Slide Lock With Rounds Left

[Egoslave]

Hi all. New to the forum!

I have a VFC Glock 17 which is slide ‘locking’ with 3-4 BBs remaining in the mag.

Although it’s not actually locking back fully enough to utilise the slide release!

I have to manually rack it and then I can empty the mag.

Any ideas what can cause this?

Magazine? Gas?

Thanks

Welcome.

 

I once had a Stark Arms G17 (made by VFC) that had a similar issue, the gun would shoot nearly a mag and then the slide would stick out of battery.

 

Turns out, it needed a lot of lube. Once cleaned and greased/oiled in the appropriate places it worked fine.

 

Try that first and see what happens.

Thanks

I’ll give that a go and report back for others

Thanks for your help. A spot of oil and a fully gassed mag sorted out most of it. However, it now doesn’t lock back when empty. Very frustrating

Update. It’s a magazine issue as I tried my spare mag and it kicks back fine on empty
