accuracy problem
« on: February 25, 2008, 07:57:13 PM »
I have tried several different settings on the hop up and have checke the barell best as I can. It doesn't seem to that but the rounds get out about 50 foot and begin to curve left. Any suggestions on what it could be?

Tried searching but didn't find anything that would explain it.

Thanks in advance

Make sure the barrel is properly centered at the top.

The nub could be slightly off.

Try rolling it across a glass surface to see if it's bent.

It seems to be straight. I tried what you said using an old window and rolling it across it.

I don't know much about them so I have to ask, what nub?

I hope that didn't sound stupid.

 :(

'Nub' is the clinical term for the thing that creates the bump inside the bucking that causes the backspin.

If it's not perfectly at top dead center, it will cause issues.
