KWA G17 not feeding properly

defenderdude

I have a G17 and on it's second outing today it refused to feed and fire. When racked it wont return fully home because of jammed bb's. I've had a look and cant really see anything obvious which might cause this.

I've looked through the manual and had a look ath the schematic but cant see enough detail to check it out properly.

Never had it opened or messed about with it and only fired about 20 mags through it.

Upon closer inspection it seems that the bb wont travel up into the start of the barrell and jams at the entrance to it.
I've adjusted the hopup without any improvment. I'm wondering now, if there's something broken/missing that is supposed to help feed the bb up.

I've taken a pic to show where I think there may be a piece broken/missing and causing the problem.

Any ideas please?:)

Yep, that part is broken alright

hey did you give it a good siliconing(is that a real word) give it plenty,

Sorry, I'll elaborate.

The part you have the arrow pointed at should have a bit sticking out that's missing. This part pushes the bb up out of the magazine.

wow, thanks Derek - but that's not necessary - I'm afraid it broke on my watch

Not sure how exactly - but O1s1n and VTEC have helped id the problem. I need to replace the muzzle loader as there's a wee piece of plastic broken off wich stops the bb's feeding.

Maybe it was when I tried throwing it at Gandalf to stop his charge at HRTA yesterday...

(worked a treat)

Thanks anyway but I'll give you a shout during the week about the piece.:)
