Wegalaxy Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 (edited) Hello, This is my vorsk hi capa. Very old and very used. When firing the pistol it locks back no problem after the last shot. If I insert the magazine without bbs and manually pull the side back, the pistol slide doesn't lock back. THIS ISSUE ONLY HAPPENS WITH ONE OF MY MAGAZINES. (In the video) The internals look fine, the follower has a mark on it but I don't see how that's an issue. Any help or guidance to parts or fixing the problem would be appreciated. Thanks VID_20240815_173949.mp4 Edited August 15 by Wegalaxy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theSwede Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Could be that the magazine spring has started to loose some tension. Wegalaxy and Nick G 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could take the spring out and stretch it a tad. The kick of the slide moving back when fired is probably enough to jolt the follower up to lock it back. theSwede and Wegalaxy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick G Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 1911's seem bad for this. It's usually the follower spring not having the strength to push the take down lever up . I've found on one or two where I've removed the detent pin that preses against the take down lever that sorts it. However the little spring that pushes on the detent also pushes the safety lever detent so a bit of fettling is sometimes required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theSwede Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Could also be that you’re using gas thats too strong so the slide travels back and forth too fast to lock back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
