Hello everyone, I have a curious topic for whoever might be interested to help me, here is a bit of context:
Quick and simple, my laylax hop arm was getting stuck, I could increase hop, but it wouldn't decrease, the arm would be stuck in whatever highest position it was left.
Here is the kicker, I disassembled everything, and put back the barrel, tested the movement everything looked good, as soon as I thighed the barrel nut, the hop arm would get stuck again; well I though maybe is the laylax hop arm, so I tried the Wii arm, same problem...
Well turns out that it is the barrel? I have a z parts steel outer barrel, I switched it with the original barrel and everything is working good, but the zparts barrel seems to be locking my hop arms as soon as I tighten the barrel nut 😕
Further note:
Also, the hop arm still moves, it just doesn't drop freely, you have to manually push it down & up.
It also doesn't appear to be applying force against the sides of the receiver (which might have been preventing it from moving down), I put some cardboard on the sides (of the hop arm) while tighting and then removed the cardboard and the problem still persists.
I also don't think I am over tighing the barrel nut since I am doing it by hand, and I am just applying enough force to be sure that the barrel is not going to move or fall. I have noticed that if I slowly thigh the barrel nut, the capacity for the hop arm to move down by itself is reduced bit by bit.
The hop up adjuster is also not influencing since I removed it for testing.
Any ideias on why this might be happening? Is there a fix?
