Also I managed to get power to the motor outside the gun, by touching the contacts on the stock against the lower reciever without the upper, so I can see what's going on and it looks like the gears are trying to pull the piston back even more when it should be done cycling.

I'm asking for confirmation that messing with the ARL help in this case?

Again last think I want is to F**k this up... obviously.

Thanks for the quick replies again!
Yes your piston has to go back just a little more and then it will release, it is not quite done cycling yet. Or you can try to release the ARL.

I keep an 11.1v lipo handy for such tasks. If it doesn't release the piston, then I usually can say there is something wrong.
