Hop Up Question

[DSFD506]

Bought a G&P one piece hop and was wondering if i need to use the brass collar that came with the sleeve ? thanks

You should definitly use the brass collar that came with it as it helps stabalize the hop up to the barrel.

Thought I read somewhere that it was only used with the systema barrels ? Does it go into the hop up too ? My first time dealing with hop ups.

I have a metal G&P hopup for my AUG, and the brass barrel doesn't fit on the barrel with the metal hopup, so I just left it off. No ill effects for me.

Sounds good...i'll give it a try tomorrow after i install it

It doesn't hurt, that's for sure, so if it fits go for it. If it won't go in (some are a tight fit, depends on the diameter of the outside of the inner barrel) then don't sweat it too much.

i thought they were sposed to be a tight fit. also thought they were to help the airseal. i have them on all my guns hop ups and ive never seen a hop unit that didnt come with one

They keep the barrel in line which helps a bit with air seal and accuracy. I was missing the one on my ICS M4A1 and didn't notice for a very long time (until I took it out to swap for a tightbore) so it's not essential.

I'll fool around with it in a little bit and see what's the best outcome...Thanks for all the help guys. Is there anything I should know when it comes to putting it together...as far as assembly goes ?

Just make sure all the parts go in the right places

pmd you a video i made for hop-up installation. Hope it helps!

[DSFD506]

Thanks guys. Got the hop up installed but now i'm running into a problem with the bb's not feeding right at first but after several rounds it works fine. Any idea what would be causing this ?

[Ktown Militia]

have you done any gearbox upgrades? might be the mags. If you know anybody with working mags, test them in your AEG.

[Styrak]

Could be the mags. You could also try putting some silicone oil in the hopup, put a drop or two into the feed tube with the gun upside down, then dry fire a few times, followed by testing with bb's.

[DSFD506]

Yeah everything is working fine. I just went from the TM style hop up to a 1 piece hop up. a round will come out every other shot at first then after a few rounds it works perfect. I've tried 2 different mags and does it with both.
