My spring rifle broke.
« on: June 10, 2005, 01:02:01 PM »
Ok first of all i have a toystar sr-16. The problem is that when i pull back on the charging handle it wont bo back forward. it just stays in the same place.

It almost seems like there is no spring to pull the handle back into place.
I am also letting you guys know that it wont fire when it does this.

The place where the spring locks on may have cracked off, or the spring may be stretched out.  It's a springer, those things aren't too durable.  Take it to JT, maybe they can fix it.

Then get the best springer you can I suppose.

(Don't worry about people giving you grief for owning a springer, I have one too) ;)

this is one of the best springers. I can easily pick off targets roughly 150 ft away.

Why don't your buddies like AEGs? Can't afford them?

they think that they are cheap. they think that if I have basically a full auto version of their guns that it will give me an unfair advantage.

You haven't lived until you skirmish with a springer.

I agree, five of my friends and I started out with springer and I still cary a springer sidearms on the field. It's funny to see the look on someones face when they get nailed with a springer.

I started out with a Glock 26c. Never owned, or shot a springer in almost 4 years of airsofting, now.

I don't think you'll get too many helpful hints here.. hardly anyone knows about springers. But if you can, good for you.

Ok. I know what is wrong. there is a small spring that pulls the handle back into place that broke. I am going to get it fixed and also put a m100 spring into it :). tell me if this is a good idea or not.
