AlphaBear 👏👏👏

 

You were absolutely correct, that’s where the little chap has come from, not the MWS at all, but the speed loader. 
 

Actually come out of the new speed loader. As below; old to the rear of the photo, new to the front, o-ring missing to the front one ☝️ 
 

Thank you all, what a great help, I can now go and let of a few mags with confidence I am not doing any damage. 😊😏😁

Ahhhh I recognise that MWS. The chap you got it from is pucker and a true gent. And he’s kit is well looked after. From the spec it’s got a stock Marui bolt and the picture confirms this. There is no way an o ring could have gotten into the inner barrel.
 

Unless???? Now this idea is actually real and happened to me. I think Ive figured it out. What speed loader are you using? I use a Marui XL speed loader and it has an o ring in the bb tube that feeds into the mag. I suspect that somehow the o ring got detached (happened to me) and got pushed into the magazine along with some more bbs. You may have pushed a tad too hard to fill the mag with bbs. I am sure that’s how the o ring got into your MWS!! Taaaaa Daaaaa! And just for good measure check your speed loader. I bet it will be missing that o ring. 

 

 

AB , you might have hit the nail on the head, I am still at work, so not able to check just yet, but….. ( get ready for a well done 👏 sir…. ) 

 

When I filled the mag, the speed loader failed, as in, I mean the part you press down to inject the bbs , got stuck , and I gave up with it ( as I am impatient )

Then I opened up a brand new speed loader from its packaging and continued with that one…. It would in theory make perfect sense. 
 

The new speed loader is a TM so I bet the older one is also, they both came with the MWS. 
 

Yeah, your right about the seller… I got nothing but a good feel for his character. 
 

I did ask his opinion, but 1) I didn’t want to bother him, and 2) he wasn’t sure where it could have come from either ! 
 

I will check this evening and revert back , thanks all,

Hi Alpha Bear , that’s re-assuring , I will add a list of the build spec below to my lay person’s knowledge, and some initial photos of the lower and upper receiver apart.

Hi Ed, not sure ? 
 

I need to get it out into the garden in the day light to see how it’s behaving I would guess, only collected it Saturday and I didn’t have time to have a play over the weekend. Didn’t know if anyone had come across this before. Running it on red predator gas, but if it has not been used for some time, perhaps the o ring has failed. Just need to work out where it has come from, as you say, take her apart, one way to learn I suppose, 😏

 

thanks for the prompt reply 👍

Hi all, 

 

Looking for some help, 😊

 

Just purchased my first GBBR, (MWS) used, however great transaction from a genuine gentleman. Test fired on the day of purchase and all ok, no issues or regrets running through my mind at all. 

 

Absolutely in love with it, however this evening I tried a few rounds on semi auto, all ok, switched to auto and it jammed with say 5 .25 bbs in the inner barrel. I naturally used a cleaning rod down the business end to push them back out, (mag removed). However on the removal of said bb’s, out appeared a broken small O - Ring. 
 

I have looked at the upper and lower receiver, it looks ok, but I do not know enough, and although I consider myself practical… I am not confident to start in the deep end and take it all apart. 
 

I have put another mag through it after clearing the bb’s, and it seems to be running fine. Although it’s a dark evening and I have firing into a cardboard box on my top floor landing. So not sure of anything has happened to power or range etc , or even accuracy for that matter.

 

But knowing this O Ring has appeared, I feel I need to ask the question 🙋🏼‍♂️? 
 

Appreciate any help in advance..

 

Even though this little initial speed bump has occurred, I know that the MWS is the way forward for me , even though I just spent a fortune on a new TM recoil with all the upgrades 🤦‍♂️🙄, 

 

thanks all , Best regards, Andrew
