AK Guys , I Need A Little Help Please

[2ADMNLOVER]

My Draco is failing to go into battery when shooting suppressed .

It only happens when shooting suppressed and after about every 6-7 rounds this happens .

I have to give the charging handle a shove forward to keep shooting .

Sometimes it will double feed but I'll change mags and it will still happen .

I'm thinking about getting one of these

Springs for AK-47 AK-47 Rifle Rifles & Shotguns

"extra power" recoil springs but I'm not sure that will fix the problem .

What do you guys think will stop it ?

Since it only happens with your can...makes me think a gas system problem?????? Short stroking????

Do you ever have any FTE?

check your bolt carrier and see if you're smacking the rear trunion. There'll be a mark on the trunion or the back of the carrier will look like someone took a hammer to it. If that's what's happening it'll bounce back but look like a trout breaching while trying to swim up stream and not feed itself through the gas tube correctly. If i were to guess, i'd say this is most likely your issue. I'd buy another spring guide and super spring. Paint the end red or something and you'll know that's your suppressor set up.

If you get the chance, film yourself from the side and look at what the bolt is doing in slomo

If it's not overgassed , then i would polish the angles out of the hammer and the carrier so you no longer have 2 trapezoids crashing into each other. I doubt that's your problem though.

No , it throws'em 4-5 lanes over LOL .

I don't run it suppressed much if it's crowded and I warn the folks next to me .

The rear of the Carrier has some marks on it as well as the front of the trunnion but neither of them look beat up by a hammer .

I'm guessing on this gun I've got around 1500 rnds through it so I figured it was normal wear marks .

I don't know if it makes a difference or not but I'm using the TechSights set up , I don't remember if I used the original spring or not .

I've polished the underside of the carrier , the grooves in the carrier , the top side of the rails and the trigger just like in the picture . The action is slick as snot .

Change that recoil spring out with a sturdier one. Sounds to me like its not got the umph needed to send that bolt home on the slightly lower pressure created by a suppressor being on the end of the gun.
