Need help w/ WA 1911!!

Sep 26, 2006 4:40pm
Hey guys I'm in desperate need of some help with my WA SCW2 1911. It is full Metal (PGC kit) with an aftermarket steel barrel and chamber, Shooters design nozzle assembly, sheriff floating valve, steel hammer, sear and strut, 150 percent hammer and recoil springs. The problem is that when I fire the gun, the first shot blows back very weakly, then the next shot blows back hard, so every other shot is hard and all the others are pretty weak. I'm trying to use red gas in it but it also seems to do the same kind of thing with green as well. I have no idea what to and I have a game coming up soon and this is my inly pistol I can use. Help me out guys!

Hey man do you think its that mag valve spring like on my Wilson mag? If it dry fires fine then Id look at the bbs getting pushed too far in by the floating valve, in which case the valve spring or chamber rubber may be going bad(too loose).

more lube on anything rubber... try it, it helps with alot of things :wink:

Yeah i trimmed the spring on the holding plate for the mag and it ended up making things worse. I'll go through and try some more lube and see i that helps anything. I think another thing is the firing pin. D80 was saying that it could be the issue. Cause since the gun apparently started as an SCW1 MEU it might be that the firing pin is still from the SCW1 gun, in which case I need to get an SCW2 one. Does anyone think that a hard fire SCW2 firing pin might help? What about screwing the magazine valve further in or backing it out a little bit?

wouldnt think the valve would matter. The rifing pin IS scw2 because it doesnt look anythink like my wilson- which we talked about. The SC2 and SC1 metal frames are different, you cant "mistake" the firing pin(there is phyically no cuts for it).

I think I've got it! I was messing with the magazines since all of them do it except for the original one that didnt have the valve completely screwed all the way in. The problem is that the pin wasnt hitting the valve in deep enough to compensate for the higher pressure of green and red gas, so try backing your valve out a bit rich and see if that fixes your problem. Also, the original magazine was constantly getting its mag rubbers eated by the nozzle and it turns out that the rubber was popping up each time gas came up through it and the nozzle would slam into it on its return forward.

Yeah but its not supposed to pop up almost halfway out. My original mag was doing that cause the fit was really loose. The newer ones dont tho so it looks to be working fine
