Army Armament A-226 17 Custom Series 24rd Gas Magazine for R34 GBB
This is a 24-round gas magazine from Army Armament, listed as an A-226 17 Custom Series magazine for the R34 gas blowback pistol. Spare magazines are one of the most useful things a gas pistol owner can buy: each one carries its own gas, so swapping magazines also gives you a fresh supply.
Army Armament’s custom pistols, including the R34 family, are popular for offering plenty of visual detail and solid gas blowback performance at a sensible price.
About this magazine
The product name combines several model references, so please check the product images, or contact us with your pistol’s model code, to make sure it is the right magazine before ordering. The 24-round capacity comes from the product name.
In a gas blowback pistol, the hammer strikes a valve in the magazine to release a burst of gas. Part of it drives the BB through the hop-up, and the rest pushes the slide back to give recoil and load the next round.
Using it
Fill the magazine in short bursts with the can held upright, then let it settle for a moment before use. Load the BBs, push the magazine fully home until it clicks, and fire a few shots at a safe backstop to check it feeds and cycles correctly before relying on it in a game.
Gas pistols are at their best in mild to warm weather. On cold days, keep spare magazines in an inside pocket between uses.

Compatibility
Listed for the Army Armament R34 gas blowback pistol. Pistol magazines are often specific to the maker and model, even when pistols look similar, so check your pistol’s model code before ordering, and test the magazine in your pistol before relying on it in a game. Use the gas recommended in your pistol’s manual.
Care and maintenance
Put a drop of silicone oil on the fill valve and the gas seals every few fills, store the magazine with a little gas in it so the seals stay tight, and never overfill. Keep the feed lips clean and free of grit, use only good quality seamless BBs, and keep magazines away from heat sources and direct sunlight.
Who is it for?
It suits Army Armament R34 owners who want a spare magazine so they can stay in the game longer between refills.
Please note: The pistol, gas and BBs are not included.
