Double feeding, jamming....

[ginnz]

so ive been researching this as much as i can, and all i can find is few posts recommending changing the bucking, and or hopup. would this be he sole cause of this problem, or are there other variables that contribute to chronic bad feeding (of the bb's:-)) in an AEG?

for example, could a bad nozzle, or mag spring be a cause of his as well?

thanks for any info,

Dirty barrel , hopup bucking , mags.
Defective/non-functioning hopup , mag , mag catch , nozzle , tappet plate.
Poorly installed hopup , tappet plate mag catch.
Wrong nozzle or hopup installed.
Missing hopup springs (pushes hopup back into gearbox on some aeg's)
Gearbox alignment - Gearbox is misaligned or is too big/small for proper alignment.
I think that covers it but I could have missed something. There are alot of factors with missfeeding and fps spikes. Alot depends on the model/brand of aeg when determining the cause.

double feeding can be loose piston too. Great list man, I hope this helps the OP.

man, that was an awesome reply....seriously.

now i like working on the guns, and have NO problem taking the box all apart, putting it back together, but i KNOW there is an art to rebuilding a gun, i mean, its easy to throw parts in, and put it back together.... but sometimes, even after a small upgrade i notice its not even up to par from before the upgrade.

so ill yank it back apart and rebuild it, being real carefull around the hop-up, ect.... then it'll be better. and without knowing what the problem was.... thats the thing, id like to know what fixed it!

but i suppose, like any hobby, itll take time to learn these finer points... and your post was an awesome reply as in the amount of time it would take to figure that all out on ones own, well, it could be 30 rebuilds...!

thanks again!

I always find it best to isolate the problems. If its a jam or a failure to feed always start with the simple things and move out from there. There is nothing worse then taking apart a gearbox , reassembling it multiple times only to find out the mag was not functioning properly.
Start with the mags and hopup as they are the easiest to get too. After that you can look at how the nozzle is operating with the hopup. It will give you an idea if its an alignment or function issue.
It will take time but after you have worked on a few aegs you will start picking more little stuff up.
