My current project
Well I thought I would resurrect this thread
since the gun and mags finally ended up in my hands, and I thought some might like to know what was causing the problem. Over the past day I've swapped out the metal upgrades for stock plastic WA parts one by one eventually getting the gun back to a stock state. Usually metal upgrades need filing to work properly, but not in this case.. I hope lol. Now that the gun is all abs again, it's obvious what's causing the issue— the nozzle. It's way too loose in the breech. There's is roughly 2mm of play upwards, which is leading to the nozzle riding up on bbs and jamming it's self above the loading ramp, and slightly deforming the loading rubber, and letting the rear almost completely leave the blow chamber. Ramming the slide forward forces the nozzle's rear and o-ring to scrape back into the breech/chamber, since they are on an angle upward when stuck. The better way is to release the mag, since it's holding up the nozzle with follower or bb. The nozzle return spring is also worn, weak and stretched a bit, also contributing a bit to the issue. Now I've gotta get a new nozzle or 2 to try out. I don't know where the nozzle came from, or if it's the original stock one for this gun but I'm hoping a new SD complete nozzle with CP steel return spring, and a new loading rubber, will fix the jams once and for all. I'll update after the new parts are installed. Madmax, the WA's with springs on the inner barrel to aid in returning the ejection port chamber to battery are the SCW Hicap LE's and Experts. Not much gained by them in my opinion. |

Update
Well after getting the gun working
with a new (full length) rear nozzle cap the gun was shooting fine. So I decided to strip the black spray paint off the slide and swap some parts to make 2 hybrids: A Para HiCap and a SVI IED. Unfortunately the Para slide was nickel plated, I found out too late. The paint stripper had ruined the finish, so the long road of dremmel sanding off the plate had begun. Here's what's become of Brakoo's old single stacker— http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/b...c/IMG_2702.jpg http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/b...c/IMG_2703.jpg http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/b...c/IMG_2704.jpg http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/b...c/IMG_2705.jpg http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/b...c/IMG_2706.jpg http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/b...c/IMG_2707.jpg |

Good job and my bad about the paint, back then I went with the easy solution but I realized a little too late that my garage was too cold for the paint to adhere properly.

Actually the paint job was pretty good. The surface was slightly textured but really tough. Discovered another issue with build— the steel Guarder series 70 colt chamber was meant for the SCW series. So it was also helping cause the jams. I put that chamber on another build with an SCW2 inner barrel assembly and it was fine. The SCW ones are cut a bit different. I put a plastic black WA slide back on, with a gold chamber and polished off the chrome plate from the original barrel so it also looks like gold lol, pimpin'!
