Silencer causing misfeeds

    Hey all,

    Got my ACM P90 today which I love, however when I put on the silencer it came with it, it misfeeds. I looked down the barrel with the silencer on and I noticed the silencer was about a 1/4 blocking the barrel. To get it to fire I have to loosen the silencer a small bit and point it slightly upwards.

    Is the any remedy for this problem?

    if some of the material in the silencer is in the way you should be able to unscrew one end of the silencer remove the material and adjust so it does not get in the way

    I'm afraid Pud its that top part that is blocking the barrel not the foam.

    if its the casing of the silencer itself that is blocking the flight of the bb it sounds like a manufacturing fault with the product, the only thing apart from taking it back would be to try and remove the material, long drill bit or dremel normal does the job

    of course it will... might look stupid too...

    The thread apears to be twisted a tad. First, remove the silencer, check the p90 flashhider is screwed in right... the bit with the thread... I think i remember it attaching to the front? if not, nm, silencer... take off the silencer from the part that screws to the gun, rethread, and try again, crossthreading here can change theangle. Re fit, try again. if all else fails, shim the thread with a little teflon tape and add the silencer. it should sit right now if you shim it correctly... ie, the thread is loose if you can tilt it a little, thus making it fit securely means it wont 'droop' and cause bbs to hit the end.
