Vous vous apprêtiez à solder votre épargne pour investir dans le Barrett M107 conçu par MadBull / Socom Gear ? Cet article va peut-être remettre en question votre décision. Le distributeur a en effet diffusé auprès des revendeurs et acquéreurs un communiqué relatif à certains problèmes remontés par le premier lot de répliques.

Ces anomalies concernent en particulier le « culot » des étuis qui a tendance à se dévisser, il est donc recommandé de vérifier ce point à chaque rechargement. Des versions renforcées seront distribués via les revendeurs. Par ailleurs, la marque recommande la lubrification régulière de certaines parties de la réplique. Vous retrouverez toutes ces infos ci-dessous dans le communiqué (en anglais).

Malgré ce que l’on va qualifier comme des problèmes de jeunesse (qui devraient être corrigées dans les prochains lots), le distributeur rappelle le caractère exceptionnel de la réplique, de par son design et son mécanisme. Son développement a pris 3 ans et 200 000 $ d’investissement !

Maintenance for SOCOMGEAR Barrett M107 GBB

Background story

SOCOMGEAR Barrett M107 is designed by a famous Taiwan Airsoft engineer, Mr. Trender. He previously designed AK airsoft AEG, SOCOMGEAR M82 AEG, and Cheytec M200. Due to limited resources, we spent almost 3 years and around 200K USD R&D cost on this M107 GBB project. There are a lot of unique and revolutionary designs in this GBB. First, this is the biggest Gas Blow Back GBB in the world. It’s definitely not easy to cycle the big and heavy bolt. Second, No-firing pin and primer design. We all know some players try to convert Airsoft gun to be a lethal weapon. Our design is very unique. There is no firing pin and primer! (Patented) Third, the heavy recoil and great velocity. The unique bullet design can provide enough energy to both recoil and bullet velocity (8mm BB at 250 ft/sec. Around 1.5 joule.) (Patented)

Maintenance and possible technical issues

1. Loose and broken bullet brass:
   If you find the rear part of brass (red color section in the graphic below) is coming off (threads), please tighten it again. We recommend you to check every shot. A little bit of blue Loctite will help. If the rear part is loose, you will break it after several shots. We found out this problem and will provide a reinforcement version to all the dealers at no cost.
2. Lubricate the gun before operation:
   We lubricate every single gun before we ship it out. However, the oil may dry out during the shipping. You have to lubricate your gun before operation. Here are some important parts need to be lubricated.
3. Slamfire and Full auto shooting
   If you find out your gun slamfire or go full auto, please check the following parts.
   • (A) The rod (red color section in the graphic below) is stuck in the barrel chamber. Please apply lubricant and press the rod several times to make sure the rod is function well.
   • (B) If step (A) didn’t improve the rod’s function, please loosen the 2 screws on the top. If these screws are too tight, it will cause small tolerance with great friction to the rod.
4. Hard time to install and uninstall magazine.
   The original design is tight-fit between the magazine and lower receiver. You have to add lubricant on the following 2 sections in the graphic and repeat the “install / uninstall” operation at least 30 times.
