A&K Masada Troubles

[Skiddy]

I recently purchased an A&K Masada used). He stated that the gun was firing but needed a new loading nozzle. I then replaced the loading nozzle and hoping that the gun would fire, but sadly it didn't. I took it to my local gun doc, and he said that everything is fine with the gearbox but he doesn't know if it's the hop up unit. I'm too hesitant to purchase a new cnc hop up and have the gun not fire. What would be my best course of action without me losing a crap ton of monies?

Find a better gun doc.

If I'm right, this is a local kid with the Masada, and the gun doc is me.

The A&K Masada is one of the worst gun designs I've seen, and there are almost no replacement parts for it, since it's a proprietary design. The hopup unit as it is probably doesn't even provide any hop effect, and the lever is so loose and poorly designed that the hopup nub can fall out. My best guess is that the nozzle isn't making a seal with the hopup rubber, but after testing with the outer barrel on, outer barrel off with just the hop unit and inner attached, pressing the hop unit into the mechbox manually at different angles, trying a new hop rubber, nothing helps.

I told him I don't know if that gun can be saved. He could try a new nozzle (if they even make any aftermarket ones), but I'm not sure if that would help. It could possibly just be a result of such poor tolerances that it doesn't work. I told him that he should avoid it, and he bought it anyway, used.

I have an ares g36, which is another gun known for proprietary crap, and I had weird feeling issues too, and you know what fixed it? Entirely new parts. What you should do is buy a new hop up, see if it fixes it, if not get a new nozzle too.

So it won't feed into the hop up chamber?

And is the hop up or feed tube stock or aftermarket?

And styrak at least two companies make aftermarket hopups nozzles and feed tubes....

wii tech has parts for it.. check airsoftdepot.

[Styrak]

I know that Wii Tech made feed tubes, he has one.

Anyway, if you bought
a new Wii Tech nozzle: http://airsoftdepot.ca/catalog/produ...oducts_id=1782
And a new Wii Tech hop unit with all the new parts and arm:http://airsoftdepot.ca/catalog/produ...oducts_id=1730

It may help, since I assume they were made to be compatible with each other.

Sounds like you guys are speaking different languages.

The 'perfect project gun" broken by someone, stuffed in the box and the resold to someone so new to airsoft and so enthralled they have to buy a shitter gun right now today. Soon to be for sale again.
