BB's not firing from TM M1A1
Yeesh, I just can't win with this gun.
Okay... I just finished installing high speed gears into a ver 6 mechbox. I shimmed it all according to the instructions etc. But, once I re-assembled my TM M1A1, it will not fire BB's. The BB's just get stuck between the nozzle and the hopup mechanism. Originally, I thought that it might be the hop-up so, I took that all apart and rebuilt it. I put the gun back together and tried to fire again and the same thing happened.
Now, I've taken everything but the mechbox apart and I'm trying to figure out what could be causing my problems. I've noticed something that might be having an effect but I'm not sure. If I put my finger near the nozzle, there is a fairly large amount of suction that is taking place before the piston completes its cycle and empties the air. Is this a normal occurance or could this actually be the source of my problems? Anyone have ideas of what else it could be? As a note, there are no other upgrades that have been done to the gun. I've only put in the high speed gears.
