OPAP double feed issues


Recommended Posts

Bought my son a Yugo OPAP from Cheaper than dirt a few months ago

 

Received it with a nice split in the handguard....oh well....under $600

Noticed the rear sight block was tilted somewhat to the left....oh well.....under $600

 

Took it to the range today:

 

I loaded 10 rounds into a mag and function tested for him.....no problem

 

Let him shoot five rounds....just to get a feel for the light kick....no problem

 

Decided he was ready to shoot:

Pulled the trigger and round fired......then nothing, so I take the rifle and pull back the carrier and eject a unspent round.

He must be limp shouldering it?

 

OK son, try again, but hold it into your shoulder tighter.

Pulled the trigger and round fired......then nothing, so I take the rifle and pull back the carrier and eject a unspent round.

 

So, I try it.....same thing that just happened to him.....over and over and over.....

 

Whats wrong?

I did notice after I got home and tore it down that the spring on the safety side of the trigger was slide way to the inside.....away from the direction of the receiver wall.


 


I just slid it over to the correct position now and hand cycled a dozen rounds through.....


 


Guess I will hit the range tomorrow and focus on that area.


 


With the spring in the position I describe....would that cause the trigger not to reset, but have a round in the chamber ready to go?

I guess the outrage most people felt for the disgusting levels of price gouging CTD did in the wake of newtown has worn off. Me I will never buy from them becuase of it.

 

Cant you return it to Century (for warranty repair) I beleive they are the ones who built them?

10 round polymer and a metal 40

 

I think the spring walking off center on the trigger may have been it

 

Cant get to the range for a few more days.

 

I put the spring back into proper place and hand cycles several loads.

I put the spring back into the improper spot that it traveled to and I got a jam......

 

Hopes its that simple


I hate CTD myself, but for $560 shipped.....I'm ashamed to say I did it.....

Well finally made it back to the range.

 

The hammer spring is indeed walking off the trigger after a few shots. A fresh unfired round is loaded into the barrel, but the trigger doesnt reset, therefore....no boom.

 

I slide the spring back onto the trigger and it fires a few rounds.....

 

 

The trigger itself is nice, so is there an easy fix or should I replace some components?

You should be able to just bend the hammer spring with pliers so that it fits correctly over the legs of the trigger.

Keep in mind that a bend may mean a twist to the end of the wire where it makes the right angle going over the legs to get the right tension.

Thanks, I am going to try that

 

The wire looks shorter than normal though
