Cyma M14 outer barrel bracket nub sheered off

[Khost778]

I have a Cyma M14 I got awhile ago. It was having a feed issue where it would spit 1 bb out about 10-20ft, the spit out 2 bbs maybe 5ft at best. I took it apart and the bracket that holds the outer barrel has the little nub that locks the barrel is sheered off. Any idea where to get a new one or how to repair this one?

Drill and tap that spot and run a set screw in the spot to hold it in place

Either that or JB weld the nub back in.

Ill try those out and see what works. Thanks guyss.

You could also drill a small hole in the nub and into the piece of metal then glue or epoxy a pin between the two pieces as a support.

Yeah, when kjones734 suggesting drilling and tapping, I considered that too, but the nub is so small, it would be a pain to drill it. Ill try to JB weld/epoxy it, and if that doesn't work, ill just have to drill, tap, and replace with a screw I guess.

It's been a little while since I sold my CYMA M14 and I couldn't remember how small or big that particular part was in my head;) I will say though that was spot on advice putting a screw in there, I thought that as I read it, but I figured if it was big enough this would be another alternative as well.

Either way I think a screw likely will be more solid than the stock pot metal. I've done that type of fix countless times on guns over the years in all sorts of places and I don't recall repeated failures.
