[Rotting]

Hey all,

I've recently been noticing that my trigger response is getting worse and worse. Been doing this for about the past 3 months. It's to the point where on semi-automatic I have to depress the trigger for a couple seconds just for it to cycle once. Something tells me that isn't normal.

Someone told me to try going to a high-torque motor as I may be having trouble pulling the spring, which I don't quite think is the issue since I believe I'm using an S110. Replaced it anyway because the motor I was using is about 5 years old now. No improvement was seen.

I figured it is probably the electrical contacts. Last time I took a good look in there, they were pretty dirty. I cleaned them up, but I'm guessing that the contacts are just past their time. I have no problem replacing that, so that isn't a concern. Even if that isn't the cause of the problem, I'm still replacing that since I've been using that contact set through rain, humidity, and pretty much any other weather condition you can name for the past 1-2 years now.

If it's not the contacts just showing their wear, what else could it be? Worth mentioning that I'm using a rear wired M4 variant. My only other thought would be that it could potentially be the wire is getting pinched somewhere and I need to open up the routing for the cable a bit more. I'm also using a LiFe battery.
