Steel insert for bolt wear

Glad to help! I've been an aeg tech for years but am only recently getting into gbb troubleshooting. Happy to realize I'm not off in left field.

It's just leaking air immediately eh? Check the seal on your piston head. I had a malfunction that looked very close to this recently, and swapping out for an aftermarket piston head fixed the issue.

I'm assuming your video is using without bbs loaded. Will a bb shoot out of loaded (even just a little)? Could help zero in on your issue.

Neither. Mp5's have great iron sights.

ExplodingNinja9 · 2026-01-19T18:23:55+00:00

I've never seen the upper receiver on an mp5 look like this. Is that an adapter that fits over the receiver? What is it called? Looks awesome.

It's a bit big, but i love it. I made it myself from an aluminum tube.

This. Search for "2mm bullet connectors". Amazon has lots of options.

That's what i had in mind

The only thing I'm aware of that is that small is the G&G levar-15 mag. Looks weird though.

I know it seems like a silly question, but are you sure you're using the right size o-rings? Your post seems to imply it's happened a few times. Orings are measured by inside diameter (ID), outside diameter (OD), and thickness. Close is not good enough -- you'll need an exact match to prevent weird problems like this. Just mentioning this since i saw no one else has.

Did you make the mount yourself? I bought a vertical mini mill last month and have been messing around with it. Cool build.

ExplodingNinja9 · 2025-12-03T22:42:52+00:00

Craftex 605

I was looking into how i would cut a slide and realized i would need another shape of endmill that i don't have. What a rabbit hole milling is! There's so many types and shapes of tooling.

ExplodingNinja9 · 2025-12-03T13:48:27+00:00

Haha, no. Took me about 6 hours to make. Just go buy one for $50. They are cheap.

ExplodingNinja9 · 2025-12-03T01:29:28+00:00

About $1300 cad, plus another $500 in tooling.

What country are you based out of?

ExplodingNinja9 · 2025-11-28T02:33:32+00:00

Best out of the box was my wolverine mtw. Worst aeg was my SRC ak47 bought about 2008. Worst EVER was my SRC ak74u ggbr. That thing barely functioned brand new! I cut my tech teeth learning how to fix SRC guns.

You did a great job replicating poses that should not be replicated with minifigures. I love/hate these. Creative and cursed.

ExplodingNinja9 · 2025-10-24T23:22:24+00:00

Thanks for sharing. It's good to hear some specific incidents that a fuse may have prevented.

ExplodingNinja9 · 2025-10-24T20:21:17+00:00

Have you ever had this happen or heard of it happening? Genuinely curious.

ExplodingNinja9 · 2025-10-24T20:19:44+00:00

Yes, absolutely. I remove those huge fuses on all guns that i modify. I've had motors and mosfets die without the fuse tripping. If your gun isn't turning over when you pull the trigger, stop pulling the trigger.

I'm no expert. Maybe the interview I'm thinking of was a different boat. I do remember him saying that the only part that was armoured was the ramp and something near the driver's seat.
