WE Big Bird Top Slide Jammed! :(

[New2Airsoft]

Like it says in the topic, sadly.

I quite like my WE Big Bird, but it recently developed a fault whereby I cock it, pull the trigger and it just blasts straight through a full mag in a split second. Not cool.

OK, trigger sear probably. Great, I'll sort that.

Except ... top slide is jammed on. Feels like it's catching at the rear, I would guess on the hammer.

Anyone got any solutions to this? How the f... do I get the damn slide off?

I haven't resorted to whacking the back of the slide with a big hammer. Yet...

All assistance gratefully received.

Can you get to the void at the back of the slide?

If you can, pack that space with kitchen roll, tight as you can, then the hammer can’t rise and jam in the void.

Works perfectly on Glocks

Thanks @rocketdogbert. Tried that. No joy. Maybe I should have another go.

Kinda getting to the end of my tether with it, tbh. Quite an expensive paperweight!!

Have you tried swearing at it?

That works with my airsoft guns sometimes...

Silly question @L3wisD - called the effing thing every name under the sun, obvs! Doesn't appear to un-jam it though.

I’m in SE Essex (near Southend) I’ll happily have a look at it for you if you want

@New2Airsoft I'll personally vouch for RDB.. to put it into perspective, I won't buy second hand GBBs from anyone else.

If he can't fix it, no one can
