What do you mean by someone who specialises in GBBR's? Like a retailer selling them, or someone who repairs them?

Some1 who specializes in repairs of gbb guns and rifles

Why not just ask a shop if they can repair it? GBB rifles are a very niche market at the moment so there's really not enough money to be made locally by anyone specialising commercially.

As a hobby, sure.

What's the problem and what's the gun and gas-platform (i.e. WE or WA) you're using?

Lemming, the gun is a we scar gbb rifle. I previously brought this rifle to MIA to get the problem sorted but Chris told me he wasn't up to scratch with gbb rifles at the time. This issue I am having is its very tempermental as in sometimes it fires fine then next mag through it won't fire a bb at all. I paid a lot of money for it and it has yet to see d field as the issue has been about since purchase online from wgc shop. On that note I recommend avoiding that place as they not helpful at all.

I'm not overly familiar at all with the WE system as all my experimenting has been with the WA platform or sacrificing small animals to the dark god of Marushin for my M1 Garand magazine ejecting gas system. So I'll have to make qualified guesses.

To ask a silly question, when you say the next magazine through; are you loading up the same magazine with BBs and trying to fire again? Are you putting enough gas into the mag if that's the case?

Also to note on the above, 134a or green gas at this time of year yields fairly crap performance generally speaking due to the cold. Is the environment in which you're trying to use the gun cold? (e.g. out the back garden or a cold, unheated garage)

When you say that the gun is very temperamental? To what degree? Will the gun feed the first magazine through just fine and then go tits up? Or is it hit and miss from the word go?

Is the bolt able to cycle freely without jamming against anything when the magazine is loaded? Unloaded?

I am using green gas and no I use more than one mag through it, when I say tempermental I mean as in some cases it will not fire at all from the word het go then then next day odd as it sound it will fire a mag through it, I understand u must take weather into account and have tried and tested both indoor and out with no result. I would love to get it sorted so to put my money to use.

Have you checked the mags for leaks?*

Even when the gun does not fire, is the bolt cycling freely? And of course, what Johnny said about mag leaks.

I have one of these and once you get the kinks outa them they can be very good, It could be 3 things.
number 1, you could have a problem with your fireing pin in which case when the bolt cycles it isnt resetting the pin which leeds me to number 2

it could be the hammer, its the part where when the bolt carrier cycles and runs over the hammer in the reciever.

number 3, it might be the valve on the magazine which is dodgey, heard this on a few forums about GBBR'S.

Personally id stay away from the green gas mags as to put it bluntly there bollox the seals arent designed to handle very high pressures which is common with green gas apparently 134a is meant to be used, which you could use with the ra-tech npas but your sacrificing that "oh so good kick" when you fire. Upgrade the ****e outa it and switch to CO2 do maintenance regulary and you'll have a very good rifle.
