Ares L1A1, micro switches, selector plates and more.

[James Flynn]

Hey guys.

So I own the L1A1 made by Ares. The other week it stopped functioning so i decided to look for a place to get it repaired, I looked everywhere and I eventually decided to open it up myself, I found the cause of the problem and it is to do with the fire selector not pushing the selector plate on the gearbox back far enough for the trigger mechanism to engage the micro switch. You can tell when the micro switch is not being clicked properly as there is a really loud clicking noise and the gun does not function

 

If anyone owns this gun and has had this problem or similar, or if anyone knows how to take the fire selector off the help would be much appreciated.
