    Does anybody have a 1mil allen key or know where I could pick one up?

    Stupid VFC scar gearbox needs a 1 mil to take the fireselector apart and I don't have one.

    Trigger contacts inside seem to be stuck, gun is on constant full auto the second the battery is connected.

    Iwas reading a review of the scar one time he did the review and that was it. but he aded to it when the wouldn't stop firing he had to remove the battery. long story short its was some sort of washer or something that got stuck between the contacts but he did not know where it came from:confused::confused::confused:. he removed it and it worked perfectly again so that's probably your problem. hope you get it fixed:):):)

    Guess you're looking to find one quickly and this will not help with your
    immediate need - but I was in a similar situation last week and currently
    have a set on the way from Dealextreme. For USD 5 inc shipping it's worth
    ordering for any future needs.

    Thanks, but I'm pretty sure that they are American standard(imperial) and that they will strip the heads you are using over time.

    Put the battery in, while its firing switch it to full auto and pull the trigger in bursts until it stops firing. This worked on my vfc hk416 so it might work on yours and dont use it on semi.

    i think the allen key on the gearbox is a 2mm, far as i can remember i used a torx screw driver on it, the same as the nokia screwdrivers.,
