AnakChan Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 First I'd say check your battery. If that's fully charged and ok, then I'd say check both your recoil spring, recoil weight, power spring, & piston alignment alignment. If that's ok then check your selector plate position. For me though if I get that 95% is the battery. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akiraspeedstar Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 Look what Echigoya has in store for us! SWWEEEETTT!! haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zaimon Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 wow! the ARS creation is almost complete. where did you get that pics? i guess anakchan will get that first for sure. go go anakchan get it and show us here in arnies Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akiraspeedstar Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 Wait sorry, by in store I meant planned for the near future, anyways got it off of their blog. Can't wait for it to be released, definitely will be ordering one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zaimon Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 ill be going to get the CNC lower receiver also. i have a feeling that it will be expensive just like their CNC buffer tube. but no regret. my sopmod fell bad in the floor from the table and it didnt break. if it was a TM stock tube i think it will turn into pieces lol.

druid799 Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 Question, when firing in single shot I tend to get these "jams" quite frequently lately (occured aswell in the past but now it's really frequently): I hear a "click" whenever I pull the trigger but nothing happens, I have to switch to full auto to make it fire again and than switch back to semi. Plus 1 on the faults probably caused by the battery (had the same problem ) , what Batt you running in it ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akiraspeedstar Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 I'd also agree on a possible battery issue, I had a similar issue once, turned out my battery was just dying, popped in a new one and it worked like a charm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kunlun Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 Using a 7.4V 1600mAh 15C lipo, got two of em and same problem with both of them. They are about 1y old and I always used balanced charging ... Ordered a new 7.4 1300 mAh 20C to doublecheck ... If only I had a battery tester somewhere Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hehehe, but you're right that I'd probably will despite the costs. Afterall I have already had to replace the stock lower receiver & buffer tube once due to cr@ppy pot metal. However, the other reason this CNC is 'cos the new Echigoya recoil (not the SURUS that's on sale now but the variant which I put the video up on) kicks like crazy and will need the CNC buffer tube/lower receiver at least for durability.

Hopefully changing to a 20c will solve it for you . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully changing to a 20c will solve it for you . Looks like it were my batteries after all! I used a 9.6V 3000mAh NiMh battery from a friend and I had insane trigger response! I enjoyed it a LOT and made plenty kills! I am so in love with this gun! <3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akiraspeedstar Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 Glad to see everything worked out for you Just an fyi for everyone who's been considering it, got my freedom art locking pivot pin and first factory locking trigger pin in this morning. Both of them fit really well and don't look as hideous as I was expecting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TK4235 Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 Akira, they sure look good... A question, what mags are you using? That almost looks like a PMag??? And it's EBB compliant? Kunlun glad you got your problem sorted... Yup this gun does rock Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akiraspeedstar Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 Don't get your hopes up haha, its a real steel mag that i was modifying to fit our mags internal into. I gave up, though it fits in nice for picture taking. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AnakChan Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 are they ever going to sell that variant? Yes after they've gotten the patent. However I think releasing it soon would probably be mistake too since the SURUS was just released. To then sell the varient with an even bigger kick would make the SURUS obsolete quick.

akiraspeedstar Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 Finally got to chrono my gun, consistent 398-399 fps shots with .20 MODS: Prometheus 6.03 barrel Prometheus piston head Prometheus cylinder Prometheus air nozzle Prometheus spring guide Lonex cylinder head Eagle6 m110 spring Eagle6 recoil spring I'm very happy with my results, as a lot of fields have a 400fps limit. Most of those fields will only allow a 1-5fps window. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TK4235 Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 Akira, wow that's superb! I wish I could get a consistent fps on my gun. May I ask, when you did the compression test with the air nozzle attached to the lonex cylinder head did you still get good compression or did air leak out? My m100 is still doing between 325 to 340 and it's not very consistent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akiraspeedstar Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 (edited) Compression was good when I tested it Dammit, I don't know what I'm doing wrong, bolt catch ain't working again, guess I gotta take it apart again. It almost looks like the gear box is angled upwards at the front, causing the mag lever to not contact the bolt catch.

Kunlun Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 To be frankly honest, my bolt catch never worked properly again after I opened her up for some upgrades. I have the problem in single shot as it seems to work in full auto ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zaimon Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 i think your cut off lever is shreded and it wont catch the cut-off cam properly. you need a new cut-off lever in order to the semi auto again, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Akira, if the gearbox looks as though it's angled up at the front this implies that the stock buffer tube has not screwed onto the receiver properly. The stock tube when screwed into the receiver holds the gearbox firmly. A similar thing happened to mine until I realised what the problem was. Hope that makes sense?

I have the problem in single shot as it seems to work in full auto ... Here's something which I can't get my head around.. On my unopened SOCOM if you look at the bolt catch assembly by looking into the magwell, you can easily push and pull down the bolt catch mechanism (the silver bit that screws into the gearbox) without any hinderence. However, on the SOPMOD the bolt catch does not have the same free play. The reason I think is that the tappet plate is pushed forward by the tappet spring and this seems to interferewith the bolt mechanism. Having said that, the bolt catch still works, no matter how many times i've taken the gearbox apart.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
