TM SPAS-12 strange jamming problem

jerryliang2k · February 7th, 2006, 15:55

Hi guys, I just got a TM SPAS-12 today. After loading the cartridge with some BBs and shooting up an old box i was quite satisfied with my purchase.

After removing the cartridge from the gun, i noticed some rattling. At first i thought it was because of the two loops that you put your sling through but then I held those two still and noticed the rattling was coming from inside the fore-grip (the part you hold on to when you pump the gun). Does anyone know how to clear this jamming problem?

It in no way effects the shooting of the gun but its pretty damn annoying if you can imagine.

Thanks in advance guys

wait....rattling or jamming, which is it?

The SPAS 12 rattles a lot. Just remember that racking the slide on a toy gun is not the same as using the real thing. A certain amount of care and gentleness is required.

So please identify the noise; rattle or completely loose part?

BBs may have slipped into the foregrip...I've used some cheap spring airsoft guns before, and that happens. I dunno if thats a TM problem too

Jamming or Rattling... I think its rattling caused by a jamming

.

If i had to pick thou i'd say it's rattling. I also think its possible that a bb slipped into the fore grip but I have no idea how it got in there or how to get it out

Two little screws. Right on the fore grip.

after hearing the horror stories surrounding the disassembly of TM shotguns .... i dunno

anyways i just wanted to know if anyone else experienced a similar problem and how they dealth with it. If taking the fore grip off is the only way then i'll do it.

If you are not comfortable doing it, just find a local person to help you.

Taking the pump/fore grip off is no problem, just dont go anywhere near the reciever/main body.
