The 'What have you just broken' Thread

It's completely useless anyway, lol.

True, still want it back though

You can replace the spring easily, or if you wanted, you could replace the charging handle

True, i looked in the box and there was a sheet with all the part numbers. I may be able to get a replacement

Try saying Hoor in a thick Dublin accent!

Being from Glasgow I just assumed you meant an woman from a house of ill repute Besides that a pretty standard insult back home lol!

my src sr4 r.i.s, was shooting it happily and everthing was functioning well then it just simpily wouldnt function , i left it to the site i bought the gun off and they said it would most likely be just a fuse or a loose connection. the site rang me back a few days ago to tell me the full firing mechinism was broke. having the gun for about 4 mounths now my dad asked if the warrenty covers it but the guy said no , he says it's had a few-to-many knocks. this was the bad thing cause im always careful with my gun (well i thought i was) and ive only used it about 6 times now and have never ever dropped it. gonna get it fixed but the site owner said it will be about 60ish for parts and 20ish for labour

I think they're ripping you off, you could get an entire new gearbox for less than that.

Get it back off them and send it somewhere else. Patrol Base will sort it for way less than that I'd have thought.

Yea name and shame the poxy Shop aswell!

Would have thought the Fair use of good's act could be used to persuade them to fix it under warranty aswell!

You are really getting ripped off. Replacing the trigger assembly on a V2 is a bit of a pain(Well,for me at least,I bloody hate V2s) and rather cheap. It should cost about 20 quid for the parts and 10 for labor. It took me less than half an hour to install a new trigger system into a V3.

As Ed said,you can buy a decent gearbox for 80£.

Find a better shop.

This weekend my ICS AKS-74U went into terminal decline. Last night it stopped firing on semi-auto: safe or full auto only. I took the selector lever off, oiled inside and also above the selector gears so it would run down onto them and gave it a good wiggle. Reattached lever taking care that it was done up tightly - no change. Today it started to sound like the battery was dead, but it was freshly charged, and then it wouldn't quite fire. When I took my finger off the trigger it fired - did this a few times. I'm guessing something around the switch and/or tappet plate, but any suggestions would be gratefully considered.

My main trouble is that, although the gucci penetrating oil I bought for the job did free up the front end enough to move a fraction of a millimetre, I still can't actually get the damn thing apart!!! :angry:

Broke my friend's USP mag release whilst trying to repair his gun feeding problem... so now he has to use bluetack and have his hand under it. He's cool with it.

For those of you who don't believe me, this is his gun

My marui scar-l stock catch, slipped down a muddy hill last weekend and snapped it. 4 months for a replacement from Japan... Should have bought a G&G!

Pleas tell me where you got it from and how much as mine has been broken for ages so cant fold the stock. dont mind the wait as long as i can get one!

 

[jcheeseright]

Fire-support.co.uk matey, I've ordered 3 because I know I'll only break it again!

I imagine if you give them a ring/fire them an email they'll be able to add a couple to their order.

 

[M_P]

I'm on the same list for a replacement mag release

 

[Unrustle_Thine_Jimmies]

Broke my VSR mag feeder thing again and now it no longer pops up into the hop chamber. Broke it so hard I fixed it!

 

[sp00n]

no broken per say, but i have ordered and recieved a clone/copy of a doctor sight off ebay, and a acog mount from ant supplies for it.

The acog mount wount fit my acog for 2 reasons, firstly i have a epic acog'alike with a illuminated recticle, and the wheel to change colour/brightness is in the way, and secondly, its too wide 50mm versus the 40mm normal .... abit like me :lol: .

just to add insult to injury the doctor'alike sight wont fit on the acog mount due to a small switch that extends into the ris mount .... however the hole centres look spot on

Tried to replace the dodgy nozzle in my Masada, ended up breaking the new nozzle so now I have to go back to using the old one until I get another new one!

*sigh*

(Note to self: just buy a gun with half decent internals next time)...

 

[Ian_Gere]

I've not had much luck with air nozzles. None of them have broken yet, but when I first tried to replace one which had developed a tiny crack, it took 3 attempts to find one which did actually fit properly. The one I bought recently for my G36 doesn't fit either... and what is it with those ones which come with the little O-rings loose? I haven't yet discovered how to make them fit anywhere except in my bits box

 

[sp00n]

went to strip my mp5k down for a new air nozzel/piston etc etc .... found one of the bush bearing had collapsed ... bearings lasted less than a month! :angry: :angry:

i now have a wait till the new bushings turn up

 

[jcheeseright]

Had my second cheapo china t1 replica die yesterday. No more £35 china shipping dogshit for me, just ordered a replacement dytac one.
