ICS not firing.

Ghillie973 · February 18th, 2006, 00:17

Well I know that the sleeve is to tight as the bucking (which looks like a little bead right?) is all the way up in the hop-up unit so the hop-up is off. When I take the barrel out of the hop-up unit and keep the sleeve on I have to pop the BB past the beginning of the sleeve, after that the BB just rolls down the barrel.

So your thinking the sleeve is too tight? Would it have shrunk? Everything was working fine until one day it just started to jam up. I'll try to look around for another sleeve first. I'm just kinda in a rush cause the Stargate game is in two weeks and this is my only AEG.

Thanks for the help.

Np man anytime to help a fellow airsofter/friend. Your best bet is to get the gaurder one. I had the exact same problem when i tried to use the stock ICS hopup sleeve on my systema tightbore. So when i changed it to a gaurder sleeve all was well... its kinda weird i might add but it worked in the end.

could be part of a broken BB, I've had this happen befor try taking out the hopup/barrel assembaly and get a good look in there, might be a little chunk of something

What kind of material is the hop-up sleeve made of, and have you gotten it lubed up at any point?

I hear silicone oil can cause hop-up rubbers to swell...

I'm sure someone has probably already mentioned it, or it's a non-issue because you haven't done anything to it... but it's worth mentioning.

They do swell, big time, buckings do the same thing, but he would've noticed it buy now because it's next to impossible to put hopup sleeve back in place if it "got fatter" from silicon.

Just put a Guarder Hop-up sleeve in and it fixed the problem.

What causes the sleeve to shrink? Is it to much silicon oil or does it just happen over time? I guess it's a good idea to always have an extra sleeve with you.
