[e-luder]

so. I've recently received a 4.3 from the classifieds.

I've got to working on it today. And found a problem I can't solve.
THe gun came with a Guarder Springfield metal slide and causing all kinds of issues with the cycle of the gun. I since have switched to the stock plastic one for the time being so I can use it.

The barrel is somehow getting jammed on the slide's return and keeps the slide "open". I've sanded the corners of the lugs on both the barrel and slide and still get the same result. I have to push the outerbarrel towards the BBU to get it to "unstuck"...
I've tried both a metal and stock barrel but still no improvement.

Both barrels work fine on the stock slide so I surmize that the slide is the issue that needs to be modded somehow. I just don't which part to mod...

Any thoughts on a fix?

I thought about replacing the slide as whole but i thought I might give this Guarder one last go before I make up my mind...
