Description
KWA M226 Outer Barrel
This is a replacement outer barrel for the KWA M226, KWA’s gas blowback pistol in the style of the P226 service pistol. The outer barrel is the visible barrel that sits inside the slide and locks up with it as the pistol cycles.
Over time the outer barrel can pick up scratches, dents or wear where it meets the slide, and a damaged barrel can spoil the look of the pistol or make the action feel rough. A factory replacement restores the M226 to its original condition.
Why replace it
Signs that the outer barrel needs attention include visible damage at the muzzle or chamber, a loose or rattling fit in the slide, or rough cycling that is not cured by cleaning and lubrication. A replacement made for the M226 avoids the fitting issues that can come with parts from other pistols.
Fitting
Remove the magazine and make sure the pistol is unloaded. Field strip it following the instructions for your model, taking photos as you go. The inner barrel and hop-up unit normally need to be transferred to the new outer barrel, so handle the hop-up rubber carefully and make sure it is seated correctly when reassembling. Test the slide by hand before refitting the magazine.

Compatibility
Listed for the KWA M226. P226-style pistols from other manufacturers, and different KWA versions, may differ, so check your pistol model and compare the part with your existing barrel before ordering.
Care and maintenance
Wipe the outer barrel clean after use and keep grit away from the slide and barrel contact surfaces. A thin film of silicone oil on sliding surfaces helps the slide run smoothly. Avoid heavy grease, which collects dirt, and store the pistol with the magazine removed.
