BB's in sniper falling backwards into cylinder are

T4RGET

Hi all.

I have this sniper belonging to my mate and all the problems it had I now fixed how ever when ever I load a magazine into the rifle it will empty everything, not only that but all the BB's fall backwards in to where the cylinder is, there is little hole in that area to allow BB's caught in there to fall out but it shouldn't empty them all into it.
The same happen when I load it manually oneBB at a time. I have to load it updide and forward so the BB doesn't slide backwards into the where the cylinder is, Ive opened the hop up unit and checked but all is good and there is no visible place where there should be an O-ring or similar to stop the BB's from sliding backwards

what model is it?

T4RGET

no idea, all i can say it says made in Taiwan on it, has hole where a front sight used to be mounted, barrel is placed in to make it look like a free float system and it pushes forward a bit when fired, I bolt maybe? or similar

T4RGET

right after a it of searching looks to be a VSR/Bar-10 but it's made in Taiwan and i don't know of any made in taiwan, can anyone help me please it's getting pretty annoying.

if it has that recoil system id say its an ibolt

T4RGET

well it pushes forward rather than backwards, but the problem is very strange...

The moving barrel could be a looseness thing? I had a similar problem with my friend's m24 SOCOM (with fluted barrel) I heard it was a Classic army but I found ASG written on it as well as made in Taiwan. Check that little hole in front of the piston (back of the magwell) and see if it's cracked or if there's any wear on it.

i had it in pieces yesterday down to the hop up to check if it was missing an o ring or something along the lines but nothing couldn't find any noticable damage either, a mate of mine was messing around with it today and he noticed that if he loaded the mag and pulled the bolt back slowly it doesn't happen so i suppose patience will be the key to using this thing

You shouldn't have to do that though. The nozzle should be able to fit through the hole while BBs shouldn't. I suppose it's better to have it kinda working than not working at all, but I couldn't handle that! One wrong move and your mag is empty, not ideal.

yeah i know what you mean, i don't like this whole 'ah do this and it's fine' business work as it should or call it broke but he seems happy enough with it it. just a point on that the BB shouldn't be able to fit through but the nozzle does, this is the first thing i checked and there is a little plastic bit that kind of sits higher than the rest and is pushed down when the air nozzle slides over it, loading the BB in, i though this might be the problem but i made a new spring and it's still doing it, it only stops the BB going down the barrel but not into the cylinder, that's why i was looking for an o-ring space and maybe it was lost but it honestly doesn't make any logical mechanical sense IMO.
