Mokei Paddock CAT AEG Mechanical Variable Pre-Cocking Setting/Adjustment

Mokei Paddock explain in the video what this new product is all about... "We have developed an independent mechanical variable pre-cocking mechanism! This mechanism provides the emotional trigger feeling that only a mechanical trigger can offer, without the need for electronic control. Previously, the only non-electronically controlled pre-cocking electric gun was Tokyo Marui's "PSG-1". However, it lacked fine adjustment of timing, making it somewhat difficult to use.

But now, the MAP sector gear installed in the CAT electric gun has a double structure like a planetary gear compared to a normal sector gear. The cut-off cam part that determines the timing of energization is separately structured, allowing for fine adjustment. This enables mechanical pre-cocking firing without using any electronic control!

Here's how to set it up:

  1. Remove the magazine and battery.
  2. Release the pre-cock by using a tool to push the piston release lever at the base of the grip. Be careful as any bullets left in the chamber will be fired at this time!
  3. Push the takedown pin using a tool. If it's hard, use a pin punch and a rubber mallet. Be careful not to hit too hard as the pin will not come off completely.
  4. Press the charging handle slightly to release the takedown lock and perform a takedown.
  5. Adjust the pre-cocking using a tool on the MAP sector gear.
  6. Move the sector gear to an adjustable position.
  7. The MAP sector gear has an internal latch structure, and you can adjust pre-cocking by shifting the latch and changing the position of the cut-off cam.
  8. Hook your tool into the hole and push in the direction of the spring to release the latch and make adjustments. Do not push in the axial direction.
  9. The MAP sector gear has numerical memory for adjustment. The standard at shipment is 8, but it may vary slightly depending on individual tone width which is 6.5 to 8.5.
  10. Lowering the value (counterclockwise) will strengthen pre-cocking.
  11. Pre-cocking will be stronger if it is closer to 7, but be aware that depending on your battery, this setting may overrun.
  12. Also, if you lower it too much, semi-lock is likely to occur.
  13. Turn the large tooth of the sector gear downward and then close the upper receiver.
  14. Be aware that certain strengths may affect bullet feeding and trajectory.
  15. If you are not able to shoot well, please make fine adjustments.
  16. If pre-cocking is too strong, semi-auto will enter a burst state.

Please note that these instructions are intended for users who are familiar with handling such equipment and should be followed carefully to avoid any damage or mishaps."
