already done my brother

id like to try seeing if its light striking before i look into the router side of things well if its something i can fix without ordering parts haha which is the question how do i tell if its light striking and how do i resolve that

once ive exhausted anything i can try in house with out replacing stuff first i may take you up on that bud thank you the offer is greatly appreciated!its more i dont want ya going to the hassle of sending one yet incase it isnt needed like the replacement parts ive bought so far lol other than the bucking anyway lol

If it were me i'd take the trigger mech apart and check everything's running smooth and clean, no bits of grit etc binding things up. But 1911 style triggers can be a bit of a bear to work with (well, most pistol triggers are a bear to work with).

will get that done just waiting on the kiddos and wife to head to bed so i have peace to do it lol,right if i have any problems expect to be tagged my bud sorry for being a pain in the ass haha

Fair enough. It can be quite tricky as for some reason these things are designed for people who apparently have double the normal number of fingers to hold everything in-place.

definatly spoil the fun haha lol

The pin in the middle?

Looks like the detent for the safety- theres the bar on the side of the frame with 2 detents and a spring, the front detent puts tension on the slide catch the rear one (which normally escapes) puts tension on the safety.

That pin is out of the tube left side of frame between the safety lever and the slide stop lever. It's the slide catch detent pin. It's shaped like that to stop it coming out of the front of the tube when you remove the catch for strip down.

so theres 2 pins on the safety? as i have the spring loaded one already removed *yeah hunting for the spring was a bitch*

The tube has 2 pins and 1 spring that pushes between them.

The front pin normally doesnt come out on its own but the spring and rear pin jump out the moment you pull the safety out.

 

[Misery]

so little one spring then big one?

 

[Alimcd]

That’s the way. They’re a right bastard when you’re getting the thumb safety back on...

You’ll need a small Allen key or flat head to compress the pin in as you rotate the safety. Slip and it’s off to another dimension somewhere in your carpet!

 

[Misery]

yup just had it happen there hahaha

gd call! i uses a small modelling file hahah

ok so all back together and no change other than gun sounds a bit nicer lol

i have seen a hicappa vid where the bend the spring for the hammer slightly is that advisable to try or should i move on from that area and exp[lore the gas router?

striker not hammer haha*

 

[Alimcd]

I’d try the hammer spring first.

One cludgy way of adding tension to the hammer spring if it’s light striking is to place a BB under the hammer spring in the MSH.

Certainly quickly rules out light striking

 

[Misery]

will give that a try thank you for the tips so far man you and adolf have been a great help

 

[Misery]

forgot to mention the other day i noticed that part doesnt seem right in my opinion i know the slide pushs it down but dont think it catchs properly which in turn the strikers not going in fully

should be easy enough to check, drop the hammer than lock the slide back and look to see if the knocker is resetting.

that wouldn't give low fps though, just mag venting.
