TM Hi Capa 4.3 Strike Warrior

[Hellfish]

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 

 

[Hellfish]

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?

This would be most likely. There is no specific recoil spring entry for a Strike Warrior so we must assume the detonics one is the correct one. Let us know if this works! (I may need to buy one in a few years.)

See, I thought the Strike Warrior r was just a tarted up 4.3.... ?
