Ok, I've had these problems for over a year, and had the gun looked at already by my local GBB guy ( Throgg ). He wasn't able to get anywhere, so I'm asking for either:

1) Someone who is really good with WA .45s to volunteer to fix it for me. I'll pay for your time and any parts needed, I just want to make this GBB work well.

2) Possible things I can do myself. I have only ever taken apart one GBB, and it scared the hell out of me! Too many tiny parts, tight spaces, etc, but I'm willing to try if no one will fix it for me. I'm not incompetent, just a total noob when it comes to the inside of a GBB.

So here's the problem. Quite often, and unpredictably, the pistol starts firing a bb, and the slide works, but not rechambering another bb. The next time I pull the trigger, nothing comes out the barrel, but the slide works again, this time somehow picking up a bb and chambering it. Next shot, bb fires, no reload, etc. etc.

Sometimes, it seems as if the problem is related to high temperature. It seems to get worse when it's hot, with the first shot making a "popping" sound and coming out at low fps, and the second one sounding normal, but still only one bb every two trigger pulls.

I can't use a secondary that's not reliable, and if I can't get this working I think I'm going to give up on WAs and get a TM. I REALLY prefer the feel of the WAs, they are beautiful things, but most of all I need it to work reliably and well, and more and more that sounds like it means getting a TM. So to those WA lovers out there, help me! It's my last chance to be saved.

Thanks for reading, and thanks in advance for any help...
