Also figured out how to run the wires for a front battery, so ill be using the collapseable stock on it soon

HOORAY!!!!!! 

[Villid]

my onyl concern is that the inner barrel is not as long as the suppressor.  gonna test fire today and see if theres any issues with bbs making contact after leaving the inner barrel

[Dominum]

They won't, the only time BBs make contact with suppressors or outer barrels that extend past them is if something is wrong, i.e. the suppressor is crooked, the inner barrel is crooked/bent, or your hopup is turned WAY up. Since none of these are the case, you will be fine. Now just convert the suppressor to a functioning one and amaze your enemies downrange with your awesome silence .

[Villid]

finally test fired it today.  you are right, no contact with the suppressor, but the accuracy is rather poor.  cleaned the barrel and it improved somewhat.  Would using the silicone lube on the hopup help with that at all, or would replacing it be a  better option?

She might not fire the best but she sure is sexy!

Best to start cheap and easy.  Systema bucking(soft) + SCS/Polar Star concave nub + longer TBB (All for around $50 shipped from ASGI).  I'd see how that goes, then worry about replacing the hopup if you're still not happy.

[The only time any form of lube should touch the hopup is when cleaning it, and then it should be dried, see #7 above. If you put silicon oil or any other form of lube on your hopup bucking it will not work. Remember, hopup is nothing more than the measured application of friction to the top of a BB, if you lube it, it will no longer apply that friction and will thus not function at all.]

dom, you are a wellsppring of information i wasnt even aware i needed til i read it.  I did the newbie TBB thing with my g36, and while i fell for the alleged accuracy gains of it alone, ive been happy with it.  A new bucking and nub were already planned for, been checking them out lately.  My question is, what is the difference between the 45, 55, and 65% buckings?  ive seen that 65% are hard type, are the others both soft?

I always clean my barrels, but ive never cleaned them with the silicon oil.  usually do it dry.  definitely gonna try that. and i found some gun cleaning cloths that were precut to 1inch squares, worked better than paper towels, and gives a good tight seal.

I just don't want people to waiste the kind of money I did when I was a noob.] I did the newbie TBB thing with my g36, and while i fell for the alleged accuracy gains of it alone, ive been happy with it. [It's not a total waiste of money, but it isn't needed. I'm not saying people shouldn't buy them.] A new bucking and nub were already planned for, been checking them out lately.  My question is, what is the difference between the 45, 55, and 65% buckings?  ive seen that 65% are hard type, are the others both soft? [They are soft and medium, respectively. What FPS is your gun and what weight BBs do you use?]

[That works fine, basically any disposable similar material that will not leave many fibers behind. Don't use toilet paper or kleenex, because they do.]

i dont know my fps, just changed to newer stock JG spring so im thinking approx 380.  gonna find out this weekend.  I currently shoot 20s, but have been testing out .25s

Would 380 require the medium bucking, or would the soft still be appropriate?  looking at AGI its seems the soft types dont come with a new nub.

[Dominum]

If you are going to use .20s, go with the soft. If you are going to use .25s, go with the medium. That is assuming it is around 380. Bear in mind that either one will work, it's just a matter of optimum functionality, you can use either and it will still work well, but if you use .25s with the soft you may have to turn it all the way up, or close to it.

[Villid]

well i chronoed between 345 and 350 yesterday, so im thinking i should go soft with either weight?  and with the softs, ive only seen them sold with just the bucking, instead of a bucking and nub set.

was just looking around and found these http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?products_id=4177  would they be approprate for my application?

[Dominum]

Those should work fine, though I am partial to firefly, TM, and Systema buckings.
