So I have a used WA SVI 5" and I am having a few weeee little problems.
(Using AI adapter and Coleman propane bottle)
First, the mag doesnt want to hold propane at all. I've used lots of Silicone oil on every part imaginable. At first on the mag I didnt notice the valve was held open by a little sliding peice of steel so after I just pushed that down and tried to fill it up the mag would barely take any gas. Two maybe three shots. When I am trying to fill up the mag there is lots of propane going everywhere except in the mag. I've tried moving around to all sorts of positions to try and get a proper seal but nothing has worked. Could there be something wrong with the valve or is it just me?
Next up is feeding. So the one or two shots worth of propane is in the mag, cock the slide and let her go forward. Unfortionally it doesnt go all the way forward. It stops with maybe 1/4" to go. Reason is that three of four BB's are floating around inside the gun. As soon as I try to cock it BB's just flood out of the mag. Even after I remove all the free BB's and try to crack a shot off just to see if it even fires we get more problems!
When I fire the gun, sometimes there wasnt even blowback. It just fired and thats it. Or, something more wonderful would happen. The gun would fire, the slide would cycle back and then stop, and in all its glory I could see the entire blowback system with a pretty spring and all sorts of parts through the shell ejection port.
All of this happened with only 5 pulls of the trigger. I have not even fired five bb's through the gun so far.
So what the hell is happening and how do I fix it?
Thanks folks
