Ed, how did you get it to fit, and would it work for an M4 style hop unit?

Well, before I put it in my L85 I had it in my G&P M16 for a bit whilst I was waiting for my L85 to get back from the shop and it just worked right off the bat.

Standard AEG hop rubbers have a groove along the bottom inside edge though and the female groove in the barrel is a lot shorter, so it doesn't mesh 100% with hop rubbers, but they do work.

It also doesn't mesh with the lugs that hook into the grooves on the side of the barrel to hold it in place, so you can either leave the retention bit out, as it doesn't really help much, or you can just put it back in anyway, though it won't fit properly. I held the barrel in place by wrapping tape around the outside of it to create a friction seal between the inner and outer barrels. Once it was in there it worked fine, really made a properly noticeable difference as well.

One more thing though, the outside diameter of the barrel is wider than the stock barrel, meaning it's quite a tight fit in the hop unit, I had to use the stock rubber as the madbull one is slightly thicker and wouldn't squeeze in.

As for making it fit in my L85, I just cut the madbull hop rubber in half so that the groove along the bottom inside edge did mesh properly with the barrel, then removed the standard L85 retention piece and then did the same as in the M16 to hold it in place, just wrapped tape around the barrel until it fit very tightly into the outer barrel.

Works a dream. Hop is barely on at all and the gun shoots at least 45m before there's even a hint of pellet drop.

I may get one for my M16 then. What weight BBs do you use?

 

[Airsoft-Ed]

I tried it with .20s and .25s and got better range out of the .25s, which amazed me no end, as the gun only shoots at 315 with .20s. It must've been about 260 with .25s which is woefully poor for a full length rifle in my opinion, but it was hitting things at around 40 metres no problem.

FPS isn't everything

 

[Airsoft-Ed]

I know, but there's a point where the fps can be too low for hop up to really help anymore and I thought 250ish would be roughly around that mark.

 

[M_P]

Well, nice to know it worked out for you in the end

 

[Liam Porter]

Another thing to add to my to-buy list.. it's getting expensively long at the moment.

Today I'm happy because people posted here so I can post about being happy about these things:

1. Skyrim

2. I put together a nine week fitness program which'll bring me up to being able to run 5k/for thirty minutes solid, do 200 sit-ups, 100 press-ups, 150 dips and 200 squats, then I've got four weeks where I'm going to work on my running speed and then I'm ready to apply for the RAF, the application process will give me a further six weeks before physical to start working on some of the other things they make you do during training.

3. The snow has gone!

4. I got several awesome ideas for my modular loadout!

5. Just life in general is A-okay at the moment

 

[Cam-the-airsoft-sniper]

2) Trolling people

3) My AK-47S is the sex!

 

[Airsoft-Ed]

100 press ups? I've tried a program for that, it's impossible. Unless you don't mean all in one, like, 5 minute sitting?
