TM G18C EBB Slide Locked
 

Hey, I'm attempting to fix a friends EBB....(shit I know) but regardless I cant seem to find the problem. When i pull the slide back it stay in place insted of returning back to its original position. When i took off the slide I realized it did not have a recoil spring...and im not sure if there is suppose to be one in the particular ebb model. Anyways I attached a video below...I can make some more if it would help.

Trash it and tell him to buy something better. It's a rude answer, but it's the truth.
Not worth the effort.

And now a more helpful reply.

Do you have the manual for the EBB? It might have an exploded diagram showing if there should be a spring. There aren't many of these around, and due to their price people don't tend to fix them, they simply upgrade once they are broken.

Your best bet is to try to find a diagram, and see what dosent line up, (I think your correct about the recoil spring, it would explain why the slide wont move corectly, and old my EBB Desert Eagle had such a spring).

Can you give us more information surrounding the circumstances that caused the damage? What happens when you fire it, without manually cyling the slide?

I couldnt find any manual in the packaging. Im going to head out today and buy some new energizer batteries and test it out.

tell him to go out and buy himself a gas glock18c. the ebb's are not even worth the time.

Omg, people. Do you think these posts help at all? No shit he learned a lessen but right now he has a broken gun he wants to fix. So post something helpful or dont. These EBB's are like $100 a pop, i bet you 10000 bucks that you would try to fix it if you had one too. -__-"

I have a feeling it might be because it doesn't have batteries, but im not too sure. It might be missing a spring too. I tried finding a manual or something on the net, but no hope. Ask your friend when it started to happen.

(im in a bad mood today.) : D

the key word there is IF i had one. but thats just the thing, i wouldn't have one because i know that 100$ for that is a wasted 100$...

and anyway, these posts are helpful because it shows him the error of his ways by getting the 100$ ebb.

Read the fuckin tread... Greylock said the same thing before you. And NO, this is NOT helpful.

Anyways....I put in the batteries today and it still doesnt move a bit. I guess ill just tell him to buy a gbb. If i manage to fix it I'll update this thread.

see? these threads are helpful

:lol:

Take a look at the WE Hi-capa 3.8 or 5.1 if the metal slide jives him. Good prices too.

Here are some pics i took today, seems like the gears locked because of the blockback mechanism. Anyways, im just wondering if I put the gears together properly.

K, so i fully assembled it again and it does work...however I have 1 spring that i could not find a spot for and im assuming its the reason why the gun wont fire without the assistance of a screwdriver or somthing pushing the trigger mechanism against the switch. So it will only shoot if im applying force to the trigger mechanism so that it can move the switch... Now i just need your help to tell me where to put the last little spring.

Did you fix it? if not, i offer to buy it.

If you're not sure then why bother posting? Post something helpful, omg people.

Oooh, it might be a spring! That's exactly what the guy stated in the original post.

And just so you know, I'm not posting anything helpful either 'cause I'm a hypocrite and I admit it.

I'm not in a bad mood today.
