I recently picked up a used ICS M16 (Thanks again, Psycho). As I was fully aware at the time of purchase, the gun was non-functioning. The primary reason for this was a stripped spur gear. Due to this, I decided to make multiple inexpensive upgrades while replacing the gears. Unfortunately, after I had the rifle fully assembled, the tappet plate would not properly cycle. It appears as if the tappet plate will start in the forward position (fully seated into the hop-up unit), but after the first shot the nozzle will not return to this position. My first thought was that the tappet was binding between the sector gear and the gearbox shell; however, when i close the gearbox (before firing it) i'm able to easily push the nozzle in and the spring easily pushes it back out. Additionally, it seems like every time I open the rifle, the gears are facing up which is pulling back the tappet plate. My first thought was that I was dealing with over-spin; however, that seems highly unlikely on such a strong spring with a stock motor. I've scoured the internet and I have not been able to find this specific issue. My part list is below. Gears: ZCI 13:1 Motor: ICS 3000 Mosfet: Nukefet Battery: 3000mah 7.4V (20C) (also tried 1000 mah 11.1v 20C) Spring: Guarder M120 (also tried stock spring) Cut-Off Lever: Stock (I assume) ARL: ICS (stock) Tappet Plate: SHS V2 Nozzel: SHS AK (long) Cylinder Head: SHS V2

As some of you guys know, today my Elite Force midcap magazines did not want to feed.. it has nothing to do with them not fitting correctly in my gun (A&K Masada) because they do very well. What is happening is that the bb's I'm using (Bioval .25's) are double stacking themselves in the mags before they get the feeding tip. Is there anyway I can combat this? Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to put any silicone oil before the game, so it may be that. But any other suggestions as to why they could be doing that? Any help would be great! I bought these brand new and today was the first game I've used them, so I'm bummed they didn't work..
