G&G GC16 Charging handle spring.

[rosscoc87]

Hi, I recently stripped my G&G GC16 M4 and as a result I have gubbed the cocking handle & It wont retract to its original position. It is as if I have stretched the spring but it looks fine . Will I need a new spring? has anyone come across this before?

All help appreciated!

will it not retreact even if you push it? if so, likely it's not the spring that is the issue. If not, I'd try to compress the spring. if that does not work you better get a new one or just have a charging handle that does not retract.

Yes it will go back to its original position but not by itself. I have to push it in but it feels very loose. It has no function on the gun so its not affecting the performance in any way but its just annoying me.
