3Len Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 If I may ,I would like to add my 2cts to this. I have several WE guns,some of them display the above symptoms after a couple of days use.I find that just by spraying silicon oil copiously onto the top rubber seal of the mag,leave it for a few moments before loading up will cure the the problem.I believe that the gas you use will make the the seal slightly shrink after shooting a few mags,and the silicon will swell it up again. The tolerances inside these guns are tight,so a badly seated mag (a worn out mag catch for ex.due to repeated slamming of the mag into the grip will eventually cause all kind of headaches from light striking to insufficient blowback). Then again I never am in a rush to gut my gun and replace all its components.Hope this helps. Link to post Share on other sites
Carter Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 Hey, I have another mag problem. I will spray several 3 second bursts of gas into my mags, but still only get 2 or 3 and a half shots. What could be causing this? Link to post Share on other sites
JoshB Posted April 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 Thanks for all the help guys. the gun was looked at by a professional and was deemed unrepairable. Thanks again for the help and good ideas. Josh Link to post Share on other sites
hokeyplyr48 Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 carter: i was experiencing the same thing and figured out it was due to not letting the magazines warm up after filling. give the magazines a couple minutes after filling to warm up. Also there was a mod somewhere that you took the rubber piece off the top of the mag, put some loc-tite there, and put the rubber piece back on and people were claiming to get >40 shots. It was because it made a greater seal. i'll try and find it. Link to post Share on other sites
Carter Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 Yeah I just filled it up (or so I think) and let it sit for a litte and got 3 shots in which the slide moved, and on the fourth shot there only enough gas for the BB. The slide stayed put. Link to post Share on other sites
masakarijoe Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 hey, i have a we m1911 tactical, and i would like to remove the trigger and take off the paint for a silver look. how do i do this? -Joe Link to post Share on other sites
Carter Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Wil this mag fit the 1911 Tactical? I only ask because the baseplate is different and some of the markings on the mag are different. Link to post Share on other sites
masakarijoe Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 yes it will -joe Link to post Share on other sites
Aod Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Ok guys need some help here. I have a WE M1911A1 and it does not shoot for ######. When i pull the trigger it doesnt even blow back enough to chamber the next bb. I have replaced the mag valves, hammer sturt spring, piston head, and loading nozzle. Still no change. I just got the gun a day ago and it was used. I was told it worked fine and well it doesnt and after replacing all the thing i know to be the usual suspects i am out of ideas. So if anyone has any other ideas i would love to hear them... Josh You have either removed or broken Part 51 (look in the exploded diagram in the manual) which is the small gas key which holds the valve open untill the slide has recoiled fully.

ruchik Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Well, I have to ask the obvious, but are you sure that no gas is spilling out the mags? The WE valves are silent fill, so you should barely hear anything whilst filling them. Take the mag apart and check to make sure that the fill valve for the mag is seated properly, and that the little o-ring around the fill valve itself is well lubed. Link to post Share on other sites
JoshB Posted May 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Thanks for the info man. I have tried all the suggestions you gave already...lol Actually i gave up on this and have since parted out the pistol. I do apriciate your input though. Josh Link to post Share on other sites

Carter Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Hey, I have another mag problem. I will spray several 3 second bursts of gas into my mags, but still only get 2 or 3 and a half shots. What could be causing this? I asked this same question on my local forums, and one member thought perhaps my hammer spring was on the fritz. Could this be true? Link to post Share on other sites
JoshB Posted May 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 do you have any of it left? I have one or two pieces left from it. what are you looking for? Josh Link to post Share on other sites
JoshB Posted May 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Well i guess it coul be the hammer spring but i did change mine and it made no difference in my situation. Link to post Share on other sites
Carter Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 What does the hammer spring even do? What do you think the problem is? I received two new magazines and it is the same problem with them. Link to post Share on other sites
JoshB Posted May 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 the hammer spring is the one that moves the hammer. as far as the problem man i dont know. i never got mine fixed. i gave up and parted out the gun. Link to post Share on other sites
Carter Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 I don't want to do that simply because I love it too much. I suppose if TM hurries up and comes out with their MARSOC though... Link to post Share on other sites
JoshB Posted May 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 LOL I didnt mean for you to give up and part out your gun man. I was just saying thats what i did after many hours of swaping out parts and trying to fix it. Link to post Share on other sites
Carter Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 Oh, no, I understand. I was joking, really. I am determined to fix this gun...*sigh*...despite the cost. Link to post Share on other sites
