GunRunner Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 (edited) 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. Edited January 9, 2014 by GunRunner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceReaper Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 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.

williamc Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I agree with ace. I had the same problem with a m4 i had. the bucking would be the thing to start with. Did this just start doing it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunRunner Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceReaper Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunRunner Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 (edited) 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.

williamc Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 It should come out,, make sure you have all the bolts out, one could just be a thread or 2 in and stoping you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceReaper Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 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).

GunRunner Posted January 11, 2014 Author Share Posted January 11, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceReaper Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 (edited) 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.

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.

GunRunner Posted January 11, 2014 Author Share Posted January 11, 2014 (edited) 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. Edited January 11, 2014 by GunRunner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceReaper Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AceReaper Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 (edited) 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.

GunRunner Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamc Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 can you take a pic of the bucking. the bucking is what holds the bb in place till is it fired basicaly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunRunner Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
