WE G18C loading nozzle

[Shrapnel[Op-For]]

Hey,

Recently purchase a WE g18c, after shooting the first mag the loading nozzle failed to return and gas was shooting onto my hand through the bottom of the slide. I took the gun apart to discover a broken loading nozzle and bent spring. Anyone else have this problem with there WE g18's? Does anyone know of a good solution to replace this nozzle?

thanks

Any TM compatible Glock nozzle and spring. WE Glocks are TM based.

Are you sure? Everything I've read so far says they will not fit. The WE nozzle is smaller then other nozzles.

unless the glocks are specifically different, for the most part WE are 100% clones of TM

I was about to post the same question. I have the same problem.

Not really.

The TM Loading muzzles don't fit the WE muzzle housing. It's too big. You can go WE loading muzzle to TM muzzle housing but not TM nozzle to WE housing....

that nub is breaking either because the loading muzzle spring is not functioning or the plunger under the extractor plate is too long. If it's long enough, the loading muzzle's little nub will slam against that plunger. The force of them two colliding will sever the nub completely depending on if the slide is still recoiling to the rear.

I said it before. And I will repost it again. ..

This a fairly common area to break in the muzzle. The Glock 18c's loading muzzle only has two impact points against the blowback housing, as opposed to the G17 where it has three. THe first is the actual circumferance of the loading muzzle that hits the back of the piston head prong. the second is that nub.

That nub can only break in two ways:

the first is if the loading muzzle's return spring is too strong and slams the loading muzzle against the BBH too hard. This is a rarity that it will break like this since there is first impact point i mentioned above to cushion to blow.

the Second is if the return spring is not able to overcome the the force of the slide as it travels to the rear forcing the loading muzzle to remain stationary while all the other parts are moving around it. This action will slam that nub to the FRONT of the BBH rather than the back. At this point, the only thing that cushions the blow is the nub. This is why this part fails or breaks. It's the ONLY impact point during this time.

I would check to make sure that the muzzle return spring can function properly. That is, it is able to push the loading muzzle back to battery. Make sure that the plastic plunger does not go inside of the muzzle.

THe second thing I would check is to see if there is any contact friction between anything surrounding the loading muzzle. This can be from the magazine's gas route packing, the BBH, even the hop up unit.

hope it helps....

Which nozzles would fit in the WE then? Or is it a proprietary part and only a WE would fit.

[e-luder]

yep.

I think they recently started making some replacements. There were some that saw on ehobby, though I can't remember who made them. But then again, everyone is starting to carry the stock replacement WE nozzles anyways. It's not that hard to find...

WE glock nozzles are proprietary. Not TM clone at all.

That is correct. WE nozzles are not TM clones, ive tried it many times. So the initial posts above indicating that they are TM clones are incorrect. If you need stock WE nozzles and return springs, Ive got around 20 to 25 of each directly from WE.

Yes....this I have modded a TM nozzle to fit but it is not worth the trouble. Stupid WE with their stupidness. Their glocks are the nicest WE's I have ever seen though.

[Afflicted]

I've got a gen 4 g23 (WE) and the SAME thing happened to me..I've put under a dozen mags into this and the nozzle did the same thing and also bent the return spring as well. Can't find parts either..

[Styrak]

Well shit. Sorry guys.

I may have to meet up with you one day to buy one of them if you don't mind

@ E luder. Thanks for clearing things up friend!
