ak47 selector swicth problem

[dead_aim]

just got my ak all upgraded to full metal but the selector switch was very loose and it felt like it was not making contact/moving the selector switch...is this a comon problem when switchin to a metal body????

My ICS Ak 74M is doing the smae thing. I was wondering if a little bit of lock tight would do the trickand keep it in place? please give me some ideas!

Although I posted a probable fix for this ealier (see above thread) I have contacted ICS and they sent me an email saying they woiuld look into a permanent fix in later models. Whether this is true or not...i dont know but there ya go.

well tips for a TM?? my ak looks all sexy but it doesent work...lol

I had to take off the selector switch for my addition of a metal body as well. As mentioned, it is now loose. dead_aim, does the selector not work at all, or is it just lose and sluggish?

With it as it is now, I have to re-tighten the screw under the little cap there every once in a while. Some blue loc-tite should fix it just fine. I'll do it today and let you know.

[dead_aim]

its actually both...lose and it doesn't work...

what screw are you talking about??

dont know aboput a TM ak...although I am looking at getting one in the next year or so (mainly cause ya can't have enough ak's)

I would love to Dr stuff but I dont want to mess up others guns until I am 99% sure I can fix em.

I was talking about the small screw that holds the selector switch on, dead_aim. I used some Lock-Tite blue on it today. Let you know after the game Sunday how it held up.
