Hi All,
Just had my 5th game with my L85 and at the beginning, I chronoed on 254fps which I thought was weird but as I'm new to the game I didn't see this as much of an issue as it seems to be firing straight with a decent distance. About 30 min into the game through the gearbox started to make a horrible noise and stopped firing. when tilting the barrel towards the floor bb's when rolling out so I thought it may be a jam (Just like the old days with the real thing
) so I quickly stripped it in the field but no Jam. Luckily there was a Gun tech on sight who has informed me that the plastic teeth of the piston have been ground down and that I will need a replacement 19 tooth piston.
Based on this could anyone recommend me a quality piston that will not let me down quite as quick?
Also, does anyone know how to stop the bolt cover from falling off as this keeps happening and ends up rattling about? I have seen replacements for this on fire-support that come with 5 hooks (Image Below) but I don't see these hooks anywhere in the rifle so I suspect I may be missing them?
Kind Regards
Raynor
