08 Slg going into full auto

Bushlite5247 · 10-19-2008, 08:20 PM

I was testing my slg out before going to play this weekend. And when I screwed the tank in it would go in to full auto then stop. I would pull the trigger and it would shoot 4 or 5 shots in a row. Tried adding more lube didn't help.

So I took a look at the sear and the spring was weak. I stretched it out a little and fixed my problem. Has anyone else run into this issue?

yea the same thing happened with my pmr...try reducing the sensitivity on the trigger electronically...refer to the manual cuz im not familiar with that on the slg...also try loosening the screws on the trigger a bit...espesially the one that controls how close it is to the "firing point"

push the cocking button on the back of the gun. and increase debounce.

Thanks for the posts. But my point was the bolt was skipping right over the sear. And i steached out the spring that holds the sear up. I was wondering if any one else had to do this also.

Yes,

Several people have reported issues with the sear spring, or sear spring replacements, in cases were their SLGs just went full auto.

Dont mean to be a pest, but doesnt the slg seem to have lots of problems? Well they shoot good, but they had the short bolts (rollback) and now the spring problems... imo

Yes, my slg went full auto for no reason, I had to send it back to Dye 2 times to figure out and fix the issue. I went from thinking it had too much lube on the bolt, perhaps lube on the sear, replacing the sear and spring, reseting the eyes, reseting the board, bad battery, and possible noid issues. It turned out that the factory actually installed the wrong orings on the bolt causing it to go full auto for no reason. I have not gone out to play since I got it back from Dye, but Dye said that they shot 1,000 rounds through it and it worked just fine. I shot 200 rounds in my back yard and it had no issues. Guess what, when I checked the bolt after Dye sent it back it back to me it had "lots of lube" on on the bolt, so not sure what to make of the other threads on using too much lube, but I would stay away from getting lube on the sear. Good luck with your SLG!
