Pewpewpetie Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Hi again, so today I took my ak apart as I usually do once a month for a clean and degrease. Never before have I encountered this problem. This gun now shoots on full auto even when on semi. It shoots lovely and is shimmed well. All aspects of cut off lever seem fine and all linking gears that sit on the outside of gearbox are connected correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Adolf Hamster Posted May 8, 2021 Supporters Share Posted May 8, 2021 once a month seems pretty excessive for maintenance, even by my standards..... you haven't trapped a wire or such against the COL? also, how high a round count are we talking, could be COL has worn out?

No it's all fine, it's almost like the cut off lever isn't working, yet it looks fine. I posted again by mistake with pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceni Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Selector plate is a tooth out on the linkage. Makes the gun go Safe>Auto>Auto@Adolf Hamster I thought you owned a boat load of AK's! Have you never had this happen! The selector probably wants moving 1 tooth backwards. But it might be more than that. When you get it right A dab of paint on the selector and linkage will give you a quick rebuild reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceni Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 If you are 100% that it's not the selector and the little spring is in place. Then it's something you have done to the gearbox. COL damaged or too tight. Damage to the contacts dolly. Edit: The selector wants to go backwards not forwards as I said above... There's a little cutout at the front of the selector that the COL rides in. When the COL drops into that wider part the gun should be in semi.

Even when col is in the gap it's not catching the sector for semi(even with pressure applied) VID_20210509_091342.mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted again by mistake with pics looks like the COL isn't engaging the cam, hard to tell how worn it is from the pic byt it's worth checking that by hand. pull everything bar the COL and the sector gear, rotate by hand and see if it's still moving. normally this is pretty common if the COL is a different brand to the rest of the gearbox, but can also happen with wear.

I'll order another cut off lever and see, to be honest it doesn't look worn at all. This sounds silly but should the trigger pull move the COL. I.e when in semi does the trigger unit itself engage with the COL in anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Adolf Hamster Posted May 12, 2021 Supporters Share Posted May 12, 2021 only other interface left then is to see if the col has enough movement to lift the trolley up and over the trigger. it looks like it's a decent amount, but the devil's in the details.
