KWA 1911 Part 16, Is It Replaceable?

ElSniperino

I was putting my KWA 1911 back together when the little metal ball bearing (Part 16) that was between the hop-up rubber and the plastic casing around it flew out and now it is impossible to find. I'm wondering if it's possible to buy that part or if it's the same as the KWA Glock 18C, as that is the only other part 16 I can find from KSC.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

RC shops might have a tiny bearing like that, or any hobby shops for trains could be worth trying.

It's definitaly a good idea, but I don't know the diameter of the bearing so getting a replacement from those shops could be fairly risky as it might be too big or too small and either damage the hop-up or have too little effect.

The little gap in KWA hop rubbers for the bearing is very close to its size as I recall, so bring that along and just try a few sizes out I guess, cant be too pricey for a bearing anyway.

Maybe an airsoft shop has a write off kwa also you could harvest?

That is what I'm going to do, actually. I've already planned on heading out to buy some new stuff with some Christmas money, mags etc, so I'll chance it.

Thanks very much, your help is very much appreciated

I think its a 1mm, and you can get a packet of them in motorbike shops for a couple of euro.,

Right, it's sorted, the part's on order and should arrive fairly soon. Thanks for your help. I guess a mod can lock this if they feel the need to.
