Post by Claymore well what a crappy day, not has it only been raining most of it but my newly upgraded just delivered this morning AK47 (airsoft) does not seem to be working right but to top all that my M1A1 is not working.
After reading Marks Excellent review i got the gun out and polished up the bolt and thought great this will be fun, i even decided to video it (bad mistake that as everytime i try to vid myself firing i get problems). Anyway loaded the rounds 28 of them cocked the bolt pulled the trigger and the round failed to feed, tried again it failed to feed, next fed but failed to eject. So gun apart check it out all seemed in order.
Back to firing , failed feed failed feed fed and 1 round ejected failed to feed etc etc etc, you get the idea. Its raining, the AK aint right (after £200 upgrade) and MY BLOODY THOMPSON IS UP THE SPOUT.
Anyway, 50 deep breaths later and several wasted hrs and as i am taking a lodged round out of the chamber what do i find, a loose barrel detonator pin, in fact not just loose but complety free.
So gun apart, again and now i discover the srew has snapped and only has about 4mm of screw left to hold the pin. Well at least it seems i have found the problem but i dont have a screw suitable to replace, so quick email to jay and he has a genuine replacement in the post.
Of course not being satisfied with only a few problems i decided to give my new Kimber compact custom a blast and oohh! yes problems for some reason it does not feed correct as the round gets stripped of the mag the bullet head drops and slams into the breach, it could be the mag that is not sitting right but i just dont want to spend anymore time today trying to work it out.
Today was not a good day. I am now going to sit back with a very large cigar and several extremly large Glenlivets.
