I have replaced the recoil spring with a 120% one as the stock version was a bit worn/crap and now the slide doesn't lock back after the last BB is fired. 

I've not really tinkered with GBB's before so am a bit dense... 

Advice? 

 
What gas you using? Higher spring strength means more energy required to push back the slide 

 
Zero One green gas... But the slide diesnt lock back even if i manually rack it.

Put the normal spring back in it and try again, always do a process of elimination.

Are you sure you bought one that is doubled over like the stock one? Due to the short barrel length it requires it. 

 
Ahh... I did wonder why the stock spring was like that. No. Its just a standard spring, not doubled over....

I am afraid you have the wrong spring

The Strike Warrior has the shortest inner barrel of any GBB at 74mm so it needs a doubled over spring in order to give a decent kick and slide return. Otherwise the spring is just not powerful enough. ?

Can any of you guys point me in the right direction of a retailer and the right spring?
