elrasho Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 When racking my P226 the nozzle gets stuck in the hop chamberThen when I return the slide the nozzle gets stuck on the BBWhen I go to fire the BB just rolls out of the gun
Supporters SeniorSpaz87 Posted February 11, 2015 Supporters Posted February 11, 2015 I am almost positive I know your issue. First, can you remove the slide, and remove the barrel from the slide. Then, post a pic of the piece that is screwed into the slide, that the gas vents into during firing. If s what I think it is, i will be able to tell from that.
TheGrover Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Take a photo of the underside of the nozzle, is the loading nub in place?

Supporters SeniorSpaz87 Posted February 11, 2015 Supporters Posted February 11, 2015 hmm... the nozzle actually looks OK... That was the issue with my g17; a broken nozzle that cause the bb to catch like yours... but i guess not
elrasho Posted February 11, 2015 Author Posted February 11, 2015 I think the hop rubber has widened, it comes off way too easily
BrightCandle Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 After replacing the hop are you saying that now the nozzle never comes out of the hop unit or it only does it when the slide is racked all the way back? Because its normal for the nozzle to be stuck in there for a reasonable amount of time, so long as it exits as the rack gets to the back its not a problem, indeed holding onto the barrel until the BB has left is better for accuracy. Like I said before, the hop rubber is what keeps the BB in the barrel on these guns so the BB rolling out is related to that, either the rubber is misaligned or its damaged. Either way getting the hop unit apart and working that out is what you need to do to fix that problem.
TheGrover Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Its worth mentioning that neither of my gbb guns held the bb in the barrel when i draw the bolt/slide, and each shoots perfectly. My p228 will drop the bb, so i just point it down as i rack the slide, keeping the bb in place. Does that work in your pistol and will it cycle correctly? In my G5, the stock hop rubber would hold onto the bb, but wouldnt lift a 0.25, and when i swapped the bucking and nub to fix the hop performance, the bbs now roll into the mag well when i draw the bolt. I just thought that was the design? Allowing you to easily clear the chamber without fishing for a cleaning rod.
elrasho Posted February 17, 2015 Author Posted February 17, 2015 Got the WE USA Hop unit and barrell todays and ta da it works! Getting 315fps and the BBs dont fall out anymore. I think the issue was with the old hop rubber, it had lost its shape after I took it all apart to clean. Note to self never take the hop unit apart lol
Supporters SeniorSpaz87 Posted February 18, 2015 Supporters Posted February 18, 2015 Yep, take everything apart bar that. Glad to see it's working for you now.
