CO2 Immediately Discharges All Gas and Causes Slide to Blowback

[tedvieira]

Hey, I just bought a Springfield Armory 1911. Very cool airgun. It's only about a month old, but just recently when I load a new CO2 cartridge, as I tighten the screw that tightens the CO2 so that the seal is punctured, all of the CO2 gas escapes and causes the slide to blowback and the CO2 cartridge is empty. Any thoughts?

Have you been adding the recommended one drop Pellgun oil every time you installed a fresh Co2? Have you tried tightening the new Co2 then backing it out 1/4 turn? If those don't help any then time to send it in to exchange it under warranty.

Yeah, been adding Pellgun oil with each cartridge. I think it's probably something for the warranty to take care of. Just thought I'd check with other users first. Thank you, man.
