New Gat, normal or problems?

[Kaizen]

So my GAT arrived today. Let me say first of all, the pictures don't do it justice. I have the black->red fade and OMG the annodizing is gorgeous.

Anyways, i open the box, and compared to my previous angel speed, some things seem very different to me and i don't know if it's supposed to be like that. Let me know if this sounds right.

Trigger - while overall it feels very nice, it seems to have a lot of horizontal play, almost like it's loose (compared to my 04 speed trigger). Like instead of just pulling the trigger back, i can sorta push it right and left a little bit. Is that normal?

Battery charger - there's no charger included in the package (my 04 speed had one included) Missing? or normal?

Battery charge time - unless I'm illiterate, it doesn't say anywhere how long to charge the battery, nor does it say if it needs an extra long charge the 1st time (as many batteries do). Please let me know the charge times if you know them.

Breech & Bolt removal - With the breech open, you can see the little slot on the RAM which is what the bolt fits into. When you turn the breech release counter-clockwise, you see the RAM get pushed forward. When you turn it clockwise, the RAM DOES NOT move back, it allows you to push the RAM back manually w/ your finger or a squeegee, but doesn't actually move the RAM back itself. Is that normal? Or do I have to have the gun gassed everytime to open the breech without pushing the bolt back myself w/ my finger/squeegee?

Thanks in advance guys :patriot:

trigger- it could be loose in the frame, but it is a ball bearing trigger so it could be shifting side to side, i dotn have mine with me, otherwise id check mine to se eif it does this.

charger and charge time... the gun uses a 9 volt battery, no charger needed.

and your bolt/breach is normal, the bolt only retracts with air.

should have come with a charger


It doesnt come with a charger it runs on 9 Volts

oops...forgot we were talking Speed version here

there shouldnt be any play in the trigger... and if you would like to open the breech without air in the gun, use a squeegee or take the barrell of and use a finger to push the bolt back and then you can open it

Thanks guys, yeah I just unscrewed the frame from the body and sure enough there are 2 hex screws that keep the trigger "level", eliminating side-to-side play. Just tightened them and now the trigger pull is sweet. :patriot:
