Hi mate,

before your brought your greasegun did you do any research. Cos it is one of the most problamatic WW2 Guns. But anyway i will tell you how i made mine "better".

In this particular instance it seems that it could be one of a few things:

Have you taken the mag apart if you have they are very picky on how they go back together. The back pressure plate (where if you was to press with your finger gas would be released) can become sticky. Lube this first, and retry after spraying with much silicone.

Do you sometimes put your mag in cock and nothing happens? Then the pin which presses into the mag is just slightly to long. (i think this is called the sear but maybe wrong) so try filing it down slightly. I had horrendous trouble with mine for quite a while. It would only work after slamming the mags in a few times. As the pin which hits the back of the magazine to release the gas was bent at an angle because of its length

Let me know how you get on.
