Update: Ok so I made a video of what was happening (and I was working on it last night without the cylinder or piston in), but it is very blurry and frankly, I am having a hell of a time trying to get it off of my phone.
However with that said, from what I saw, I will try to explain; The trigger is pushing the sled as per normal, but there is a very loud and distinct click noise from it every time is passes roughly the 60-70% mark on the pull. Note that I also tried 3 different sleds out (1 modify, 1 VFC and 1 SHS) to see if they made a difference, which they did not. The gears are spinning freely with no issues, but there are 3 issues that seem to arise.
1) the trigger locks up (common problem from what I have read for V2 gearboxes, so I am not sure this is a main problem). I am assuming the gears are just stopping in a bad position on the cutoff lever (which is when you swap to full auto, clear it then swap back).
2) The trigger sled sometimes locks forward (but it still wont fire or connect the circuit). For example, the semi works (albeit the clicking is a very rough pull on the trigger), but after quickening the pace between shots, the sled will sit forward and the cutoff lever will not engage it and the sled spring is not pulling it back. It must be getting caught on something which seems very odd. I double checked the cutoff lever to ensure that it wasn't damaged at all, but it seems perfectly fine.
3) even on semi (I used a small screw driver to hold the selector plate in place so it did not move to safe or full auto), it sometimes fires full auto and the cutoff lever wont engage. The sled either is returned on the trigger release (and the connection is broken), or it gets stuck and I had to use a screw driver to release the sled.
Any ideas? It really sounds like a sled/cutoff lever issue, but as I have never come across an issue like this before as it does not seem like a normal one, my ideas to fix are slowly running out.
