It's not a mainspring strength issue. If the valve strike face is too high, it will push the valve knocker *up* when you insert the magazine, and when you rack the slide / cock the hammer, a high strike face will not give the valve knocker enough clearance to drop down in to firing position.

Thanks for the reply!
Actually, the thicker shimmed worked with the stock marui valve knocker...but when I switched back to the ProG4 one, the valve never opened.
I guess its because my stock valve knocker wore down just enough to hit the km valve with the thick shim? I did see a bit of wear (but it was really little) on the stock knocker...though putting the ProG4 knocker side by side with it didn't seem to show any dimensional differences. I've switched back to the steel proG4 knocker since I saw the bit of wear on my marui one and I don't want that piece to wear down completely.
