TM G17 problem.. pls help!

szetor · February 27th, 2008, 06:26

i let my friend play around with my g17.. he pulled the slide back 1 too many times.

anyways a BB jammed somewhere wierd, and the slide would remained locked back (its stuck, the slide lock is down). i shook it around and eventually this BB came out.. but the slide is still stuck (when i pull the trigger the slide moves a bit)

today i managed to get the slide off with some force. i put the slide back on.. and same thing happend... stuck again. must have screwed up something with the hammer or trigger or something i dont know..

What suggestions do you guys have?? any help is appreciated
ive taken out the outer barrel/hop up already so i know thats not the problem .. still gets stuck with out it. if you guys need any pictures let me know!!

Is this using stock plastic slide?

Slide going back too far, jams up. When slide is jammed back, you pulled trigger, and the slide lifts and moves a tiny bit forwards.
And feels like you have to smack the back of the slide to get it sliding forward.
If you take the slide off you might notice lots of wear on the top of the Trigger Lever. (G26-36)

I think this is the area of concern. If it is bent in the wrong direction (up/down) your going to have problems. And the trouble is. I wouldn't go randomly bending things or your going to have more problems.

And I cannot suggest which way to bend what,

It will either jam the slide on its way back, or cause the lever to slip off the hammer mech and not fire the gun properly.

I know guarder has released a replacement trigger lever to correct the "slipped" problem. But I cannot say you want to buy additional parts at this point. This problem appears common with the G26/G17 series.

hey dude thanks for the info.. atleast i know whats wrong now.

i can see how its jammed now.. when its stuck i just poke the trigger lever and it un-jams

OK It doesn't jam anymore... but somethings wrong with the trigger now
when i cycle the slide it seems like it keeps catching on that lever... but atleast its not jamming now.
