Panzer M4 Speed Pro thread

[imalamoud]

what's everyone's experience been with the initial cleaning. I found it challenging disassembling the barrel and trigger group. Reassembling the barrel was a challenge as well.

Does it improve once it's been broken in?

Got M4 Speed Pro recently.

Initial cleaning was fine just remove excessive oil especially from the gas system. It must be dry, tubes and rods.

ATTENTION: Contrary to some videos on the internet one needs to push forward part of the bolt release to remove the trigger pack (after the trigger pin removal, of course).
Otherwise there is risk of some damage to a plastic part of the trigger pack.

After the first range trip gas piston caps became loose. Should I use a bit of blue loctite or just keep tightening them?

Also I noticed that after 80 rounds there is a fair amount of barrel crud (wad plastic?) in the gas system tubes and pistons are not that free floating.
Is the system supposed to run dirty like e.g. self sealing or need to clean gas tubes often?

The gun was quite reliable after some initial hickup which could have been a user error.

What type of shells are you using? There shouldn't be any plastic in the gas system.
