Securing barrel?

[Hyper_Harley]

After fixing my aa sa80, its all fine but the barrel keeps moving forward which causes the gun to jam, how do i secure it to the hop up?

Re: Securing barrel?

whats moving?
the actual barrel... or the whole hop unit. if its thebarrel have you remembered to put the c-clip back in on the hop unit?

Re: Securing barrel?

whats the c clip? all i got is an olive? and its the barrel moving in and out of the hop up

Its hard to explain without a picture.
But the c clip secures the barrel to the hop unit.
If it isnt there then every time you fire the barrel is probably coming out of the hop unit correct?

What make SA80 is it?

i just looked on google images, i think i threw it away thinking it was nothing lol! cheers for the help bud, any idea of where to get a new one?

Thats your c clip.

As for finding one id say you will be lucky altough they are on every AEG barrel there design differs from make to make.
Try posting a wanted ad in the spares section.
