Pixilus Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 I've had myself a WE G17 for a while now and ever since I got it it's had an issue where the slide will stick halfway back if pulled there, or after firing sometimes it will get stuck in that position as well. Now this is a big ass pain, especially when I'm in the middle of a game. What I wanted to know was is this a problem with all WE glocks or specifically with the stock custom one I bought (https://www.milspecsolutions.co.uk/gas-blowback-pistols/we-pistols/WE-G-FORCE-G17-Custom-Pistol-Black-Slide-Gold-Barrel.html) or just a one off thing with my particular glock, and is where a way to fix it or mod it to make the slide smoother. I've had a look at the internals to try and figure out what the slide is resisting against but can't figure it out. (Video test.webm shows the slide stick problem better than I can explain it).

Guest Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Haven’t watched the vid, but two things will fix it. Clean it thoroughly, and lubricate t correctly. Then replace the standard hammer bearing with a roller bearing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(https://www.rainbow8.com/products/gunsmodify-bearing-rotor-set-for-tm-g17-hammer-gm-zero-housing-set-hammer?_pos=2&_sid=6036a3b31&_ss=r) Will this TM part work in this WE one? Since I know we is tm copied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Yes, exactly that, but I’d try and get one from the UK or you’ll be waiting months lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cr0-Magnon Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 First course of action should be clean and lube. Then look for where the slide isn't running smoothly and perhaps carefully file. I've experienced this before, even with Marui Glocks but they break in after a decent amount of usage. You could speed that up by removing the magazine and racking repeatedly until it improves.

Sneaky Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 When I first got my WE G23, the after test firing it, I took the thing apart. I found that the internals were very dry, so after some serious cleaning and lube, put the thing back together and I have not had a problem with it since. Racking the slide to ensure that all parts are lubed also helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Corona dies down I'll get some new parts for it and hope it fixes it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
