CA Scar stuck on Autofire

MagnumPeanut · May 29th, 2008, 12:28

My Scar last night started to fire and would not stop. I had to pull the battery to make it stop! I started to mess with it and smoetimes it was ok on semi but then would start going crazy again. I noticed before that when I had it on auto sometimes it would keep fireing for a sec or 2 when I stopped pulling the trigger but last night was crazy. Any suggestions. Only things I tried was a different battery with no luck. I took it apart last night and couldn't find anything obvious. I messed around with the lager standard screw under the motor and it seemed to change things a bit, does that have anything to do with it?

Suggestions.

Here is another question then, does anyone have a or know of a teardown for the CA Scar. I may need to get into the actual gearbox as I have been warned by M102404 that it may be a short in there!

Shouldn't there be instructions inside the manual?

So far I've managed to strip it down to the lower receiver and can't get the gear box out. From Saint's link he generously provided (even though I'm guilty for lipping him off in the recent past) I guess I have to just try harder, I was scared of forcing it as I don't want to break it. Although I've managed to completely screw up the fire selectors but I guess those too can be aligned once the gear box is out. Wish me lucks.

oh, just out of curiosity, why did you leave the battery plugged when the gun was not in use?

Try removing all body pins and the mag catch. Then remove the motor plate at the bottom of the pistol handle and pop out the motor. Inside the grip should be 2 screws holding the pistol grip to the bottom of the mechbox. Remove those should allow the mechbox to exit the lower receiver.

Um...not the case. Don't know where you read that. Gun started shooting out of control while on the field dude.

Oops, my apology. I thought that you were not using your gun at that night, but apparently you could still play a game at night time.

Sorry, man. My bad.

I have no experience with CA SCAR, but with VFC SCAR. I wish that I can tell you more.

Even though this a VFC product, I'd assume that they should be fairly simialar. This should help you with the process of field stripping your gun.

Well. It seems to be working now. I managed to pull the gear box out. Could not find a short though. I got the fire selectors lined up and it now seems to be working? Guess I'll find out next game day how well. For your info guys its a major pain in the bum bum to remove the mech box from the lower receiver. You need 2 flat screw drivers on each side to warp the receiver so the fire selectors can pass by the gears on the mechbox without hanging it up, big time frustrating. Other than that this gun is a tank man.
