Its something wrong with my HiCap I believe, I just fired a full clip with my normal clip and it had no missfeeds or crap shots...
Anyone know what I should do to fix my HiCap feeding problem? (I.E. Shave more off) |

| The bucking that came with it is a POS. I had a spare stock Marui that I swapped in and now it works better. |

| On an other note: how does one remove the barrel from the plastic outer barrel? |

| If you haven't shaved out the flashider so the barrel can pass through it, you have to take the 4 screws out and carefully pry the back end of the outer barrel apart until the inner barrel comes out. It'll sort of shoot out the back, don't lose the spring. Once you shave out the flashider so the barrel can pass through, you'll be able to take the barrel out without taking it apart like that. Once you get it out, you'll see how the hopup unit connects to the outer barrel. If that doesn't make any sense, I'll try and take pictures. |

if you think somthing if wrong with ur highcap.. just try and run a few loads through the clip, like load it up, spin it, than pull back on the bb-release... i know it's a biatch to do it with ur finger, but i'd recomend it. i had to run my clip thorugh a bunch because i used some of my friend's bbs.. which little did i know he recycled and they had parts of leaves, grime, and dirt all over them.. worst mistake ever
also when the bb's reach the top of the nozzle thing, you have to roll the wheel about 5-6 time after for it to work properly... at least thats how mine works |

Its not my HiCap itself, but I think I either shaved too much from the feeding tube, or not enough...
My HiCap is functioning properly but just not feeding into the gun correctly.
Anyone know if i've shaved too much/too little? |

is a really easy thing to do with metal putty
makes it damn near indestructable
nothing too special, but since i havent seen anyone post a grey/black XM8 i decided to show mine
http://img150.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dscf26993tr.jpg
Mine actually came with the tabs broken. Rather than send the gun back, I just decided to fix it up myself.
I epoxied a piece of Lexan onto the inside of the upper receiver to keep it from breaking off again.
http://www.rpi.edu/~hattok/Airsoft/XM8%20Repair/DSCN1346.JPG
For the lower receiver, I epoxied the piece that was still with the gun back on, then used a thin piece of plastic to fill in the part that was missing.
http://www.rpi.edu/~hattok/Airsoft/XM8%20Repair/DSCN1341.JPG
The lower receiver repair didn't hold when I put the gun back together, so I think I'm gonna epoxy another piece of lexan onto the upper receiver as a brace to keep the parts from pulling back off of the lower receiver. If anyone has a better idea, that would be most welcome, I'm gonna fix it up in the next couple days when I have the time. |

ed -
look for PC brand metal epoxy
you mix it and it hardens to a metal-like substance hours after application
just use that to strengthen the tabs
i thought i would just attach a piece of aluminum to it
http://img423.imageshack.us/img423/2969/dscf17558lf.jpg
but that just strengthens the vertical stresses
still very weak laterally, which the epoxy fixes
loads of lateral stress when you put in and remove the stock pins

| Will I be able to coat the side of the tab with the metal epoxy and still slide the stock on? I guess I was relying on the fact that the stock is there to negate the stress from putting the pin in, which does work, but I forgot that when the gun's hanging from a sling it throws all kinds of wierd stresses on the stuff. |

ed - just apply the putty to the INNER part of the tabs
just stick the stock pin in and see what areas are fillable
if ya want a test run you can just use that elmer-tack stuff and do a trial-fill
gen -
im assuming ya shaved off too much?
strip the gun, stick the mag in and see if it feeds
you can also view the feeding tube better like that
that highlighter trick posted earlier is a good way of lengthening the feeding tube if you indeed did shave off too much
oh
and
look ma! no logos!

I was not able to do the highlighter thing today, but maybe I can in the near future.
I did however proceed to reverse the wiring and apply large plugs without buying anything!
I used a large female(I think) off my charger from another gun (I have a smart charger so no need for it) and took the large male from an old 4.8v battery...
Its working just as planned! |
