APS ACP issues

[blair]

Just got the pistol the APS ACP Gen 2 and whilst the pistol feels awesome in the hands and worked for about 15 shots it now on all 3 mags i bought only seems to partially cycle the slide not even enough to pick up a BB, some times it does not move at all just fires the bb and I have to rack the slide, I would normally just send it back to the shop but it came from HK so a long way to send it back.

Field Strip it, Give it a lube up.

Re: APS ACP issues

Make sure the slide moves freely without snagging. Like Howz said, strip and lube with 100% silicone oil. Not too much though! There's pistol lubing videos on YouTube that will help.

Re: APS ACP issues

I had the same issue when I bought mine on the recoil spring
guide there are two recoil springs a normal recoil spring then at the end theres a shorter stiffer buffer spring taken out the recoil spring guide Remove both the springs and install a standard marui,we compatible spring and refit the recoil spring guide mine now cycles to last bb unless the gas pressure is low but that's only a shot or two before it runs dry
