Airsoft Canada - View Single Post - Problem with the VSR 10 I just bought : any ideas?

Hello,

I just received my VSR 10 clone (actually an HFC USR 11).

When I fire, nothing comes out.

Only way I can get a shot is to remove the mag, pull back the bolt, insert the mag and push back the bolt. Then, when I pull the trigger, a BB is shot (at an acceptable speed). Nothing works if I try again to fire. I need to repeat the remove mag-pull bolt-insert mag-push bolt routine to get another shot.

I have already opened the mag and made sure everything was well-aligned and all. The spring also seems to have sufficient strength (I had a hard time squeezing it back in).

Anybody has any idea? The gun seems to have seen very little use and is reported by the seller (an ASC user) as working flawlessly. Only other problem to report : mag is bit hard to clamp in.

UPDATE : I can manage to shot more BBs without removing the mag but I need to knock on the side of the gun where the mag is when the bolt is pulled back to fire. My guess is that the knocking frees a BB to get in position, although BBs seem to get out of the mag because when I remove the mag, a BB falls out of the gun...
