Sounds like the bb stopper is worn out. Thats the plastic upside down "U" shaped thing in the hopup. Mine went bad and when I cocked the rifle they would all go inside the barrel and stop the cylinder from going forward.

Well, once i get the rifle open ill swap it out for a BAR 10 one In the mean time ill have to survive

Do you have something like Harbor Freights near you? If you dont know what that is. The are like a tools store but is mostly low priced tools and what not. China made stuff. But either way I think you should get a small screw extractor tool. I have some that only costed a few bucks and works pretty good. Sucks you cant get it out buddy.

If the problem is the bb stopper, you can get them for cheap at evike and (I think) ASGI. I wouldn't doubt it has wear on it because the sharp edge of the metal piston nozzle has to push past the plastic bb stopper to get a seal on the bucking. Over time that will cause a lot of wear.

I'm from the UK guys so its a bit of a problem ordering from USA. Gonna try get the screw out sometime tomorrow i think. I used a JG bar 10 cylinder instead of the GSPEC one, is there any noticeable difference?

 

[~Ranger~]

I dont think they are any different, I think one just has a shorter barrel.

 

[bengreen]

Alright, well thats fine - ill have a crack at getting this screw out tomorrow, should be able to get a replacement. Ill swap out the bb stopper tomorrow.

 

[~Ranger~]

Right on.. Good luck buddy. I hate when screws give me crap.

 

[bengreen]

luckily i managed to get the screw out! Because i hadnt gone over the top in chewing it i just tilted the allen screw and got it out, gonna make it into a flat head screw now.

edit: I have just looked at my bucking, it was turned slightly so the 'window' where the arm presses was pressing on a bit of metal too, i changed it so it no longer does this; i also swapped out the bb stoppers. Will be able to test tomorrow as it is 11PM here

Went out and tested it. Still happens, this is so frustrating. It double feeds sometimes and fires two, sometimes it doesnt let me shoot at all (because its fed like 5 into the hop and its block the cylinder). Im honestly running out of ideas Could it be the hop bucking itself?

 

[Masterjuggler98]

The bucking wouldn't cause it to double feed. My next best guess would be the mag. Open it up and clean and lube it. Just make sure to find a video on how to open it up because I heard it is a PITA to get back together without instructions, although I could be wrong.

It could be the little spring that goes on top of the bb stopper is worn out, or fell out. If the little spring is missing that would cause the bb stopper to not work right.

The spring is there, its still springy too, i do have 3 other mags so ill test with them

 

[Lightbulb]

Its a pain, I know because I had this issue too. Have you tried loosening the front body screw a little? Or tightening it more (if not already tight)?

Just needs fiddling with unfortunately, there is no magic cure.

You could try putting a stronger spring in there just in case. Like out of a pen - cut it down a bit.

 

[bengreen]

Yeah it really is a pain, especially when it clears out half of a mag just trying to get it working again! But im gonna try a new mag, then try some other bits like what you've said.

Edit - went out for a test. My conclusions are, it can't be my bb stopper, i popped a bb in there, and vigorously shook my rifle, that thing wasnt going anywhere. Secondly, changed from my original TM mag to an unbranded one (i believe 55rounds) and shot around 50-60 BB's through it, didnt double feed once, i had the odd low baller BB but i think that could be a barrel problem (i need to clean it).

Hello guys!

Well, I'm having the same problem with my JB BAR-10 (stock complete with ML hop up bucking and AA 6.03mm inner barrel).
I've tried loosening screws, tightening screws, stretching bb spring stopper, I have 3 different mags (TM, JG and AA)... zero results... still double feeding with all 3 mags.

Any clues?

Switch bb stopper? switch bb stopper spring?

Thank you!
