New Gunfighter making creaking and clunking noises
Posted: Tue Nov 17, 2020 14:24
My new gunfighter (arrived yesterday) is making creaking and clunking noises.
It does this moving in both axis but I think might be worse left-right.
Mostly, but not always, I get it near the movement extremities and if making a fast movement.
The exact spec is: Gunfighter with MCG Pro and 200mm extension, The top has been removed as it's mounted to the underside of a VKB UCM Stronghold.
It made the noise out of the box. I've replaced the springs to be 50+20s and this has not affected the noise, so I don't think it's to do with the springs.
Edit: I also get the noise if I hold the bottom of the extension, so I think it's something in the base rather than the grip.
I assume this noise is not normal so is anyone able to advise on what it is likely to be/how to stop it?
Thanks!
Edit 2: Actually, I think i get it mostly when I cross the centre of an axis, particularly if the other axis is near maximum deflection. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to happen in a consistent spot and only happens with movement so I'm struggling to pin down the exact cause.
It somewhat sounds like something is deflecting/pressure is is being released but with a creaking noise. It may just be normal cam noise - are they usually noisy?
