1911 Nozzle Sticking Problem

[Brian94]

Hey guys, recently got into airsoft so I got myself a cheap 1911 TM clone from a friend, I believe its a Tercel based on what it says on the box.

My problem started after the first time I lubed up the gun. Ever since, the loading nozzle sticks to the hop up chamber of the gun when I rack the slide. But it still fires without a problem. Is it due to the swelling of my hop bucking? I might have sprayed lube directly on it.

When you cock it back the nozzle sticks than releases?

I'm pretty sure that is normal, well at least on my rifle and TM Glock

Yeah, but it didn't use to do that. Also, it does take some force to nudge the nozzle back. I just worry that it'll damage other internal bits.

so its doing this?


is it running stock parts inside? i suggest you strip it down look at the blow back unit
but methinks you are over reacting

Says TM in the picture...

Also it's normal for nozzles to stick a little. That's what the nozzle return springs are for.

Yeah its like that, oh so its normal? Yes all stock parts but im thinking of getting a new bucking. Hopefully it'll make it stick less? hahah

Its a Chinese TM clone, i guess copyright is not in their dictionary heheh. But the problem was that it didnt stick up until I lubed it up for the 1st time

[Styrak]

I don't think those 2 are related.

Here is a sure way to determine, does it feel like plastic

I have seen on Youtube of airsofters that have Chinese clones of the the TM 1911. Some the the clones still have the TM markings located on the frame. I guess, they (Chinese companies) don't care about the casting process to remove the trademarks.

Lol love the TM trades.
Many gas guns do this. My we glock, my kjw m9 and my we 416 all have "sticky nozzle syndrome" as long as it's not sticking to the point it doesn't feed you are good. If you rack the slide quickly you will see that it works.
