M14 V.7 Gearbox problem

Doc · August 24th, 2008, 02:52

hi,

i have a TM M14 socom that one day decided to stop firing. i opened it up and found it blew the fuse.

i thought it was weird, so insted of just swaping the fuse, i opened up the gearbox and found a plastic piece the gearbox snaped in half. i dont know what the piece is called. i was hoping you guys would. it was under the piston and it held a thin spring. im trying to find a replacement to get my m14 running again. just need what its called so i can order one.

yup. Tappet plate. I just managed to break/replace mine in my SOCOM 16 a few weeks ago.

Thankfully tappets are relatively inexpensive.
