I was thinking the metal one would be more solid but is there much in it between the metal and plastic versions?

With regard to the bucking, I may be asking a stupid question, but does the hop rubber you recommended come with a nub or would that be separate?

Oh, no. You'll need this: https://www.ak2m4.co.uk/maple-leaf-nub?search=maple leaf nub

Either the plastic and metal chambers will be fine. But, they don't come with nubs. I guess you still have your G&G one. However, it's not nearly as good at this maple leaf nub :)  

 
Thanks for the info. I think I'll got for the plastic hop up unit and the bucking and nub you recommended as well. Need to get my raider shooting a bit more consistently.

 
I agree with that combination of parts, but the G&G raiders are pretty decent out of the box. Have you tried cleaning your rubber and barrel and reseating everything?

 
As best I can with my limited experience yes lol. Problem is the BBs are going all over the place so it's difficult to dial in my ACOG.

 
Frustrating, isn't it?  Well, putting together a complete new hop + rubber + barrel makes sense, as you can swap it in and out in a couple of minutes.  Just keep the old unit to hand in case the new one needs some further fettling.

 
TBH it's a fairly easy upgrade that as long as I'm careful can't go too wrong. I know G&G are meant to be pretty good as stock but I don't mind spending a bit of money and time to see if I can get it better. Don't believe in binning old stuff that still works as you never know when you'll need it lol. Maybe there should be a TV program about Airsoft hoarders lol 

 
Im happy with the hand grip at the moment but am going to look at changing the hand guard from mlok to ris.

thats another thing i was supposed to ask. your rail still stock then? thats something id be interested in changing myself. i presume its and easy change as ive had the rail off before

 
I presume it is a straightforward swap. Was going to look into it further when I do the internals. Also want to swap the arp9 stock for a standard crane stock to be able to use bigger batteries.

I already have a few foregrips etc to fit to a normal rail and mlok accessories seem to be harder to get such as torches lasers etc. I know you can get adapters but it seems easier to replace the handguard.

Fair but mlok parts are fairly easy to get now and the handguards are lighter and the attachment system is stronger. Each to their own though.
