My Grand_Power X-CALIBER came with a little hex key/mult-tool, and a user guide in a nice box, Plus an π muzzle tip, which easily came off with a wrench after I used a heat gun on the silver barrel.
Canadian Laws do not require orange muzzle tips on any "AirGun or airsoft gun" with a muzzle velocity above 366 fps(.20gram BB).
The Grand Power X-Caliber 6mm BB Co2 pistol is considerably more powerful than the Laws require, but this airsoft gun must have been imported to North America, and into Canada, thru the USA, where Laws require that bright π tip attached to the muzzle regardless of power level or muzzle velocity.
Canada considers all Airguns with a muzzle velocity below 500 fps & muzzle energy below 5.7 joules/4.2 foot-pounds, to be classified as "Uncontrolled Firearms" that don't require a gun license to purchase & own.
Buyers of sub-500fps airguns must be 18 year of age or older.
Airsoft guns, like my Tolmar/Grand Power X-CALIBER and my SocomGear Kel-Tec PMR-30 (muzzle velocity: 500 fps) are legally classified as "Sub-500 fps" Airguns, and not "airsoft" guns...it sucks when lawmakers make such a fun hobby/Pastime so darn complicated!
Now without that orange eye sore this Slovakian pistol looks exquisite π«π«π«π«π«π«π«that is one heck of a stylish silver plated, fluted barrelπ
Just like some other Tolmar air pistols, such as my ISSC M22, the magazine is an all metal, full size, drop free, "ammo + Co2" type of magazine that uses the trigger to move the Co2 tube into the breach to help seal the breach after loading the round.
It doesn't add much to the trigger pull at all!
I even find double action to be very smooth and light.
The open sights are some of the best that I have ever aimed with on the dozens of air pistols I have handled and own, over the past 30+years.
The front sight is fixed with a fiber optic insert, and the rear is adjustable for elevation & windage, just like the 9x19 cartridge version of this pistol.
I chronographed this Co2 pistol earlier today and 12 round magazine of .25 gram BB's averaged 445 fps.
.12 gram BB's hit up to 575 fps, and .20 gram are as high as 490 fps...
The best thing is that this co2 pistol can handle 1 gram/15.43 grain steel balls and I have recorded velocities as high as 325 fps!!
Even though my GP X-CALIBER is the Non-blowback (NBB) version of the pistol, it is really nice to have the functional slide.
If for nothing else, but to admire the silver plated fluted outer barrel!
There are many similarities between my Walther PPQ M2 T4E .43 caliber Riot-Ball Pistol and this Grand-Power X-Caliber.
The WARNING text markings on sidthe right side of the polymer frame are placed in the same spot, and even look to be identical.

This is a somewhat obscure Airsoft/AirGun replica Co2 pistol here in Canada, and so, just like my SiG Sauer P-250ASP , ISSC M22, Ekol ES66 & Kel-Tec PMR-30 plus the Anics Skif A3000 and IZH-BAIKAL mp-651k, and some others, this Grand_Power X-CALIBER is destined to have a place in my permanent collection π«π«π«π«π«π«π«π«

Hi all. I have just purchased 2 Grand Power guns. The Excalibur and a K 100. They are both great guns. Only problem, both magazines are leaky, so useless. Store sent me a whole new gun as a replacement and that one leaks also. Since a new clip is almost as much as I paid for the guns I would like to know if someone has ever fixed one of these magazines or any experience with leaky one. TY !!
ReplyDeleteIf you didn't already, then put a drop of Crosman "Pell-gun Oil" on the tip of a CO2 cartridge and install it in your magazine, then shoot to use use the CO2.
DeleteThat drop of Pell-gun Oil will lubricate all the seals and stop leaking.
Don't use gun oil or anything other than Crosmans Pell-gun Oil.
There is also a tool for taking that type of magazine's Valve assembly apart. It is a simple little multi-wrench that can be found on eBay and Amazon for $10-$20
Airsoft parts & supplies businesses will also sell these types of specialty tool.
Using the tool, you can easily check to see that the part of the magazine where the CO2 cartridge tip is pierced, is tight or loose, or just remove it to make sure the rubber O-ring inside is damaged, or not installed properly.
Much appreciated. I always use Pellgun oil for every co2 cartridge" I've dismantled the mag as much as I could by removing two Lock pins but most of the head seems to be seem-less or machine -pressed together. The o-ring looks glued on though. But I'll try and work on the valve assembly. Thank you very much !
DeleteSpinoza you saved my 3 guns ! I just finished disassembling my 3 mags. I used small needle-nose plyers.I made sure evrything was in place and oiled everything with Pellgun oil. Re-asembled and no leaks in all 3 mags. I shot 2 rounds out of each gun so far, no hiss. Silence is bliss. Thank's again Man :-)
ReplyDeleteDang. Mags started leaking again. I'll try vaseline....
