WE Hi-Capa Spring question.

[Nighthawk]

Hay guys i recieved a spring set today 150% element recoil and hammer springs.

Now i just about got the recoil spring fitted but now the slide will not lock.

here is a pic of both springs fully compressed.

Stock

150% element


So as you can see it stops the slide going back that extra 15mm or so. The gun still works but i dont know if its doing any damage at all and ofc i can put the slide lock on. Any advice?

thanks

Re: WE Hi-Capa Spring question.

hi mate had this trouble with mine, my element spring was a tad thicker than the stock which make the gap bigger which in turn dissable my slide lock but ive not had any trouble which the gun breaking hope this helps

Re: WE Hi-Capa Spring question.

Same with my Glock 27 i had. I had to cut down the spring a little. It shouldn't ought to do any harm at all. And with a new hammer spring, the slide would probably not lock back anyways as it would be out of gas quicker.
