G&G Scar-L Problems

ww2warrior · July 29th, 2008, 14:23

Got some problems with my almost brand new Aeg, a G&G Scar-L. Paying 600$ for an Aeg that works for one game is really sad I gotta say but some people knows the curse that is following me: Every Aeg I touch breaks. Tm,Jg,A&k and now G&G... I'm really starting to be pissed, I can hardly remember a game where I didnt have any problem at all with my Aeg.

So, introduction's over, lets talk about my Aeg's problem.

I don't know why but for the first 5-10 min of a game, everything works perfectly: good Fps,great feeding and accuracy. After some time, I have some really bad feeding problem: Really damn Low Fps, double or triple feeding, Almost Zero accuracy. I was suspecting an broken Hop-up but suddently the gears started to make a squeaking noice. I say it again: Brand Fucking New.

Please Help

Well i've heard that G&G hop ups suck and that they should be replaced. I'm sure about the gears though.

Sounds the hopup unit was getting blocked, which leads to double or triple feed as the BBs will often stack up enough to push through the blockage. However, eventually one really bad jam developed and your piston is now probably stripped as a result.

You'll have to go inside your mechbox to be sure, but that's my diagnosis.

Ah, seems like i'm not the only with the problem. I can tell you could be your mags. I only had triple or double feeding when I try to use my King arms low cap, but with G&G hi-cap no issue.

However, my King arms one are very used so the magazine spring could be wore out and contributed the problem.

your guns?.. craptastic BBs can cause spectacular failures

ww2warrior · July 29th, 2008, 16:01

bb bastard .20

Ok guys, I just checked the hop-up (and saw it's not the same than tm M4) and it looks ok...Motor pinion is ok and the gears looks fine too. Fully cleaned the barrel and now I need your help cause everything looks normal.

Flatlander · July 29th, 2008, 16:51

Put a drop or 2 of silicon oil (or a quick spray) through the hopup - turn your gun upside down and through the magwell; make sense?

Sounds like a jamming problem which are commonly caused by dry hopups.

Describe the noise in more detail please. I don't think the gears will really squeek. More of a gross grinding noise?

ww2warrior · July 29th, 2008, 17:04

Yeah exactly that kind of noise, gonna oil the hop up and see what happens

Edit: Ok guys, gun was oiled and reassembled and for Now it works great, shoots hard and well. Gonna try to shoot more rounds to see if the problems come back.

Maybe you should buy a PTW lol
Every make of AEG will only last so long on stock parts, that's just how it goes.

ww2warrior · July 29th, 2008, 20:49

Both My M249 and M4 broke after 1 game... Sr-16 and Scar broke after 2-3 games. Wth don't tell me stock parts normaly breaks like that...

I really don't have 2000$ to put on a PTW.

The Saint · July 30th, 2008, 00:12

I think you've just got bad luck.

Yuu · July 30th, 2008, 04:01

Its just part of airsoft world everything eventually breaks.
