TRMR Multi-Shot Base rearm problem

[warlord]

I recently bought a second hand TRMR and then decided to upgrade it to the multi-shot base. After fitting the base and firing the first 209 primer I then found it impossible to rearm by turning the dial to the next primer.

 

Turns out his is a known issue. So thought I'd post it here for others to find.

 

This is the response I received from Phillip at JD Airsoft.

The issue is not the base. The issue is one of two things.

 

1. The TRMR is an older version which has a different inner base which allows the primer to balloons due to the slight space inside.
2. You are using higher powered primers. We found that the old Cheddite and WInchester are slightly higher powered than the new Fiocchi we are stocking.

 

This issue we are aware of and is duly noted on the instruction manual here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7732657/guides/Multi%20Shot%20Base%20manual.pdf

 

It is not a product failure. If you need any further enquiries please don't hesitate to ask.

 

Phillip.

thanks for this. I've been having this problem recently and actually do use Cheddite primers

 

I too just unscrewed the base slightly in order to turn to the next primer but now i know what the cause is

I've found this sometimes but I fix it by shaking and holding vertically for gravity assitance, occasionally unscrewing is necessary.
