Albiscuit Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Righto, my infamous Combat Machine was and is working fine (for a flipping change) Used it yesterday to great effect, however! Today whilst cleaning and packing away my gear I noticed there is a silver bar above the outer barrel in the handrail which seems to have come loose or broken off. It looks like it is attacked to the front sight and supposed to connect to the main body but is loose/snapped near where I would assume it was supposed to connect to the body. A - What is it for? I am assuming its to strengthen the front end B - Is this majorly important, the gun fires fine but this bar does rattle a little C - Would this be a fairly easy fix? It looks like I should be able to take apart the front end and chuck a new one in. a little help on the above points would be great. I will likely take it apart soon but am a lazy sod so wouldnt hold my breath if its good to use I may leave it another game or two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Sitting Duck Posted April 10, 2017 Supporters Share Posted April 10, 2017 Sounds like a fake gas tube think you will be ok as we don't fire real ammo pic might help but think Raider's and some others have these but not all models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Sitting Duck Posted April 10, 2017 Supporters Share Posted April 10, 2017 yup - fake gas tube it will live and ammo will still load ok bit of glue/epoxy if she don't push back into place and stay there it's fine - if it rattles a lot you can make out it its a blowback going clackety clack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
