Hi everybody!

Yesterday I went to my seller to pick up my scar, but I ended up staying about 7 hours in his workshop!! LOL
Let me say first that my seller turned out to be a very competent guy, he knows everything and is very creative in fixing solutions
However its the first time he had to upgrade a gas blowback riffle, he saw it as a challenge.

Reason for my long stay is we had probs with the feeding after installing new ratech Long inner barrel + stinger.
It would pile up bb's and none would exit or sometimes 7 at a time...
After installing the normal barrel and stock hop up it was okay.
But when i tested it later at home, it would again pile up bb's
Solution: when we tested all day we never lubed or greased

So the solution was quite simple to that problem, spray a shitload of silicone oil and grease the bolt area.
These rifles are know to malfunction IF you don't take care of them after each use, so you must maintainance this gun alot!

2nd issue, at the top of the hammer theres a circle like thing held in place by a pin, that pin now falls off all the time...

Whats the purpose of that circle thing on the hammer? is it important, could I do without?
If not can I locktite that pin holding the circle thing in place?
Solution: replace with RA Tech trigger mechanism, not only trigger but also the disconnecter.
Cause if you only replace the hammer and trigger that other part will brake cause its pot metal....
RA Tech has a full trigger kit.

3rd issue: chopping of bb's, details of the problem at post #13.
Solution: see last post

So, its not exactly ready to fire unfortunatelly.
HOWEVER, I DIG THE LOOKS, especially with all the gismoes on it.
Pics will be put on later as soon as I got my issues fixed

So, mixed feelings: it looks abs badass, but i cant fire it.

And since my seller is not in my immidiate neighbourhood + shipping airsoftweapons internally in my country (Belgium) is forbidden, I will go to him with my issues somewhere in the future....
So for now its just a showcase piece...and i will try to fix as many as i can by myself based on board comments.
So I hope some can help.

Greetz,
Riko
