Ariakon Sim-4 Issue

pbraly · 03-30-2008, 11:40 PM

I have purchased a used Ariakon Sim-4 off Ebay...I know first mistake.. I have been having an issue with low performance, and ball chopping. and spit firing.

I have found several parts missing, which I have replaced. All the o-rings replaced and oiled, new velocity spring, deterent spring new, I have the performance back up, but I am still getting ball chopping, and spit firing about every sixth pull. I have pulled this thing apart, and all looks right.

so throw out those ideas..Thanks

Check the trigger sear, make sure it's in good condition and not chipped or excessivly worn down. Can you be alittle more specific w/ preformance issues. (Low FPS?)

Check the detent, and also check the paint you're using. If it's too large for your barrel, or if it's too brittle (try dropping it from waist height...if it breaks on a solid surface, it might be too brittle for a SIM-4) you'll have issues that taking your gun apart won't solve.
