Utty Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Though, the selector switch is a bit loose, how do i tighten it? If the selector is still attached like the normal AEG, you just tighten the bolt holding the selector with some pliers. And some cloth or something to protect the bolt from scratches (personally I don't bother/care). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RedScare Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Problem MK II. The gun is now shooting auto in the 'Safety' position. Can anyone help? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Utty Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Does the selector seem less smooth now? Â If you tightened the selector bolt too much, you might have caused the selector half-gears to skip some teeth and cause badness. Happened to one of my Kalash AKs. Â That, or the safety has somehow borked. Since the gun shifts from safe directly to full auto, a broken safety would cause full auto even with the safety on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PlasticMag Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Utty - the selector mech isn't the same as an AEG. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RUSHER2 Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 I was getting towards i heard that but being that this is something new on the market, i wanted to go over it head to toe in case some changes had been made. Soon i will run out of external parts to ramble about though and it will be time for the real fun stuff, like what happens after you let the first snow fall cover your mag and then you try and shoot it  Can anyone confirm my hunch about the serial numbers?    I dont think they have different serial numbers...my dad owns one hes had it for about 2 weeks know and his serial number is 051121 on the reciever.

aznriptide859 Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Just curious any of you guys have some double feeding issues? I just watched a firing vid and it seems the gun double feeds like crazy 0_0. Â http://www.airsoft-soldier.com/videos/psg-aksu-gbb/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zeaken Posted December 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 I do get double feeding once and a while. It only happens when in full auto. It seems to happen when the gun is low on gas more then not. I rarely have more then one double feed per mag when shooting in full auto. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RedScare Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 the selector switch on mine broke, but I emailed ra-tech and they can replace the part for about 25. which isnt too bad, lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zeaken Posted December 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Mine just encountered its first problem  The piston has sheared in half. In watching the motions carefully i think it was caused by bad design more then bad product. The trigger is reset by the bolt moving back but as the trigger locks back it pops up right after it locks down. When its popping up i suspect (i dont have a slow motion camera and a clear receiver to prove it) its striking the bottom of the piston as the piston is perfectly exposed for that to happen. When to mix that knocking and gas so cold it can spew out still in liquid form right onto piston which is made of plastic...well i am not surprised this happened.   I have emailed ra tech to see if they can do anything about it     Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RedScare Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 oh wow, that sucks... Â Do you use full auto a lot? Â Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zeaken Posted December 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 i did a moderate amount but did no mag dumping except to test to see if it could Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zeaken Posted December 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Ra-tech sent me an email back already they are shipping me a replacement part for $10 which I suspect does little more then pay for shipping on the other end. Â Looking to avoid a repeat of the situation via plastic failure I am looking for anyone with machining skills to build a replacement part out of metal. If you have metal skills and are willing to take on the task let me know and we can talk price for it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RedScare Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 (edited) My mom is an CPA and does some taxes for a machinist. I can ask if he can do it(maybe for a discount ), but would I need a CAD or something? Â I would like to just fix any flaws right now...

zeaken Posted December 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Well the easiest way is to have a complete part sent to them. I have a spare coming in for just that purpose so anyone who takes this on doesnt have to fight with some one elses shoddy measurements  Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pedro041484 Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 any update guys? i'm planning to buy one this week Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RedScare Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 i fixed the selector plate and its pretty awesome, though there are some flaws, like the one zeaken encountered. Â The guy on gasgun.info forum hasnt had a problem with his yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
snorkelman Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 biggest issue I can see with these is potential weakness of the bolt - the blow back cylinder cast into it has three prongs to keep the piston centred at extreme of its expansion. Trouble is the prongs are tiny and the material being pot metal means they're fragile. If one of the lower two snaps off then at full stroke the piston can drop out of alignment with the chamber, at which point the return spring will try to drive the bolt forward and the whole lot will lock up  other than that gas consumption might be quite costly. The gas reservoir is in the form of two tubes inside the mag and either one of these alone cant be far off the volume of a KWC Uzi mag's gas reservoir. How many rounds are folks getting off of a single fill? eg is it a mags worth or is there gas to spare for a second fill of BBs?    Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chris u'5 Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 This must be a sign! I was searching for info about this last night and could find next to no info here on Arnies, Im really tempted by this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RedScare Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 (edited) iirc, i was getting 80~ rounds on one charge  edit: heck, I could load a whole magazine, hold down the trigger until the mag is depleted of ammo, and shoot of a couple more rounds.
