Tiberius 8 Problem

[FantasticDamage]

Here is what I sent Tiberius...

Hi,
I just recently recieved a T8 and had it break a ball on me. I took it apart cleaned and oiled it then reassembled. I loaded in a magazine and started to fire. After the first shot the gun vibrated heavily. It also sounded like a cheap BB gun does after you shoot it. I can tell it was a spring that was making the noise (it was kind of like a "Boing!" sound) So before I had a chance to disassemble I shot a few more rounds only to have my trigger stop returning. I knew it had to be the trigger return. I dissassembled saw that the spring was loose and that the push pin (# 13 I think) was slightly bent and opened up a bit. I tried installing the pin back into the metal piece that trips the sear but it was too big. I applied plyers to it to close it up and then had to forcefully tap it into place. I then installed the return spring, and then the trigger. Screwed on the plate cover and reassembled. I went to go shoot and it shoots fine, however Im still get a major amount of vibration and the Boing sound. This vibration lasts around 5-10 seconds after the initial shot.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Any T8 owners know of any solutions?

You definetly did the right move by contacting them.
With a new system like this and the fact you just recieved it, my first solution w/this problem would be to immediatly contact the manufacturer and have them fix this problem.
There is no reason whatsoever that you should have to live w/ or jimmy rig your piece to work after the price you paid.
If they are going to get thier gear to be trusted they have to stand behind it.

On a side note, alot of my team have been getting thease, one of the guys had a Mag that would not seat properly and leaked He called them right away and got a new one.

So it seems some of "bugs" in this system are starting to come out.

That's pretty much the case with all new systems and products... It always takes a while to work the bugs out of the product...

There are tons of things that can go wrong with mass production and sometimes things like this happen. I'm sure that if you contact them they'll fix the problem.

Yeah I trust them. The T8's are very good pieces of machinery. The quality shows...upon purchasing the T8 I knew Id encounter some problems. This isnt a major problem and I know it will be fixed. Im thinking about taking it apart again and looking over any springs that may cause the vibration. Ill post their response as soon as I recieve one too.

Thanks!

UPDATE!

Well after messing around with it...I think I concluded it was the barrel spring. I guess for some reason the spring wasnt seated right or something. No more vibrations or annoying noises.

This gun is so good it fixes itself....haha

Gotta love it

Well, if you don't want it, you can give it to me. I'll take it off your hands baby.

Alright here is their reply, straight from Tyler Tiberius himself:

Brad do you need a job. That was an amazing display of tech skill.

First I apologize that you had any problems. We test every gun twice before shipping anything out the door because we don’t want you to have any problems with our gun. If you want to send the gun in we will gladly replace it with one that has none of these issues. I think the sound is because there is no shock absorber behind the bolt so it makes a noise on the return. But with all the problems that you just mentioned I would like to get you a new gun so you can see the kind of real quality that we produce. But if you would rather that I send you parts we can do that too

To Hell with NC State Im working for Tiberius!!! haha

[a5chica]

do it.
