E&L AKS 74 hop questions

[Sitting Duck]

well the hop unit might not be fixed correctly and is sitting a little forward

I dunno coz ain't got one but think they are the "other" non TM type of AK

but should use the bog standard AK hop units

here is a comparison of LCT & E&L AK's and they have different but compatible hops

it might be that the hop unit itself is the issue - soz yet more crap to check

but it may be sitting too far away from gearbox/nozzle due to an unknown issue ???

some weird issue why nozzle is not pushing the bb fully foward and sealing against bucking

I would do some googling on E&L reviews/teardowns or asking some clever mofo who has E&L

make close comparisons with your E&L - coz something ain't right for nozzle to be 3 or 4mm short

bloody weird one this

Ok... Issue 2 solved. Turns out the hop rubber has warped and a such blocked the nozzle or something. So now it at least fires...

Issue 3...

It fires like a limp d***... Going maybe 2 feet. Battery is charged. Springs feel pretty powerful. I am charging my battery, and I'll see if that makes a difference, but until then...

I wouldn't hold ya breath too much....

Deffo sounds like compression or seal issue still....

Even if gun cycled at 1 shot per second

It would still fire at 350fps when piston releases

Great...

Don't give up just yet....

It is some stupidly odd why hop/nozzle not sealing

Look out for a complete tear down of ya gun bit by bit...

make ultra close comparison's

All of a sudden you will see something out of whack, ar$e about face, worn/broke, incorrect part or fitting....

WTF - 5 min fix and all lovely again.

If all else fails then it might have to go to a shop but wtf. At least you have had a go or two at it

(FFS - soz for ultra jumbo font, posted this on me fone and all hell broke loose and just couldn't change it)
