Reply With QuotePerhaps you have a point. I'll check my trigger out, maybe its not catching right.
Because the SA80 is like this I thought it was the same with most rifles and thats why I didn't question my stealth doing it. Perhaps my stealth just needs sorting??
No airgun I own will release the sear when bounced on the floor ( they all get tested like that after any trigger work ) and if it did I'd sort it out.
I couldn't care less what the SA80 does or doesn't do, I don't shoot one.
It's your gun though, do as you please with it, I've had my say.

Not just your honest opinion Bob, but any soldier who has had the opportunity of shooting a decent rifle. <img src="http://jsramsbottom.co.uk/bbs/e/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="Big Grin" width="15" height="15"><!--graemlin:

Actually the worst piece of kit issused to the British army (according to my grandad) was the Sten- 'They were built in the back yard' so he says <img src="http://jsramsbottom.co.uk/bbs/e/icon_wink.gif" alt="Wink" width="15" height="15"><!--graemlin:
Then he was nearly killed when some dumbass left one loaded against a pill box, when he went to pick it up, the cocking lever dragged on his overcoat, sprung back and let a 9mm round straight out grazing his forehead...makes you wonder.

I could live with the fact that its a crap rifle but what gets my goat is that when it misfires the government blame me for not cleaning it properly <img src="http://jsramsbottom.co.uk/bbs/e/icon_mad.gif" alt="Mad" width="15" height="15"><!--graemlin:-->
I have picked up a spanking clean, newly oiled one and within 5 rounds the thing has jammed. Its also heavier than the slr that it replaced.
To admit this though would cost a hell of a lot of money, the government have spent hundreds of millions developing this rifle and don't want to write it off.
I also know some lads who swear by it though, they think its fantastic. Probably because they don't know any better and haven't fired anything else. <img src="http://jsramsbottom.co.uk/bbs/e/icon_rolleyes.gif" alt="Roll Eyes" width="15" height="15"><!--graemlin:
Icarus - you'd love a Logun S-16 then, plenty of jams, misfeeds and needs a forward assist every round.........and its heavy.

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> Its the same on any rifle I've tried. The SA80 only needs a gentle tap with the butt to send the trigger off [/quote]
I thought thats what they menat by "AUTOMATIC"
Anyway, that problem has been solved by the Government.
They no longer issuse you with any rounds!

I'd been meaning to ask why everyone is selling theirs. I've never picked one up and don't really like the look of it but there are hundreds for sale second hand. I thought they'd sorted the glitches out?

baldie, if you want me to sort out your trigger for you then send me an e mail.
i am in hatfield a fair bit and it only takes 2 shakes of a squirrels tail!
