my sk22 came all fine and dandy but the drum has a ringing noise is this on all of the drums or mine alone... an echo from when hit by a stick

Proper tuning will reduce overtones, but you will still have ring. If you really want to deaden it you'll need to do something for tone control. You can use moongel, a small piece of a mouse pad, tape, a wallet or any number of things - there are many commercial products as well as do it yourself ways to make it sound more to your liking. Keep in mind that the ringing sound you get close up is nothing like what the audience might hear 50 feet away, drums are made to resonate - please don't deaden them too much. Look up snare drum tuning for more info, or make friends with an experienced drummer who's willing to help you tune it up. Proper tuning will reduce overtones, but you will still have ring.

there is also a switch on the side that switches the type of sound you get. that might be the problem.

It may need to be tightened, there are screws on the side. Mine was actually missing but it has worked out ok. That is all the advise I can give you and you can walk into a music store to check it out before returning.

Yes. Send it back and ask for a refund... same problem here... sent my bass back. Waited a month still no bass. Asked for a refund... still waiting... get a refund asap

Sounds like a leaky trigger assembly. Call the 800 # in your packaging and they should be able to help you out, they were great with me. Good luck.

If it makes a clacking noise, its because the plastic posts that hold the motor down have cracked. Mine failed and I tore it apart to find out why. Its poorly engineered and won't last more than a year or so through normal daily use. I took a hot glue gun and fixed mine but its poor engineering and design on the manufacturer's part.

I only just picked up this gun the other day and tested it out last night. With only 7 shots through it (sighting it in), it is still fairly loud for a neighborhood, but I am hopeful that it will quiet down soon. I am using the heavier lead pellets.

I had no problem with ours......I read the instructions and did what I supposed to (that's a change for me) Our machine is a Brother 9560 CDW so maybe you have the wrong Drum?

Must be defective, or it sounds like its coming from the chute itself. Have you checked it for nicks? I have not had this problem.

My 1911 is a full size Sig Sauer Spartan edition, and one can hear a scrachy noise that it appears to come from the barrel, when the slide is being pulled back and also when the slide its released from that position. For that reason I decide to stop the use of the compensator. Too bad because on my opinion it looks terrific with it.

Hi, I got this drum f back in December and love it.I think you could paint it ,definetly on the sides ,if you're talking about the head ,just remeber it is synthetic and may peel

mine came in the original box, complete with 1 drum....i would suggest buying new to guarantee that it comes in the original box...

Return it. Mine had the same problem. Its got a crappy hopup bucking that I had to change. This is a beginners airsoft weapon for casual play. Its also way overpriced. I bought the exact same one on amazon for under a hundred bucks. Anything over that and you're getting ripped off. And NEVER USE BBS LIGHTER THAN .20! it will damage your weapon.

I don't recall anything moving in mine. Look through the slots and see what it is. Are you shaking it or just moving it around to hear the sound?

my two 10/22 have this, and they are quiet. now at 500 rds or so, add sub sonic ammo and a oil filter and you'll get a really quiet rifle.;)

i have not noticed this. just be sure all components are properly attached and tightened. i am also not exactly sure what you mean by the term "drum".

Sounds defective :( mine came fully assembled and undamaged. I'd return it if I were you.

Mine did the same thing, I had to keep grinding down the head until is wasn't rubbing anymore. I don't recommend working the action with it rubbing because it can damage your gun.
