ACM Grenade M203 question

Kurbinator

Recently got the above grenade for my M203.But every time I load the bb's into the holes in the thing they fall into the bottom or slide out the holes when it goes horozontal in the launcher.At first I thought it was the bb's I was using but I then used the ones that came with the grenade and same story(these were .2g bb's)Any ideas on how to solve the problem or anyone had this problem before

There should be a rubber washer around the grenade that slightly protrudes the channels where the bbs go in. It kinda looks like a hopup when looking down. can you post up a pic of the particular grenade?

It might just be a case of fiddling with the o-ring or even replace for a thicker or tighter one.

yup, see that ring around the grenade near the holes where the bbs go in? thats the o-ring/where the o-ring should be. You might be able to get that size in halfords or a plumbing shop.

Thanks again Masada but I have something strange to report back.It seems that the bb's pool together at the bottom of the grenade and stay thereand are shot out of the holes.Not like the other grenade I saw where 10 bb's stay in each hole.I'll say this much that many bb's comming at you will hurt
Hope this makes sense

That shouldn't happen unless the base of the grenade has become unscrewed from the top of the grenade enough to give too much space inside the base. Try screwing the top and bottom of the nade back together so that they're tight. Also a quick fix for the O ring problem is to lash a bit of grease or even vaseline on the top of each loading hole, it'll usually be enough to keep the bbs in place before firing so long as you're not throwing the nade around the place. Get an O ring asap though as it's much easier, I only use the grease trick for poorly designed nades with no O ring at the top (CA I'm looking in your direction here....)
