G&G AK47 Fun times - Need help!

Well, A few days ago I was plinking around with my AK47, and out of the blue... The gun started sputtering shots. Some wouldn't go through the barrel, some would shoot, some would just roll out. It was horrid! Expecially just after getting the damn thing.

Anyway, I finally mustered up the gut to pull the thing apart and found a few things... Now, just to make things clear. I'm not exactly well educated in gundoctoring (Yet, I hope to be able to offer such services in the future) But i've found I was getting absolutely no compression with the cylinder.

I put my finger to the nozzle and depressed the cylinder. I had little to no resistance and air seemed to seep out from underneath the air nozzle itself and the cylinder heads nozzle (Not sure of the proper terms for such). I pulled the air nozzle off and did the same thing, air was also moving out from around the cylinder. I'm not sure that if this is normal or not... But, like i said i'm uneducated in such things.

Now, i'm thinking that I need to put grease or something in the cylinder and the nozzle to help stunt the airflow to have it go through where it should. If i am right, which is best to do so? I was able to reassemble the gearbox with little to no issue. I just need the thing firing now.

Thanks for the help

hope you kept your reciept, if you just got it contact the retailer explain the situation and request a refund or exchange for a working model. if its your first time gun docing dont risk making it worse and voiding any warrenty, put it back together and contact the retailer dont try fixing it.

My guess is you blew your piston head and no air is coming out. If that is the problem, then the gun will fire and load normally, but no pellets will come out and no air will come out of the nozzle. (the tappet will still load pellets)

To fix this issue, you'd have to strip it right apart and replace the piston head from inside the gearbox.

Take it to a local gundoctor if you have one. You could sit there for hours, but they could probably pinpoint the problem in seconds.

The gun was baught baught over the classifieds. So i dunno about a return. The last thing I wanna do is send it to a gundoc though, the last few times i had I wasn't exactly happy with the results.

I have a palco AK47 beta clone i'm gonna rip apart in a day or so to see if exchanging the cylinder bits will help.

Thanks for the tips. I'll update as soon as possible
