HFC M190 Slide Lock Problem

Boarder · August 29th, 2007, 01:47

I have a HFC M190 and when the BBs are out the slide doesnt lock back... can any one help me?

Probably cooldown. Did you empty the magazine quickly or fire many rounds fast before it was empty? My M190 did that.

If not, grip problems aren't unheard of, if you've taken them off.

i dont think so because it still doesnt lock back right when i first shoot it.

Remove your slide and check your slide lock. If part of it is missing or worn down then that would be your problem.

another thing is that the slide will lock back once and a while but not every time and if i shoot the gun pointing down the slide will lock back.

There's a spring under the left-side grip. If you've removed the grip and the spring is missing, not in the guide on the slide lock or on the frame, then this will happen.

Make sure that spring is installed properly.

And it's fixed?

Boarder · August 29th, 2007, 02:45

just checking now ... had lots of trouble getting the spring back... is the slide lock supposed to push downwards or up

Boarder · August 29th, 2007, 02:52

nvm about the last post... if u oush the slide lock up then let it go the spring is supposed to bring it back down right?

Styrak · August 29th, 2007, 02:52

The spring is suppose to push it down. The magazine will push it up when it's empty, due to a small tab that's attached to the plastic BB "pusher" which is at the top of the magazine spring.

Boarder · August 29th, 2007, 02:54

ok the spring is right but the slide still wont lock back.

Is the slide recoiling all the way back when you fire it? What kind of gas are you using?
