bb feeding problem....please help!!

Apr 23, 2004 1:08am
My m15a4 (classic army) seems to be having a bb feeding problem. bb's will just fall out the end of the barrel if you tilt it downward or if you shoot, it shoots one at full velocity and about 3 or 4 just fall out the end.....it seems to be worse with hi-cap mags, but does it with both hi-caps and standards...

this is just my amature opinion, but it sounds like the air isn't pushing the bbs out, its just loading them up into the chamber, then once too many gets in there they start to just push each other out the barrel and they fall out when u tilt it. sounds like u've got a leak in ur inner barrel or its not secure to ur gearbox or something. just a thought...

ok so here it goes, there can be a number of problems. first off check your hop up, make sure you turn it all the way off, see what happens then again all the way up. ok now that parts done. my question for you is the following.

it might be that, or, ur cylinder or something might be cracked, leaking the air out everytime u shoot, and eventually getting so big it cant push the BBs farther.

oh! im in idiot...could be your hopup, check the hop unit make sure everything is there and in tact, if you removed the inner barrel from the hop up unit...you may have lost a little thing..i call it the nub, but yea. hard to explain that. but if thats missing...youll need to find something that will work for it, i use alittle cut off of a straw from a silicon can or WD40 something like that.

Ok, that sounds like what it might be....because the gun is otherwise completely stock.

Sounds like the tapered part on the rubber hop up piece is not holding the bb's like it's supposed to.

Hey, thanks...I actually think is was a combo of the two things....the rubber wasn't seated correct and the nub was also missing.....the gun works perfect again!! I was even able to find the nub!! lol

i remember having so many effing problems with my m4 and "The Nub". i would always have to get it fixed and it turns out that it's just "The Nub" once more, and i started beating myself up over it, cuz i figured out how easy it was to fix, and i kept giving it to people and spending 15 bucks on getting that little rubber piece of shit to work. :)
