Mostly Retired Moderators L3wisD Posted January 12, 2017 Mostly Retired Moderators Share Posted January 12, 2017 Evening fellas, Back in December I bought a 2nd hand KJW G23 from someone on ZeroIn, for £50. "Very worn, but good working order, leak free mag" I was going to strip the slide of its paint anyway, so "worn" was fine with me. And he was correct, it worked good for the first two magazines. Unfortunately it doesn't fire at all now and taking it apart, it seems the hammer mechanism needs replacing - it's not striking the valve on the magazine hard enough to release enough gas. Only hittinf it gently enough to get a tiny pop noise, and the release of a miniscule amount of gas, which doesn't cycle the slide or fire a BB. There's also a notchy clicking sensation coming from next to the hammer where the trigger moves the hammer mechanism. Now, bearing in mind the gun cost £50 I don't want to spend lots of parts at all really. As I've not worked on a GBB before, I considered dropping into a shop for them to fix it for me. A2 in reading quoted £60 to cover parts and labour, which brings it up to New Pistol price now. Is it financially viable to repair myself? If it can be done for around £25/£30 I'd consider it. Or should I sell it for £30 spares/repair? (Anyone interested if that's the case?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly Retired Moderators L3wisD Posted January 17, 2017 Author Mostly Retired Moderators Share Posted January 17, 2017 I was told about a completely new hammer you can drop into the gun, but I've since sold it for spare parts Sorry I can't help, D90.

Alicks Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I would send an email to kjw themselves. They will be able to send you the parts you need direct and are usually cheaper than going through any distributor. The postage is peanuts as well. I have bought direct before and they are quite prompt to reply and give you a price. Just type kjw in on Google and it will bend the top one probably. Hope this helps.

HSCtheta7 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Hi there mate, my G23 recently died on me due to a broken trigger spring and I took it down the other day...so I've got a hammer unit kicking about if you'd want it. If not, I'd consider buying the Glock and just replacing the hammer with mine. Either way XD Theta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostly Retired Moderators L3wisD Posted January 29, 2017 Author Mostly Retired Moderators Share Posted January 29, 2017 Yeah I've sold this on now for Jebus to fix or use for parts, might be worth asking him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
