KJW KP-08 broken part after one game...

[WinnipegDragon]

I bought this pistol at the start of the year, but I only get a two week warranty from the seller, so if this needs to be fixed I'm on the hook for parts.

Anyhow from the parts diagram here: http://www.kjworks.com.tw/photo/13185702113.pdf

There is a hook on the bottom of part #23 'Chamber Cover (Left)' that has snapped clean off:



The gun seems to fire fine, cycles properly etc. I can't imagine why that hook would be there if it wasn't functional though. This is a tough question to answer I guess, but should I be ordering this part or should everything be fine as is?

Your gun likely still cycles fine because the right side of the hook is still present. I would probably replace it for reliability's sake, or at least have one on hand in case the other side breaks from more stress.

That's not a common break, I would be asking the retailer what they could do about it.

[WinnipegDragon]

They said two week warranty, the end.

I wasn't prepared to accept that given the fact that it's gamed once and is only a month old. I haven't heard back since that conversation but that was only earlier today.

[wind_comm]

whut. I've never seen that part break before.

good news for you, 1911/hicapa hop up units aren't that hard to find.

That's no biggie,

Just Order some spare parts. If local shops don't have it , order from over seas.

I have lots of spare parts for my KJW P226. I have not needed much to replace after 4 years other than routine maintenance such as nosel or two and some springs.

Just pick yourself up some spares and you will be fine!

You can't cheap out in this sport.

[PEACHTREE]

I forgot to mention this,

You are lucky you had a warranty, some places now have dropped warranty in order to give cheap cheap prices.

Cheap is not always in your best interest.

Yes I agree it was an unusual break.

[WinnipegDragon]

I didn't think this was a particularly cheap pistol? Nothing is cheap in Canada anyhow!

[PEACHTREE]

Agree,

My point is that the parts are cheap enough that you can have spares handy.

If you have time, I can send you a Hopup shell that would fix that. Somebody recently stepped up and sent me a part like this.

I know how frustrating it is to find these parts. They are basically out of stock in Canada or you need to pay a fortune for an aftermarket part.

Drop me a line.
