kraken ak jamming problem

Nimble · July 24th, 2009, 03:07

Hi I have a Kraken ak I've had for almost 2 years and it's never given me any problems but lately its been jamming and I cant figure out why. What happens is the gun will fire a few rounds then start jamming about 2 inches into the chamber. I've taken the gun apart, cleaned and oiled the barrel and checked the hop up unit to make sure its not sticking but nothings worked. Hopefully I can get age verified soon and buy a better gun from the classifieds but for now I have nothing to game with, can anyone offer me some help?

what type of bbs are you using I heard cheap bbs jam the kraken.

bentsky · July 24th, 2009, 14:21

sounds like the problem i had with my kraken.try charging your battery that was my problem i didnt charge it fully and it started jamming,so i charged it again and the gun worked perfect.

Well the battery is at full charge but the bbs I have been using are the yellow Lasersoft brand ones from walmart. I know they are probably pretty cheap but I've been using them since i got the gun so im surprised that they would be jamming it up now. I put the gun back together last night and just tried it a few minutes ago and its still jamming, what happens is i get off maybe about 4-9 bbs then it jams and starts making this ripping/grinding sound when I try to fire. What I was considering doing if it was the piston that was causing me trouble was just buying the crossman ak47 beta from can tire and switching receivers since id rather have a folding stock but keeping the longer barrel, I'm pretty sure the crossmans a TM clone so is this possible if I cant make a quick fix myself?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
The crossman is a worse gun than the kraken the gearbox is plastic and the externals are flimsy. The kraken is a good gun I've had mine for 2 years and it still runs like it was bought yesterday the internals are still stock. It is easily upgraded when you get age verified when you are 18 as well as a good project gun I am planing on building a type-56-2 out of mine. The BB's you bought from walmart are crap so are probably deformed or too large causing games. The Kkraken is a CYMA AK rebranded so it's not wise to use cheap walmart bbs that is your problem.

BTW take your kraken off the cheap bbs they are meant for cheap springers get her some better bbs .2 Bastards at least.

if all else fails get a new hop up rubber and be on your way.

Nimble · July 24th, 2009, 20:59

its weird all of a sudden id be having a problem with the bbs but that does make sense that they are just crap. The reason i was thinking of buying the crossman is all i really want it for is the lower receiver and the folding stock, most that are sold online are metal and impossible to import and my local airsoft can rep to nanaimo is MIA so i have to plan to get down to vic at some point to get verified before i can find something better in the classifieds here.

The Crosman R76 receiver isn't compatible with the Kraken front end.

Kingsix · July 24th, 2009, 23:19

The folding stock metal is crap anyways

Nimble · July 24th, 2009, 23:35

Hmmmm that sucks that was my only backup plan. Are there any sites in canada other than velocity arms, shootsoft,buy airsoft,or capital that sell receivers with folding stocks? I cant seem to find this part on any of those.

Get Age verified.. it opens you to the REAL world of airsoft.

Don't bother with Krakens... With the new G&G Clear-soft line out... Krakens are a terrible lost cause.

Nimble · July 25th, 2009, 12:55

I checked out the new G&G lineup last night. AMAZING!! looks like my krakens gonna turn into a loaner gun for my buddys now when we go battle if I can get my hands on one of those babies!!

kalnaren · July 25th, 2009, 13:34

Don't get too excited.. they're not THAT amazing. Though still a far cry from aftermath shit.

Nimble · July 25th, 2009, 13:45

They still have some cool guns though. What would you guys say is the best line on the market right now for durability and upgrades??
