I just got a TM Tacmaster with a Zeke chrome metal frame/slide installed. I loaded the mag up and used propane. On the first shot it fires but it doesn't seem to be cycling properly. I don't know what is up. I tried some silicon oil in spots but that doesn't seem to help. :?

i have the probelm with me G17 but i dont know if this part is on tac master, but in the rear of the slide on the bottom is there a screw? if so tighten it, i may come lose and preventing the block back from functioning all the way, or you mag may need new valves.

Just tried tightening it. Didn't get any tighter. >_<

im not sure your supposed to use propane on tm guns. but that wouldent have anything to do with the cycling.

Propane isn't the problem, I don't think. Previous owner used propane in it.

move the slide back and forth slowly, does it catch on anything?

I still can't figure out what the problem is. The slide isn't catching at all. I can cock it fine by hand. I'm gonna take it to AEX and see if they can diagnose the problem, and hopefully fix it.

Slow and sluggish blowback? Does the BB shoot okay?

is the little gas nozzle catching on the mag?

The blowback isn't slow or sluggish -- the slide doesn't go back all the way.

You'll have to troubleshoot. Assuming that you've installed it yourself:

I didn't install it myself, so my knowledge of taking apart an M9 is limited and a complete takedown is definitely not wise. It sucks, lol.

here's the problem....

Sounds like Zeke's have a tendancy to suck, eh? I'm hoping that it isn't a structural problem in the slide or barrel. :?

It seems like the nozzle head inside isn't slipping back and forth like it should. Getting stuck on the top of the metal slide. :roll:
