I've replaced almost every part of the A-5 and still haven't had luck. The problem continues to be that the gun will not recock. I've done the following in order to try and troubleshoot:
I've done some research but I don't know what else to do. My only thought is that it might be a weak drive spring? However, I think mine is actually fairly new as I bought a parts kit not too long ago. What should be the length of this spring? Any way to check and see if it's providing enough tension? The gun is not missing any parts and nothing is broken. I've spent so much money trying to get the A-5 to work and still have no luck. Ideas are much appreciated. -------------

Do you have a stock on your A5? Sometimes the hole that the drive
spring goes into on the stock is to deep so there is not enough tension
on the drive spring for it to recock. If this is the problem you can
put a BB or ball-bearing into the hole. Try putting the original lower receiver back onto the gun and see what happens. Mike ------------- DON'T FIX IT IF IT ISN'T BROKEN! |
