in the holder underneath the cartridge, to hold it in place! It's really designed to use threaded and non threaded cartridges, but if you use a 12g cartidge, I would definitely get the threaded ones just to prevent leakage!!

If you have a spring piston air gun, do not lubricate piston or spring with anything but airgun oil. It's non-flammable/non-combustible. Dieseling can occur with the wrong oil, possibly damaging the air rifle.

You can if you put a penny inside before the cartridge. What this does is make the smaller cartridge about the lenth of the original one and seals the "mouth" of the top of the cartridge so no gas escapes. I have not only done this but I do not "screw" down the top all the way until I need the air. This way it can't puncture the cartridge. Hope this helps.

Probably not, unless the 12g co2 were the same size as the 16g. In this inflater, the NONTHREADED cartridge is pushed into and held into the part that opens the cartridge and controls the release by the "handle." If the 12g is too small then the handle part won't push it in or hold it in correctly I don't think. If you put something in the bottom of the handle part then it might work. For THREADED co2 cartridges, the handle is unnecessary so if you're using 12g THREADED cartridges it will probably be fine. I've never tried it though, so I'm not certain.

Hi Rob: Should work just fine. I put a drop on the tip of the CO2 cart before installing in the gun. keeps the seals in good shape!

does take co2 tanks. We have never used a gun with co2 tanks before so it took us going through a couple tanks before we got it right. It seems as though when you tighten the tank down you gotta give it a fast twist to puncture the tank and seal it off at the same time otherwise you lose all your co2 and it makes a loud smelly hissing sound. But my boy loves the guns. Hope this helps

No, you do not have to use the Hornaday dies. I use various brands the thread size is standard on the dies they go into die bushings then the loader it is actually a little more convenient if you are loading more than one caliber.

CO2 cartridges must be purchased separately but they are relatively inexpensive. Also, the C11 is very gas efficient. You can easily fire 6 or more magazines on a single cartridge. Remember to also buy some silicon lubricant to create a good seal when loading your cartridges.

yes I later moved to my G-35 comp gun and used them. make sure to Loctite the front site threads. they can come loose.

The Colt 1911 C02 airsoft is a great gun. The first one I purchased from Amazon developed an air leak after a couple of shooting sessions. There appeared to be no easy way to fix the problem so I returned it for a replacement. The new one has had no further issues w/ C02 leaks. The C02 valve is fairly accessible but may require specialized tools/knowledge to replace. It may be easier & more cost effective to purchase a new magazine. Sorry that I can't be of more help. Good luck!

I don't see why not. I personally haven't run any air tools. Just my airbrush guns.....

I have the real gun not a co2 replica. I dont know if you are in the right area to ask this question.
