Well after almost 15000 rounds I finally mannaged to break my FS2000
Turns out an extremely important part crutial to the guns ability to fire is made of plastic......Who knew? Now manny of you may have assumed the plastic trigger group or the plastic hammer may have been the culprate but this is not the case, in fact those parts have been incredibly resilliant. Here is a general overview of the internal workings of the FS2000.
Turns out the way the ejection system works is as the bolt travels rearward a switch on the side of the bolt carrier ( pictured below ) knocks against a pretrusion of plastic on the inside of the stock this pretrusion activates the switch which forces the ejector to open allowing the spent casing to be inserted into the ejection tube. Now it is an ingenious design in the fact that it works perfectly 100% of the time, That is.....Untill that little piece of plastic breaks. In that eventuality the gun will catastrophically fail on the first shot and lock up so bad you need to completly take the gun appart to get the shell casing out. :evil:
So my plan now is to mill out the stock where to piece used to be and replace it with aluminum or steel and hopefully avoid a repeat of the problem.[/u]
