Gabbiano Bands

Thread Status: Hello , There was no answer in this thread for more than 60 days.
It can take a long time to get an up-to-date response or contact with relevant users.
Almost happened me to!
On my second day of using the gun,suddenly that little plastic clip just was'nt there anymore, the instant solution was some woodenstick i found on the bottom and back home i made some threading in one of the holes and mounted a stainless m5 bolt!
 
Weird - I just went and looked at my gun, it would take me quite a lot of effort to actually remove the plastic clip so I can't see it falling out very easily.

Have you changed the bands many times in the past? You might have weakened it - it looks quite brittle.
 
Never had this issue, or heard anybody had any before you. But I can see it happening, and in facts I didn't trust much the given clip. So I made my own custom, shaping the iron wire of a paper clip. It works ok and it's still there after years (I love these low-tech DIY solutions, always the most efficient).
Hope this helps. Sorry for your bad luck!
