Well Mb08 Issue


GunRunner

Recommended Posts

When I am using my WELL MB08 sniper rifle, I have an issue when the barrel is pointed downward, which cannot be avoided when it is being carried. The BB that is currently in the chamber rolls down and out of the barrel. Does anyone know why this happens and how or if I can fix it? I appreciate the help.

 

Sorry for posting the topic twice. My internet isn't the greatest and decided to spaz out out on me.

Most probably issue: the bucking is bad. Second most probable issue: it's a well, and well, they aren't the best by any means.

 

See if the new bucking will fix it. If its a vsr type rifle get a vsr bucking of some sort, and if it uses a type 96 style bucking, search for the replacement part on eBay under UTG bucking or something of that nature.

I know WELL rifles aren't the best, and I did plan on replacing the internals. I'm not entirely sure, but I think it's a vsr in an L96 body, if that makes any sense. This is going to sound stupid, but where would the bucking be located? I know most of the parts, but I've never heard of that before.

The bucking is inside the hop up unit on the end of the barrel inside the gun. Look in the magwell and you should see the hop up unit.

I've run into another problem. While trying to dissassemble the rifle, the upper receiver became stuck. It's caught on something, but I don't know what. Between me and one other person helping to get it out, there were no results. I'd post a picture, but the forum won't let me post one. I really feel dumb for having to ask about this as well. I took this thing apart and reassembled it last night, but it won't come apart now. I'm really starting to regret getting this rifle.

There's 3 screws (or should be). One behind the trigger guard, one behind the magwell in front of the trigger guard, and one at the front that is a part of the RIS for the bipod (if there is one).

It should come out,, make sure you have all the bolts out, one could just be a thread or 2 in and stoping you.

I checked. Two bolts keep it in, and both were completely unscrewed. It still wouldn't come off. The trigger assembly box seems to be what's caught. Both of the areas with the screws can be lifted from the lower receiver.

See if you can unscrew the mag catch mechanism fromt he outer barrel (it screws into the outer barrel/hop unit) and remove it that way. after looking up the MB08, it is basically the UTG, and that's the only thing i can think might be catching int he lower receiver.

That's the odd thing. The mag catch clears the receiver just fine. The area that its stuck is around the trigger assembly box. I always run into odd issues like this. If I were able to post a picture, I could show you where it's catching in the receiver. What it could be is the oversized rectangular portrusion om the left of the trigger assembly box (for get what it's called). That or some other, much more complicated issue.

Nothing is working. I have tried almost everything to get it out. The two bolts that hold the body to the upper receiver are completely unscrewed, and are not what is keeping it in. I got the magazine catch out. Something on the trigger assembly is keeping it in. I've even tried to take the frame apart, but it won't come apart. I don't know what's keeping it in, but its something that shouldn't be causing problems. If someone could tell me how to post a picture, I could show exactly where it's getting caught.

If you can wait until chill n grill, you could bring it to chill n grill so that others could take a look at it as well.

 

Stupid question, but what's chill & grill?

Hangout/ eat good food/ teching day. Basically, the community gets together to hang out, eat good food, and have a good time whilst working on guns if work needs to be done.

I got the receiver to come apart. I was right when I said that a tab was probably the culprit.The tab broke off and the reciever came out. The gun still shoots fine. I also looked at the hopup and it looks fine. I'm not sure why the BB rolls out.

I found and fixed the issue. There was a screw on the top of the bucking that had become loose. This allowed the BB to roll through. I tightened said screw and the BB doesn't roll out anymore. Thanks to everyone for the help.
