    Emag Battery pack wobble :(

    Hey guys I just got an emag. When i took it out of the box I noticed there was a slight amount of side to side battery wobble. It isn't much but it's enough to annoy the heck out of me lol. Is there any way to fix this? Have you heard of this happening? It almost seems as if the rail on the frame is a little bit to small for the battery pack .


    * by left to right wobble I mean left to right while the gun is perpendicular to your body.

    Thanks!

    My battery pack did something similar because I did not have the Emag battery O-ring at the bottom of the battery in the pack. It actually disconnected and my electro would turn off and it would wobble a little bit.

    It is probably not that,,, but you could check

      Had the same wobble sound with my Emag.

      Just open up the battery case and use an old ASA tank o-ring to serve as a cushion between the battery pack and the bottom cover.

          hmm. Mine has a little wobble too. Maybe I should try that. I just figured it was normal.

            to secure it even further, toss an o ring underneath the thumbscrew that mounts the pack and tighten it up.

            It will be much tighter and solid.

              Yes all E/X-mags have this wobble, basically necessitating a tight thumb screw fit to alleviate the issue. Olinar's recommendation is spot on!

                Also, try putting a couple small strips of Black Electrical tape around the outside of the block where the battery slides onto, will cut your side-to-side wobble entirely.
