Airsoft Canada - View Single Post - WE M1911 Not cycling properly (decent amount of pics)

Hey All,

So I got a WE M1911 MEU in a trade, and the thing was working perfectly. I took it to a game this weekend, low and behold it falls out of the holster I got for it (don't buy universal holsters...) and lands into some dirt and grim. I wasn't able to strip and clean it, due to this being a marathon game, but it worked perfectly up until the last hour. This is when my problems started.

The slide will not feed bbs correctly. The bbs get stuck in the hop up loading chamber, and the slide gets stuck at about 1/8th of an inch.

I've taken the entire slide apart. I cleaned it, used car polish on every moving piece to get the dirt out, oiled it, and put it back together. For the lower reciever I took everything but the hammer off and did the same thing. There is not any dirt on this gun right now. I sanded the lip of the hop up unit down about 1/32nd of an inch, and I opened the walls up on it 1/64th, I also polished them to a mirror finish.
I even replaced the valves on one mag to test it, with no avail. They all seem to be getting stuck

Also, the loading nozzle has no cracks or chips in it, though it does get a little stuck on the piston head.

Am I missing something? What else can I do to try fixing this? I was really hoping this WE wouldn't be a wallhanger.
