Boba Debt 350 Posted August 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Just bustin your chops man. I just wanted to the see the pup in action. ALL new builds have to be tweaked. No worries. I just didn't know if you needed a picture of the disconnector to figure out what was wrong. Once I get it running I'll try to get some video of it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MT Predator 2,294 Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 Once I have modified my second Bull Pup I will offer this rail on a very limited basis, there is a lot of work to make it fit and it requires 2 different rails so the material cost is high. I wonder if there is a way to buy the separate pieces needed to do this conversion? That way you are not stuck with the other two quadrail halves. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That way you are not stuck with the other two quadrail halves. If you mean "buy them from UTG" the answer is no I talked at length with them and to do it that way you would have to buy 1000 pieces. However I am in the process of buying the raw extrusion for the center section. Once I get all the details worked out I should have enough material to do 20 rails. This would do 2 things. 1. It would give me a center section that covers the entire gas system which would look better. 2. I would be able to sell the bottom of the S-12 Rail with the standard length upper rail and could recoup part of the cost, which could be passed on to the people that wanted to get the rail components from me.

BuffetDestroyer 969 Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 Regarding the disconnector... Try readjusting the hammer spring. My Saiga had the same issue and it just needed some bending and adjustment to make it work. Once the spring was put in place, it was fine. I keep a spare just in case.

Boba Debt 350 Posted August 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 (edited) I couldn’t get a stock sling to work so I made a simple one from one of my UTG slings The rifle hangs from my shooting shoulder and lays right against my body. I have it adjusted so the pistol grip is right at my hand It also stores well: Edited August 4, 2010 by Boba Debt 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boba Debt 350 Posted August 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 I was able to get the rifle to 100% reliability during dry firing. I'll test it at the range tomorrow. To get the safety to work I had to reduce the length of the tail by about 1/32' and I had to notch the right side. To get the disconnector to work I had to replace most of the FCG and Hammer Group with Tapco parts and I used the spring from my S-410. This got it to about 50% reliability. Then I had to polish all of the contact points which seems to have completely fixed it. I'll know more tomorrow once I actually shoot it I contacted Century to see if they will compensate me for the parts. It will be interesting to see how they handle this.

Boba Debt 350 Posted August 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 I shot this today and it functioned fine for one mag. The second mag developed the same disconnector issue. I guess I will have to send it back to Century. I think it's shitty that I have to pay the shipping to send them a defective gun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You are not the first and certainly will not be the last to pay for shit they should cover. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
David Mark 2,452 Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 You plan on sending that gun back to Century for a warranty service or refund? After all the "modifications" you did? Now, I am no big fan of Century, but I'm afraid you mat have voided any warranty. Can't wait to read that thread. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Please tell me how a quad rail voids a warrenty? And you can really impress me by explaining how the quad rail is making the disconnctor stick. It really is a mute point though, I can make return it to the factory configuration in less the 30 minutes. Edited August 10, 2010 by Boba Debt Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Boba Debt 350 Posted August 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 (edited) I started a thread to discuss the disconnector issue in the tech support forum. Edited August 13, 2010 by Boba Debt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boba Debt 350 Posted August 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 (edited) This rifle is completely done. I added a small section to the middle area of the quad rail, behind the main section that the top rail is mounted to. This gives the rail a more finished look. I also tuned up the entire rifle and it doesn't seem to have any disconnector issues when dry firing. I'll know more when I shoot it this week end.

BpS12 512 Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 I had some issues with the disconnector as well, Switching out to the trigger wire to a small coated cable eliviated the issue. I think the wire creates just enough drag to stall the hammer enough so that the disconnector hangs up. If the FCG doesn't "rock" enough, it can't function properly. Just a thought, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boba Debt 350 Posted August 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 Well the gun performed flawlessly today. 60 rounds and not a single issue. Plus my scope worked really well over short distances (15-50 yards) I think I'll take it to the range tomorrow and sight it in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AZ Gun Nut 8 Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 Boba: Your ingenuity never ceases to amaze me. You do some really slick shit. I also admire the way you build what YOU like, not really worrying about other's comments. Keep up the great work!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
