Puzzled over my ICS Sig 551 miss feeding?

TaroBear · April 2nd, 2012, 12:24

I'm goin to have to go with Styrak here. I used to stand by my ICS until I got my GG. Miles different.

I had a similar problem, in fact the exact problem. In my case what I found out was that the nozzle was not lined up exactly straight in the hop up. The nozzle was off a bit to one side touching the top part of the hop up, I changed the piston head and added a sector gear delayer and the problem was fixed.
Hope that helps, good luck with it.

Ok, I'll try changing the piston head. Haven't done that yet. Done the delayer though.

Eureka! I changed the piston to a longer nozzle-with sorbo pad, and switched the nozzle to a new Sig nozzle. Now she shoots 375 fps with .25's consistently. Thank you Doubleagent for pointing that out. It solved the problem

I must opened up that gearbox at least 12 times. And fiddled with the hop up at least 20 times. I'm so excited I think I'll go play with myself now.

@Kozzie: Yes, I saw a Youtube video where they compared TM vs ICS gearboxes, and everything but the nozzle and hammer were the same. The TM plunger had holes in it and the ICS nozzle was longer.

So in summary, does anyone sell mid or lo cap mags for ICS Sigs?

@Shocktr00per,
I discovered this guy and he gets me pretty much any part i need from ICS, so I know he can get those lo-cap with fake bullets or Hicap mags. Seeing as you are from USA, I don't know whether you can get the fake bullet mags in or not. In Canada we can't get them through customs so I didn't bother. In any case the parts may not show up on the website but just contact them...they contact you again by email and you just have to ask. Anddd shipping usually only takes 5 days from china. Try it out, you won't be sorry. Oh, and I'm not related or a friend, just love the service.

I had another problem with the ICS not shooting. After putting on the hand guards, it shot like shit again. I discovered the weight of the hand guards angled the outer barrel downwards by a minuscule amount that it made a difference in the nozzle lining up properly with the hop up. Thus causing the gun not to shoot properly. Once I put a "gear shim" under the outer barrel, its shooting great in semi and full auto.
