sutty7100 Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Hi guys my son's spare rifle is playing up, the BBS don't feed on semi and intermittently on full auto. It's not the mag as it fed fine before and still works in our other rifles. I stripped it down after it started playing up but nothing stood out as at fault, when reassembled it worked for a few shots then started playing up again. Suggestions would be appreciated I was thinking it could be the tappet plate but that's only a guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sutty7100 Posted September 6, 2016 Author Share Posted September 6, 2016 About 18 month's old, hopefully is that as it'll be an easy fix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters jcheeseright Posted September 7, 2016 Supporters Share Posted September 7, 2016 18 months of regular use is enough to wear a tappet plate down, open it up and have a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sutty7100 Posted September 7, 2016 Author Share Posted September 7, 2016 Thanks I'll probably just order a new one and replace it seeing as they aren't expensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters jcheeseright Posted September 8, 2016 Supporters Share Posted September 8, 2016 Don't order anything yet, what if it's not the tappet plate? Strip it first, find the faulty part and replace that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benneh Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 What exactly are the symptoms you're getting with it though? Sporadic firing? Non-consistent or complete lack of grouping? Dry firing? I stripped my CM16 down after one day of relatively hard abuse and had to tighten a few things as it had developed a bit of a wobble. Get some pictures up too, might help?

karl_liverpool Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Had a very similar problem with my g3. Turned out to be the air nozzle had slipped out of the seat in the fork so wasn't being pulled back correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
