Utty Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 So a dude I know converted a Tanaka 98K magazine to take external CO2, but now the gunzer won't fire most of the time, both with the converted magazine and a stock one. What could be the problem? Worn hammer? Something? Link to post Share on other sites
Jungle_Spectre Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Tanaka Kar-98K won't fire WOHOOO! Sorry, but after having my goggles broken by one of those last saturday this was my first thought... Now seriously, is the hop-up chamber OK? I hear thet it is a weak spot of karabiners.

teflon don Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 can you be more specific does it make a clicking sound can you hear gas escaping Link to post Share on other sites
Utty Posted October 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 Damn J_S, you need better goggles, for your own safety. Broken hop-up? I dunno if that could be the cause, doesn't seem likely. I can't be more specific at this time, as I don't have the gun, but the way I under stand it, the gun just "clicks" as if the hammer fails to depress the flow valve. If someone had experienced something similar or had some idea what might be causing the problem, and can explain how to fix it, then I might attempt to fix it for the dude, who is otherwise pretty lost right now.

counterassasin Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 I'd check how much PSI he's using. It could be that the pressure is so high, that the gun struggles to open the magazine valve properly. Link to post Share on other sites

Utty Posted October 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 It was "only" 200 psi with the C02 magazine. My own guess it's something going on with the hammer. Any pointers on how to disassemble this mechanism, or is it pretty self-evident how to do it? I have of course tried searching for technical guides on this gun, but with surprisingly few results (none), considering the popularity of this model. Link to post Share on other sites
sadigh Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 Woah, 200 psi?! You do know that green gas is roughy 100 psi, right? Did he fire off some shots at that pressure? If so, chances are he has killed a conponent or two in the proccess. I'd take a good look at the trigger group, it sounds as though something is broken/misalliged there. Any chance of some photos?

Utty Posted October 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Yep. Yep. Yep. No dice. I don't have the gun, so all I can do is gather 98K users' suggestions of possible solutions, and how to go about doing it. Link to post Share on other sites
Roskov Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 When i tried my Tanaka at about 150 PSI it hardly knocked open the valve, so i had to install a stronger hammerspring. look into the magwell and dryfire it and watch if the hammer "pops out" at all, could be it became a "little short" after hitting the mag with 200psi Link to post Share on other sites
