ive just bought the tactical and found that the seals at the breech dont last more than 50 shots before they start fraying and gaps appear its also very smokey after every shot and extremly loud copered to my other guns despite the intergrated suppresor. i hope your having better luck with yours ;)
If you are using petroleum-based oil on them, this is bound to happen. Only use the oils the manufacturers recommend. Smoking is caused by the "sudden compression" which causes "dieseling or igniting" of the petroleum vapours. The "extra loud" bang is "detonation & explosion" which is the principal procedure of diesel engines. There are "no" spark plugs in diesel engines.
Mine has started to come loose and has a bit of play in it now. You can give it a temp fix by tightening the sling bolt but it comes looose after about 20shots....
Becuase its a mechanical fit so it needs heating back up and then threadlocking to get it too fit tight. Hope mine can be sorted.... good gun either way.
You can try wrapping the screw threads with plumber's teflon tape. If using "liquid paper" on the threads, make sure both mating surfaces are clean & dry and screw in immediately. Allow time to dry before using.
what pellets were you using in the 1st shot?!
