KWA 1911 'Sticky slide'

Strelok · July 27th, 2008, 20:33

Alright, Got a KWA 1911 not too long ago, already having problems with it

. The slide seems to be 'sticking' around 4/5ths of the blowback cycle. it wont press forward the last inch or so to feed the bb without the help of my thumb. This is on a full charge of Propane gas.

Thanks

White lithium grease (no petrolium additives) on the slide rails.

i had the same issue "sticky slide" on my glock 17... you just need to oil your gun thats all.

grab some 100% silicon oil and apply to these areas:

Yes.

If you use silicon oil, you need to use one of the heavier weights. The lighter stuff gets everywhere and doesn't actually lubrication metal-on-metal contact.
