Korma Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Hi all, I've bought an ASG/KWA MP9 second hand and I have a little minor issue with the gun not locking back when the magazine has ran out of BBs. Just wondering if anyone has suggestions on what I can do to fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigStew Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 is it one mag or all mags? what gas are you using? if its one mag, mag follower could be damaged. if it's multiple mags options are it's not cycling fully or the bolt lock open is damage. does it lock when you manually rack the gun?

It appears to be most magazines. I am using green gas but I do have a bottle of red when it gets cold. The bolt sometimes does lock back when I hold up the magazine. I sometimes notice that the bolt doesn't fully close when I do release it. Only a minor gap though. Not sure if this information helps. I can provide any videos if need be.

It sometimes does lock back when you hold the magazine further up into the gun. So I am not sure if that has something to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigStew Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Sounds like the bolt locking mechanism has worn out then. On most airsoft GBBs they are fairly flimsy. I would look on you tube for some disassembly vids. KWA are quiet good for parts but I don't think there any UK stockiest so KWA USA is your best bet you'll be at least be able to get a part number.

Korma Posted May 6, 2021 Author Share Posted May 6, 2021 I am pretty confident on taking part the MP9 so I will identify the part number and try to track one down. Thanks for your help so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you able to point out what I would need to look for to fully confirm the fault? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigStew Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 I no longer have a mp9 so nothing to compare it to. As I said a YouTube take down vid is your best bet for comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korma Posted May 25, 2021 Author Share Posted May 25, 2021 So I actually manage to fix the issue a few weeks ago, The actual bolt catch wasn't sat under the bolt correctly so I had to reseat it back into position and now works the dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
