hacking up my sg1 spring. need guidance.

trigger · June 17th, 2005, 20:07

those of you who have had the unfortunate luck of wandering too close to the muzzle of my cetme (g3 sg1) know all to well that it shoots fairly hot. too hot. in an attempt to get my bleeder giving habits under control im thinking of cutting my spring down a bit to reduce the fps to a more humane level. it usually shoots about 410-415 on a hot day and i only want to drop it by about 20 fps. so here's the question,

how do i dissassemble my g3 sg1 to get to the spring, and then once that is done are there any particular things i should do in cutting it to prevent jams/malfunctions?

open up the g3 one and find all the answers! when you chop the spring (1-2 active coils) make sure you heat the end and make it flat again, this allows it to rotate freely as youre firing. or hell, i can do it for you.

Be very very very careful with the selector switch screw. The thing is tiny and easily lost (just ask katey

)
