Re-Setting M203 Shells

[Victory]

Hey guys,

 

I recently bought this:

 

 

King Arms 78-Round Shell Info.

 

Before I use it, I want to know how I'm supposed to re-set it.

 

So, could you help a '203 n00b out?

 

Thanks,

 

-Vic

 

And, yes, I searched.

With mine I unscrew then slightly (not too much or else you'll release the bearings inside) and the valve clicks back into place.

Another thing is to stick something like a paperclip up inside the whole in the trigger button.

 

If you do ever end up releasing the bearings, best thing is to use some silicon grease in the holes they come out from.

That will hold the bearings in place so you can put it back together

Or take Inferno's advice to put the bearings back in

or sell it as soon as you get it, or cancel the order, and buy a MadBull grenade.

 

to reset these you just push the firing pin back in with whatever you have to hand.

Don't you need to push them in totally straight? I forked out for the mosquito molds reloading tool for that very purpose [is stupid] I guess I got conned ???

 

Pushing the button straight in with anything except this tool has never worked for me, I have to use the tool to get it totally straight. They just never reset otherwise ...

 

The tool thing itself is just a cylindrical pokey with a dimple in the centre to fit in the hole in the middle of the resetting button - the dimple secures the button centrally and ensures the button mechanism is pushed evenly and in a perfectly straight and central line into the shell - I was under the impression this was of paramount importance???

it is impossible to mess up re-setting a madbull grenade.

 

i watched my brother reset it with a rotten stick in the field once.

I always try to tell people to go madbull, but there are still these floating around, so the knowledge in their operation should still be shared. Some of these newer ones that came out post-madbull are a little better, but if it's an old one look out. FYI, madbulls use bearings too, they just engineered their valves and o-rings better so you may never have to see them!

Unfortuantely gravity tends to make the bearings roll out from the valve, unless you hold it perfectly horizontal.

Silicon grease overcomes this.
