Sentinel M16 problem

[ray72484]

I received my M16 clone the other day and I have not fired it up since my batteries are not here yet. I was watching a video that showed how you can lock it and unlock by screwing and unscrewing the part by the button. I was fooling around with it to make sure it worked and it did. But now the button sticks out when I have it unlocked. Is that normal.

Yeah, the firing button is (loosely) threaded into the firing pin. Remove the bottom cap, put your nail in the slot in the firing pin, and turn the firing button to your liking.

If you want to stiffen up the threading, apply some teflon tape to the threads of the firing button. If you don't have teflon tape, I heard dental floss works too.

Ok. Thanks I will try this when I get home

When unlocked, the firing button will not be flush, it needs to stick out....just not TOO much.

When locked, it will be flush. The button tends to unscrew itself with use....once or twice per day I just screw mine in a little bit, or you can try one of the fixes mentioned above.
