Airsoft mech issue,

Hello,
I am after some help if possible,
I am having problems with the firing capability of my Taigen Tiger (heng long on steroids )
Bb's seem to be collecting in the barrel :'( when firing, not good considering I have just purchased her,
Anyone know the diagnosis and or fix rather than go to the bother of returning for the company to do the same fix.

Many thanks

Dave

Hiya Dave , are you using the supplied BB's ? - they are not very good , often out of round - I only use polished ones , there are lots on fleabay .

Hi Blimp,

Yes I am using the stock yellow Bbs, they seem to work great in the kv I have, could this be because it us a much shorter barrel?

I am sure it is something to do with the mechanism, :( the damn thing was delivered on fri 13th, big tune pee'd off, I am hoping why nitrotek have not returned my emails is because they close for the week end.

The short barrel airsofts do work better , my HL Tigers gun is pretty pants as well - too much 'puff' is lost just forcing the pellets through the longer barrel :'(

I would of though I would of been even better for propulsion but I figure not mate,
One other thing I do notice is the the barrel itself seems so bouncy, if pressed it moves way to easy. Is that normal with your kitty?

I have no problem with my HL tiger, the BB's easily go 20 - 25 yards but I did check the barrel when I first got it and had to clear some bits of "flash" out of it when new which I think got in when the aluminium tube is inserted into the plastic outer barrel so I suggest checking its totally clear all the way through.

Jonger you were rite!
I could not see anything visually when I shone the torch in but I stuck the handle of a paint brush in and it seems to of done the job! It is no where near as accurate than the Kv of mine but at least it's allot better!

Thank you Mate
