M15A4 CA SPORTLINE

Magzire · 13-09-2008 5:13pm #1

Over a year ago i purchase m15a4 sportline at a reasonable price for a CA,over the past few months am having trouble with motor its seems,its just doesn't stay fully auto,sometimes i press the trigger and nothing happens or i get 3 seconds of burst from it,semi auto is also unreliable too,is it due to bad wiring?,a failure in the motor?well i don't think its the motor cause it would not shoot at all,maybe im wrong.
Well i have no idea really how to fix it,nor haven't opened it up yet,any suggestions or any places were i can get it fixed?:(:(:(

Oh man cheers shiva,outstanding service indeed,but was messing around with the connectors that connects the battery to the gun,i thought that maybe be the problem so i customized my own,but same results..its gonna need it a new wiring near the fuse compartment,i pay for if needed.

So how will i come about in getting the gun to your place,by post?

Uhhh....yeah, just before anyone starts foaming at the mouth and chewing bricks (Yes, Hivemind...I'm looking at you !:D) theres no way in hell it'll be that powerful. It'll be in and around 310-320 FPS.

Magzire · 14-09-2008 12:28am

i don't understand,every review i looked at it says over 400 fps..not one says its under..do they come in different ranges??

Out of the box, they're about that power, yeah. But that'd be illegal in Ireland, so I have them downgraded by the supplier before they ship, to make them legal.

Magzire · 14-09-2008 2:00am

ah ok,that's a shame..you downgrade them by changing spring?

They're downgraded at source, but yes, by changing the spring.

I've never had a problem with my sportsline

hoplite · 14-09-2008 1:14pm

My sportsline is still strong too.

So's mine - running fantastic (since I replaced the gears and piston and shims and bushings with Dboys ones):p:p:p

Shiva · 14-09-2008 3:22pm

Yeah, most of you guys with no problems bought yours from the first generation. Its only with the later models of Classic Army guns (Sports and Pro line) that problems started to occur.

That sounds plausible its a pity that they let their QC slip. In fact classic army are'nt making anything sportsline or otherwise that would tempt me right now.

Keggers · 14-09-2008 8:39pm

not even the P90

hoplite · 14-09-2008 9:28pm

Actually I dont want to derail the thread with P90 hating its just not my cup of tea. From an airsoft standpoint the Marui P90 is an excellent aeg so it will be interesting to see how the sportline p90 stacks up against the TM P90.

TheDoc · 14-09-2008 9:39pm

no comment on CA :P

I'm new school airsofter, and I arrived with airsoft along with the ****e classic army started pumping outa the grinder... so i never even consider them in fairness

Depends on the supplier really... I'd imagine Tony ordered your stuff as soon as the request came in but not everything can be got so quickly

TerrorFirmer · 17-09-2008 10:09pm

Rather then creating a new thread, my friend has this rifle, and when on full auto, it always jams after 3 or 4 shots. Firing on single...can fire until the cows come home. At times, it also just randomly stops working, plain old dies - then it'll start working again a few attempts later. Has been doing this out of the box. Any opinions? Was pretty disappointed and he definitely is, wouldn't buy anything CA after seeing it in action (or not in action, most of the time) and from the general opinion around the place. I've used a 40 euro AEG that was able to go through several 100 rounds on full auto without a hitch so this is really annoying and at 160 euro you expect a bit more.

The SR25 is unavailable for the moment.
The last one I had was sent out the other day, possibly to you.

Theres one other outstanding order for it, and the buyer was emailed to tell him it would be unavailable for a couple weeks, and offered a refund.

Things are generally slow at the moment, because we're only now starting to get regular supplies back in - the Olympics played absolute havoc with airsoft supplies over the last 3 or 4 months.
