GuzziHero Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 I've purchased a parts gun, a WE M1911A1, and have decided to try and get it working instead of just cannibalising it. Previous owner has removed the bottom half of the grip and its associated 3-prong spring. Now, the hammer will not lock back, nor will the slide lock move, and I feel perhaps that the 3 prong spring is the key to both. Does anyone have an exploded diagram, or an explanation on how to install the spring? Cheers! Link to post Share on other sites
GuzziHero Posted April 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Sorted that. Spring installed. Now, it appears that when I try to engage the slide lock, it is moving the beaver, making the hammer drop when the slide is cycled. The slide lock will not move to engage properly Any hints? I do have a small screw that came with this, that I cannot identify a use for. Link to post Share on other sites
GuzziHero Posted April 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Right, the little silver rod with a rounded end that presses the gas out of the mag is currently stuck up as far as it will go, so isnt pressing the gas release. I do have a small self tapping screw that I cant identify (this gun came in bits). Link to post Share on other sites
GuzziHero Posted April 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Sorted that, the spring for the gas hammer was misinstalled. Now, I just have a very weak hammer... Link to post Share on other sites
