Airsoft Canada - View Single Post - Hi-Capa 4.3 : Creation Outer Barrel Compatibility with PGC slide

Anyone??

Anyways I went to get a SD outer chamber as I measured the chamber lugs on the Creation chamber and they were off by a couple of mm's to the stock one. Screwed on the Creation outer barrel on the SD chamber, installed the new uber-expensive chamber and still the same problem persists. However when I turned the slide upside down and racked it it returned to battery perfectly. Tried racking the slide while pushing the tip of the outer barrel up and it worked as well. So I'm thinking that its due to the new outer barrel being too heavy and pulling the entire chamber assembly down. This could also be caused by the fact that the outer barrel is no longer supported by the spring guide barrel that came with the PGC slide. The PGC slide polished spring guide barrel doesn't have a bushing-like support under the barrel like the stock Marui one. Will try the stock spring guide barrel later tonight to see if that solves the problem.

However, I'm just confused on why this setup doesn't work. I've seen plenty of pictures of guns with PGC sldies with the springe guide barrels that don't have the bushing-like support, with SD outer chambers, and they all report as working perfectly fine. But most I've see are with the 5.1. Not sure if that is the case with 4.3's. With the new PGC slide and springe guide barrel, the lighter stock plastic outer chamber and barrel works flawlessly. With a metal chamber and barrel, it gets stuck 1cm from battery when racked. Returns to battery when using the SD chamber, but only when upside down.

What am I doing wrong?? Please advise!
