Bell M9 GBB parts?

Masada

i need this litte piece from inside the slide, dunno what its called or if it has a name but its causing the slide to jam and become stiff, it feels pretty sharp and is catching on the slide track and causing it to lift slightly off the track.,
anyone know where i can get one? or even if it would be the same as the ones in other manufacturers M9's?

cheers,;)

kdouglas

which little piece in that photo are you referring to exactly?

Masada

oh yeah, sorry i forgot to put the arrow in, its the silver metal piece that has the screw in it and the 2 springs underneath.,

kdouglas

had a look on wgc and they dont seem to stock a spare, might find one somewhere else, but why not just try fix it yourself? where exactly is catching? can it be bent with a pliers, or if not then file it down a bit?

Actually, if I can just jump in for a sec. I am in need of the little screw that holds this piece in place. Never got one. Reckon it's why mine never worked.

If anyone has or knows where to get one, I'd be glad to hear it

Masada

have been looking at it and i think its actually worn down a bit, its very sharp., im gonna have a look at it properly in a few mins and see if i can do anything.,
cheers,

and if anyone else has any further info on this part its much appreciated.,;)

local hardware? you'd probably get one with the right threads, but it might be a bit long, if it is, cut the excess off and file off the crap left by cutting

ill measure the screw later and let you know what size it is, might be easier than guessing since you cant bring the slide with you

That'd be great thanks. I spent ages disassembling electronic equipment all over the house looking for screws. The closest one I found came from the back of an 80's hand held console I have. Hadn't the heart to take it out.

its 3.5 to 4mm on mine and its a countersunk screw, im just fiddling around with it at the moment, see if i can figure something out..,

I have a suggestion...its a Bell...its a cheap low quality clone. Just buy a new one! Thats why they're cheaper than a real branded one.

If its cathing filing it down would seem to be the easiest solution, look along the edges and check for deformities/extruding pieces.

well actually its working perfectly now and didnt cost a washer thanks to tony, just have to get a propane adapter now, Im not stupid enough to just throw stuff away because its not working right, you must have more money than sense.,

I fitted the new part and while i had it taken all apart I ran a dremel over the old part to smooth it out, it works better than it didnt before with the repaired part but still a bit stuborn at times, the new pat hasnt given me any hassle at all.,
thanks again tony.,;)
