Guay Guay have added an update for UMG owners that’s not going to please dealers nor owners. There’s a small ‘bug’ in the tappet plate apparently which means that they are sending out new tappet plates. A similar update went out for a ‘bug’ in their M14, however the complaint from dealers concerned the added work that they had to undertake to fix the issue, and from the customers because the dealers didn’t have enough parts sent out to them (or none at all in some cases):
Due to the recently discovered smaller ‘bug’ in the tappet plate of the UMG released last month August 2005, we have decided to help our customers further. Not just by deliverering FREE ‘upgraded’ tappet plates to our distributors but also by including the new tappet plate together with the High cap magazines.
To a customer this means that when you buy a High Cap magazine you will also receive the NEW and upgraded tappet plate for FREE The new tappet plate is blue so you will know it is the new one. The old one is black. We will do this with the first 1000 magazines You can, of course, like always, contact one of our distributors and get a new tappet plate through them, without having to buy a High Cap magazine.
If you are unable to change the tappet plate by yourself we advice you to go back where you bought the UMG and ask them to change it for you. G&G Service Department, (Guay Guay)
