Trigger Clicking

zReaperAssassin · October 28th, 2017, 22:53

Hey everyone,
I have upgraded my intervals in my VFC Gearbox (V2), however when all put back together and placed in the lower, it makes a clicking noise on semi, with no battery attached or anything.
Basically, when I go from safe to semi, it’s almost as if the safety is still on and it needs some pressure to release, then it makes a clicking noise each pull.

When going from semi to full, it squeezes or pulls like it normally should.

When going back from full to semi, it has a tiny resistance, but pulls okay.

Then going from semi to safe it locks like normal, then the cycle repeats every time the sector is switched.

Any ideas on what to look for when opening this up when I’m free? Is it the mechanics safety lever? The trigger shuttle? Cut off lever?

Thanks in advance folks!

Have you tried actually cycling it on auto? Does it go away?

Worst upgrade ever.

Sounds like the cutoff lever. Take it all apart and start again. Change one thing at a time till if you zero in on the click. And don't put the mechbox back in till it's 100%.

Upgrading a gearbox is rarely a plug and play experience.

I had this happen. It just means you need to cycle the gears so that the cutoff lever and the safety are in sync with the selector plate. If you can plug it in and it shoots no problem on full then on semi then you don't have to worry about it. This happens when doing work on a gearbox sometimes.

Without any other details, it does sound like you assembled the mechbox with the sector gear's detent resting directly on the cutoff lever.
Cycle it in auto, then try semi.

It's for when they REALLY want to get a point across. :tup:

I'm just glad we are in agreement.

Thanks for the info guys! I took the gearbox out, and it seemed to be the cut off lever making the problem. However, I just decided it would be better in the long run for the gun to just buy a GATE Titan lol, so that’s otw now!

Nothing like throwing $200-$250 at the problem...
