Hi Power Mk3

[Cyberlawyer]

It’s clear it’s a pretty poor design. What with this problem and the terrible hop design this would be a hard pass if it wasn’t for the fact that it is the only MK3 HP you can buy easily that shoots well enough to skirmish..

I don’t really understand why MK3 HPs are so scarce. It’s nearly as iconic as the 1911 and every man and his dog makes multiple versions of that pistol.......

Yeah, absolutely can't understand why there aren't more makers of this classic pistol

Not having managed to get through a full magazine before all hammer spring tension was lost,rather than send it back,having 20 plus years of tinkering with GBBs i thought id strip it and have a look.

The connecting bar between the hammer and the hammer spring(part no 5) is made of cheese unfortunately and the nut holding the spring under tension around the bar had stripped the threads( no great surprise there? 

Soldered the nut in place,reassembled, fired the pistol,great for the next 2 rounds.

Failure to fire again.

Restripped the pistol, to find the connecting bar has sheared.

Fair play WE,you've managed to create an utter bucket of shit out of what could have been a best seller with a bit more thought.

Have now ordered a tool steel bar of the required thickness to make a replacement.
