TM MK23 feeding issue

[R.I.T.Z]

agreed new bb's

swab the feed ramp and mags, along with anything else that may come in contact with he BB's. take out the hop up rubber wash it in warm soapy water then rinse and replace. try all hop up adjustments. full on non one etc...

and switch to duster. (this will increase the longevity of the mags and gun) the gun is an older TM design and was only meant to take duster not propane

You could replace every part in the gun with brand new parts from the factory in Tokyo, and the gun won't shoot because you're running bad ammunition through it.

1.Take a break.

2.Stop feeding the poor gun crap.

3.Buy / Borrow a new bag of premium bb's.

4.Save yourself a headache.

found a bag of .2s in the corner and retested, same results

Is there gas escaping the barrel when you fire and it's miss-feeding?

As in... is it miss-feeding, or is it not actually releasing gas properly.

[Thenooblord]

yes, there is gas, and if it werent, it would be double feeding after it started firing again no?

When you fire the MK23 slowly is the resistance of the trigger when squeezed the same as it would be as with rapid fire?

[Thenooblord]

yes

[Thenooblord]

OK made a bit of headway in narrowing it down, its not when rapid firing, its just that when i rapid fired, i pulled the trigger faster, if i pull slowly it doesnt feed, but if i pull it suddenly it works
any ideas?

[Thenooblord]

bump

I finally figured it out! theres supposed to be a return spring atop the nozzle but its not there, i didnt know there was supposed to be one till i found a exploded diagram of the gun online
