Vfc hk417 trigger problem

[desolation91]

I seem to have a problem with my trigger, I have to pull it right back to make the gun work and sometimes doesn't shoot at all and some times I have to hold it pulled back to make it shoot.

Burnt/worn trigger contacts seems to be common on that gun

Bugger. Can they be cleaned or is it a replacement needed?

Maybe able to clean them up but box has to come apart so while there I would replace them for £ to work ratio!
Trouble is you need to strip gearbox to see

Shouldn't be worn then? Unless your using 11.1 lipo? With no MOSFET.

Its over a year old but I don't get to play much so it's only seen 4 or 5 game days, my site is single shot too so it's had alot of trigger pulling.

Sounds like you may have to strip it then,
maybe someone else along with more thoughts on the issue.
Good luck

Re: Vfc hk417 trigger problem

They do have quite a reputation for trigger contact issues and semi-auto does burn through contacts rather more quickly. A high discharge 7.4v lipo can cause serious arcing problems, leading to the trigger contacts burning out.

Open it up and have a look at the trigger contacts; alternatively, take it to your friendly local airsoft tech.

Ill open her up and have a look. Will it be obvious if they are burnt?

Oh yes; they will either be very dirty or somewhat non-existent!
