gorilla Posted Tuesday at 19:40 Share Posted Tuesday at 19:40 (edited) Hi Just bought a used WE SCAR L GBBR. Has a problem with the trigger box, guessing its the standard M4 type? The problem is that it fire on auto when on single. I'm able to replace parts, but I just need to know what the issue is with the trigger box. Many thanks Edited Tuesday at 19:41 by gorilla Mispelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ButcherBill Posted Tuesday at 20:05 Share Posted Tuesday at 20:05 I have the WE Scar-H which had it's faults from cack handed teching by a previous owner, sorry I can't help with your current issue but worst case scenario is £35 + postage for a new trigger box. I've used KYairsoft for a few times for parts without any issues. https://www.kyairsoft.com/scar-93-gbbr.html Nick G 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick G Posted Wednesday at 18:51 Share Posted Wednesday at 18:51 Firing full auto when on semi will be wear in the trigger parts. So either a replacement trigger box or the internals should fix it. As ButcherBill said , KYairsoft are good for WE parts, I use them regularly for bits . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilMonkee Posted Thursday at 14:18 Share Posted Thursday at 14:18 Sadly WE internals are made of cheese and need replacing. I suggest the RA-Tech steel parts rather than buying the WE parts just to have them wear out again. As the guys have said KYAirsoft should be able to help or RA-Tech website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the guys have said KYAirsoft should be able to help or RA-Tech website That's not my experience . Both my L119's have had many thousands of rounds through them as has the L85. G3 and MP5 are relativly recent additions, but I've never had a compnant in the trigger box's fail. A mate did when some numpty forced his 119 into safe without cocking it first, so that was user error. I have had way more issues with RATech parts than with the stock WE ones tbh. Same with my pistols, never had to replace parts due failure ( except the HiPower valve knocker which is fragile) despite some very hard use .

Ran the L119 A1 last Sunday untill the cold got to me and I called it a day. Gun ran flawlesley. 2 hours ago, ButcherBill said: Well i don't play often so can't speak about longevity but the 'bolt' on my XM177 broke after very little use. not been used in a game since as I've not played since July. What actually 'broke' ? the casting itself ? nozzle ? nozzle spring ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RATech shit just causes more problems than it solves. Not upgrades, just overtly expensive side grades. I have had stock WE trigger boxes last in excess of 100k bb's, but it requires proper regular maintenance. Nick G 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean the crenalations at the front that fit into the back of the hop unit ? If so , losing most of those wont stop the gun from working properly . Possibly losing all of them wont actually cause an issue. One of mine is missing a pretty substantial section after I got heavy handed sorting out a broken up BB that got wedged in there after a miss feed .

They broke off & affected the performance at the time, enough to be relegated to the boot of my car, on closer investigation I found the issue & replaced it, the lugs are cosmetic but it was only £30 inc postage to replace it. I've kept it as spare parts as it fits my Scar-H too. Nick G 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When this happened to mine I drilled a hole and glued in a small metal pin, it worked 🤷 ButcherBill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lugs broke off & I'm sure it worked fine after I shook the bits out of the pew, I replaced it as it would keep me awake at night if I didn't 🙂 Nick G 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
