The one that holds the slide release down, has a habit of slipping off the wee tab on the slide release.

Hmm might be missing that - which part number is it? You got a pic also?

 

[Adolf Hamster]

Me gun is in bits currently getting a refinish, but i'm meaning where the spring hooks over the tab here:

Nope not ever seen a spring on that bit so I must be missing it - any chance you have a photo of the spring or the part number?  Cheers

Struggling to see which piece you mean on the exploded diagram.

 

[Adolf Hamster]

I'll try and grab a pic later.

The spring is nested in the left side of the trigger unit, it shouldnt fall out unless you remove the whole thing.

One end sits on the slide lock holds it down, so i'm assuming if its slipped off then the catch is jumping up when firing.

That makes sense - thanks I appreciate it, sorry for being a pain

 

[Adolf Hamster]

Its cool, like i say mines currently in bits anyway, trying to get a proper blued finish to it.

 

[EvilMonkee]

Its certainly a fiddly wee brute to get back together.  Will keep an eye out when I get home for those pics - cheers again

 

[Adolf Hamster]

Its not the worst, i'd take it over a 1911 with its 3 fingered spring of never being in the right damn place.

 

[EvilMonkee]

Found that spring, god its miniscule

All fixed and can now actually hop .3s.  Thanks for the help.  Learnt a lot about the platform.

 

[Adolf Hamster]

Found that spring, god its miniscule

Yeah its just the very tip sits on the slide catch to hold it down.

Thank god it doesnt go walkies as long as you leave the trigger unit in.

@Adolf Hamsterwould this work https://www.fire-support.co.uk/product/nineball-603mm-inner-barrel-for-marui-usp-compact-751mm

 

[Adolf Hamster]

Iirc the pdi i'm running is usp compact length, 75mm sounds about right

 

[EvilMonkee]

Had the chance to blast away in daylight with the new nub and I key yesterday - sending .3s a good 40m without the barrel extension (I can't find it).  Gas efficiency still shit in this weather but overall a hell of an improvement.

 

[Adolf Hamster]

what bucking you running?

i'm running a green autobot and with a rubber shim under the hop arm it'll lift even .48's (and bulge the nozzle every other mag  )

effeciency wise i havent found much, you could look at aftermarket piston heads, i kind of heath-robinson'd a cowcow one with a chunk o ring and a lot of sanding and whilst it's definately helped the warm effeciency (as in ability to run more than 1 mag) i've yet to try it in the cold.

really need to get this refinishing done.....

 

[EvilMonkee]

Same as you.  I am happy enough with it now

 

[Adolf Hamster]

Yeah, i found whilst the range and accuracy with the super heavies was fantastic, realistically i'm just not able to shoot that well with a pistol so was kinda pointless.

Run her on .32's these days, nice middle ground.
