Sounds like that’s a part that shouldn’t be messed with.After some tweaking to the gun i found out what this part does, for who wants to know. It basically giving a mechanical delay(timing) to the hammer and pellet probe. Otherwise the hammer hits the valve before the pellet probe is fully locked in. Pretty smart idea and works well. There is a spring pushing the plate up that you can adjust so maybe you can play with the timing (rate of fire), but i have to give that a closer look a other time.
Brilliant...Do you think this could be the cause of some of the full auto failures? Also you mentioned that it could be adjusted. Is it adjusted by screw? Man...after thinking about it I now wonder if this spring gets weak causing most of the mysterious fails, especially the the blitz fails with that farting sound on full auto. I'm going to double the spring to test it out.
