MP5 stuck in full auto

Howdy

My TM MP5SD5 is well used and was upgraded by the previous owner with tight bore, PDI 150% spring, and various metal body parts.


When the gun is in semi auto it continues to cycle acting like full auto. Occasionally it will only cycle 2 or 3 times and then stop, but for the most part it will empty the entire magazine.

When the gun is dry fired it works flawlessly. It only cycles once with 1 pull of the trigger. When the gun is not loaded and dry fired it has never cycled more than once. But when it is loaded it just keeps firing.

I had the gun torn down to inspect for worn or broken parts. The selector plate is slightly worn but the selector switch seems to operate it without a problem I don’t believe that the selector plate is the problem. I did not open up the mechbox at all so I’m not sure the condition of the internals.

Other than this problem the gun fires flawlessly

Any comments or direction will be greatly appreciated thank you in advance for your time and help.
