King Arms Thompson M1A1

[Cifyra]

Hey,

My Thompson M1A1 just arrived today, and there are 2 things that I'd like to address. First is the orange tip that's glued onto the regular tip. I tried to remove the orange tip by using a hairdryer on it and prying them apart. However, because of the excessive glue they used, the black paint stuck to the orange tip revealing a grey layer which I assume is the primer. In addition, bits of the silver aluminum at the bottom is showing. How would I go about repairing it?

Second, There is a "click" everytime I pull the trigger on semi auto, and only semi auto. On full auto, the trigger pull is smooth. Is this normal?

First question: I think a little sandpaper and some flat black paint is all you need.

Second Question: If you are using the trigger without electricity then you may feel a click in semi unless the gearbox actually is turning (has electricity) and then it should be smooth after the first pull.

Thanks. Krylon flat black should be fine right?
