I recently bought a G&G M14 lemon that I'm trying to turn into lemonade.

Brand new the gun didn't fire after tearing it apart over and over I figured out with a friend that the motor was wired backwards. I had to reverse the polarity to get the motor to spin the right way. This is after I bought a Guarder high torque motor because I thought the G&G m14 motor wasnt strong enough pull the spring.

Now I have the gun shooting at 450 with 130m systema spring and my next issue has cropped up.

The gun shoots fine, but the trigger doesn't return unless I pull it forward. Without a battery the trigger works fine. I did notice that a spring I think was attached the trigger slide on the side of the gear box is missing. I looked all over and cant find the spring thats missing online to find out what it is. My best guess is it's a trigger assist spring.

Any idea whats wrong, or what and where that missing spring went on the gear box?

G&G M14 Veteran trigger doesnt return

Just a guess but that sounds like that could be the problem is it small with 2 loops, one on each end? if it is it goes on the top of the bit of the trigger switch that moves and the other end goes to a metal post behind the trigger mechanism (did that make any sense ??? )

Yeah Mines not plastic though. I believe that is spring that is missing, and I cant find anywhere to buy it. Also im ot sure what post you are talking about.

lol sorry was altering it as it didn't make much sense to me :-/

The spring im talking about is on the outside of the gear box.

G&G M14 Veteran trigger doesnt return

the only one I can think of on the outside is the selector plate spring let me do a little more searching not sure what gearbox is in the M14

EDIT: whoa was way off on that one lol :-/

there are 2 springs on there not sure of the function of either but might help identify the missing one

These Cyma gearbox are even more weird looking. Heres the one in the G&G that trigger slide right their with a hook that I believe a spring went on.

Could it attach to the motor cage? had a look around and can't really see anything at the mo but will keep looking

EDIT: well I am stumped for now :-/ found some disassembly guides but none seemed to have the hook bit and no spring sorry haven't been much help. I will leave it to someone with a little more experience unless I stumble upon a solution

Do you mean something like the springs similar to the ones shown on the trigger set for Echo 1's M14 (Sorry I don't have a M14 either, but hope this helps)

I know SHS or CA sell misc springs for gearboxes, so check ehobby and CA respectively.

The g&g m14 pushes on part of the trigger instead of pulling like what is on a regular trigger switches. If you watch a couple g&g m14 disassembly videos they usually will point it out to you. If anything if you can find what diameter you need you may be able to find it on mcmastercarr.

Is it this spring which is missing?

The spring I believe was on the outside of gearbox and connected to that little hook that some people dont have.

 

[vermilion]

It sounds like you are missing this little spring.

I don't know where you could get another one though.

 

[sanguinor]

Interesting! I don't have one of them on my G&G M14... I will be having a look now to see if I have that little hook (though I don't think I have).

That spring would pull the trigger back better wouldn't it? If I do have the hook... I think I might try and get one of those springs!

 

[slytin]

Thats it!
I need to find that spring somewhere.

Fixed it I used a hair tie and wrapped it around the motor and trigger slide.

Thanks for everyones help.
