Hello!
I bought a used CA m24 some time ago.
The previous owner said that there is a problem with the hop-up, so I rose to the challange and bought the gun anyway, since I had some spare parts available.
First thing I noticed was that the hop-up bucking was torn up pretty bad, so I replaced it with a similar right away (PDI). Also some of the screws on the PDI hop up chamber were in a pretty bad shape so I replaced them aswell. Everything else was in pretty good condition so I put i all back together, and tried to shoot. The first time I cocked the gun and fired, nothing happened. I cocked again, and the bb shot. I repeated this for a while, and it turns out that upon shooting the bb either just falls out of the barrel once you push the cylinder forward, or it shoots, but in some cases pretty bad. The gun never shoots on the first cocking. I tried a guarder bucking, but that didn't do the trick. The hop-up is obviously set to the lowest setting, so the bb doesn't get stuck on it.
Has anyone got any ideas about what could be the problem, and possibly on how to fix it? :shrug:
