Mos Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Hi all when I was installing the maple leaf bucking into the AA unit one of the stoppers (2 of them, at the rear of the AA unit) sprinted off, so I reinstalled it, but I think I've done that wrong. because now, when I try to pull the bolt back, and then put it back into its starting place I can't. The cylinder won't go far enough. I believe this is because the stoppers are too far screwed in? Need help! Thank you in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mos Posted April 2, 2017 Author Share Posted April 2, 2017 Now I've fixed the problem, I had to unscrew the stoppers a bit. But we didn't unscrew them right to the top of the threads, like seen out of the box - I reckon the manufacturer has them to loose, which is why they sprung out like a jack in a box. So we fixed that, and could now fit the mechanism into its stock; hurrah! But wait, we needed to fire it, and so we did. The bb at first didn't actually come out down the barrel, and we heard little noise. So we thought we'd bring the hop arm up, because at installation, it was on full hop. So we reckoned that was stopping the BB actually making it to the barrel, which would also block the CO2 coming out the end of the barrel. So we brought the hop arm up a bit, and now fires perfectly, is this a common problem? Where it won't fire because there is too much hop (hop arm actually stops the BB) Stressful, but rewarding.

Guest PT247 Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 If you have too much hop on any gun it can jam, just have enough hop applied to lift the weight of BB you intend you use in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, this was the problem. We had the hop on full because to get the hop arm to lock down you have to tighten that screw. On fire, it jammed. But all it took was less hop, and now fires perfectly.

But we just simply unscrewed the screw, which meant the spring was less compressed and didn't block the nozzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I have had to replace my stoppers as they wore out ... probably due to the long springs etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
