so i have a few P38s.. I pulled the RC CYQ out to play a few months back. it shot fine but got stuck in the back postion. i racked the slide a little and it was fine. I got home and looked at it again. i pulled the slide back and it jammed wiggled some but would not close. After pulling and pushing on it i tapped with a rubber hammer. it started to move . then i hit with rubber hammer.. now it's not moving barrels floating still but the back end might as well be welded. I put it away. and think for a while. maybe the catch on the side came out and is wedged. it looks like it might be.
I have an idea. let's pull out the matching non RC non import cyq and double check how the catch lines up on the side just to make sure i am looking at it right. I rack the slide and it IMMEDIATELY jams like the other one! WTF??? ok you tube, nothing... not gonna hit it with a hammer. Time for reinforcements.
first 2 pics are the RC. grips are off and magazine will release and come out, catch isnt needed at this puppy is stuck.
next 2 pics are the non import...grips on, catch can be manually set to hold it back. magazine will not come out and when you attempt to , the catch doesnt hold and the slide moves forward.
last pic is the non import with the grip off on one side. other side is stuck. i could have worked it but i haven't been batting well on this so i stepped back for any advice out there
SO short of go to a gunsmith, or give it to one of you guys cause they are both shitty pieces of crap... , i am looking for any helpful comments and next steps.
