CA M14 Match Shooting Problems

Try charging that battery on a higher setting like 1.8A then see.

Thats the plan, it's been on the discharger for awhile now and waiting for it to finish with my fingers crossed! But the guy who did the upgrades stated he had the same problem when he was test firing it and he charged it on two occasions so I think the battery might be cooked.

[Spa]

for a 2400maH should the current charge be 2.4? i know for higher capacities you devide by 1000 to get teh current charge but for anything lower then 2000maH it changes??? hmm

[The Saint]

His charger only has 0.3A and 1.8A, though. My NPT charger only has 0.9A and 1.8A, but it works fine as long as I'm using 1.8A for anything over 2100mah.

[Drache]

Well I plugged the battery in this morning and the charger won't even register the battery being there so yes, I destroyed the battery it seems. One $40 learning project but a good one none the less. The other 2400mAH battery should be here shortly and the 3300mAH should be here within the week.

[The Saint]

I don't see how charging your battery on 0.3A would destroy it, especially since you managed to charge it on that setting before.

[Drache]

All I know is that I discharged it during the night, went to plug it in this morning, and the charger wouldn't recognize the battery. A little light comes on when the battery is hooked up. I tried it with another battery for my AK and the light came on.

Ok it IS a problem with my trigger assembly. The gun stopped firing so I took the trigger assembly off. When I pulled the nob inside the gun which the trigger is supposed to connect to, the gun fires fine without problem.

I talk to the guy who did the upgrades and he just seems to think that I can fix it myself. I've tried everything but everytime I put the trigger assembly back into the gun, it won't work, so obviously the trigger isn't pushing that knob far enough ahead to engage the gun.

Try carefully first examining the contact block, if one side or both is a little worn, carefully bend the 2 lodes that it pushes into closer together and try that

[Drache]

If you mean the piece of plastic that fits over that knob you can't bend it since it's solid plastic.

ok here's my trigger assembly:

oh boy, my bad, M14 trigger assembly is way different from other versions

but doesnt that trigger push in a connector to close the circuit? that would be where ur problem lies, I had that problem with my ICS, again, it might be way different.

[Drache]

I know that is where the problem lies but damned if I can do anything about it. I'm getting kinda upset with the guy who did the upgrades. He knew about this problem when he sent it back.

[Drache]

Well so much for the milsim on august 5th....

Don't give up yet, you've got over a week.

So the trigger is suppose to actuate that lever in the left hand side? And when you pull it manually, it works fine both in auto and semi?

Can you please post a picture of the other side of your trigger assembly? And a scan of the exploded diagram from the manual, please.
