Elby Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 (edited) Most of them do that after a while, normally a bit of carbon. You can't pull them apart, what you can do is block the small hole and fill it full of petrol. Leave it as long as poss, give it a good shake, then empty it and for ****s sake don't fire it until all the petrol has evaporated.

Devon Fox Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 Mine has the rattle - pretty standard with a t8. Get a mod cover if it bugs you too much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZ550Kevlar Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 I flush mine with either petrol which leaves an oily layer or use carb cleaner then drop into WD40 which you can buy in 5ltr containers, drain then it is fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevethevanman Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 I had a T8 on my .243 for a while, but then ditched it and went to an ASE Utra Jet-Z..havent looked back, its much lighter, and is built with much thicker stuff :unsure: Ive also got an A-Tec on my .308, I would say the T8 is ok to start, but I really wouldnt buy one again, try and get a Jet-Z or similar The neoprene covers should kill the rattle a little bit on the move, other than that dont worry about it, when the moderator starts to die you should notice as your zero suffers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPV4 Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 I had this with mine, it was a build up of carbon after spraying WD40 inside after use. If you lightly shake the mod (turn it upside down and then the other way up) and also turn it you will find that all the fine carbon deposits drop out and then there is no more rattling :unsure: Works for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
