Maple Leaf AST Macaron Airsoft AEG Hopup Rubber Bucking (Type: 80 Degree)

"VERY GOOD. This bucking increased my FPS on all my guns by 30-35 FPS. Very surprised it did that because not a lot of buckings can do that. I got the .60 degree yellow bucking for my AEGs shooting 300fps and lower. This is the little FPS boost you need

"best and cheapest upgrade for any gun out of the box, practically an rhop, this and a 6.03 inner and youll be set. only thing worth noting is if your going to get it, id recomend the 75 degree model, i had misfeeds with anything less on some guns. super weird, but this is one of the single best upgrades you can do and you can compete with the "big boys" as far as range and accuracy goes.

"Works great in my emg retro arms rotary hop up with a 6.03mm barrel easy 250 feet shots

"Works very well. I put a 70 degree hopup on my specna edge for a dmr upgrade, it hops .40s like a dream. Can't recommend enough.

"No complaints about the 60 degree. Works perfectly with a metal v3 hop-up unit. The extra rings give a really good air seal too.

"Updated review:

This bucking did not work in any M14s, Thompson, or Ak platform for me, but it works wonders in an m4 (v2) system. This is one of the best buckings you can get for v2 system, especially if paired with a good nub. I’d highly recommend. 10/10

"I had mixed results. The 60 degree works great, no real complaints but time will tell on durability in a 425 fps gun (w/ .2s) . The 75 degree however did not want to work. Massive drop in fps and toss able range. I stretched it and lubed it and dried and washed it and nothing can make it function. I've had similar issues with the madbull shaekbone and I think the rubber is just too stiff to be functional in an AEG.

This issue happened with a MAXX MI Pro, Angel Custom 6.03 in an ICS MARS II with the correct length air nozzle.

Similarly I think we need to do some clarification of range among airsofters: no piece of rubber is adding 25 to 30 *yards* of range to a gun. Maybe 25 to 30 FEET but as per usual, it's clear people are generally bad at estimating range visually. Decent stock guns (Maruis, ICS, G&G ect) will top out most of the time at about 120 feet. I have dozens and a laser range finder (they're like 50 bucks on Amazon for a golf tournament style) and am certain of this reality. A well upgraded AEG will push 165 to 175 with .28 grams, and that's gona take some finesse. Same done with a flat or rhop wl maybe push to 180 185 feet. Anything past that requires either HPA overturned or levels of upgrades that start to cause problems, i.e. way past most US field limit FPSs, detriment to gun longevity by decreasing time to stripped gears (particularly pinon) ect.

I've been playing airsoft since 1998 and players gross over estimating of range has been the one constant since then: everyone thinks they are shooting 200 300 feet cause google earth told them so. Get a laser range finder and verify.

"Great quality bucking but does not work with a Cyma or Echo1 M14.

It seals really good with the hop up and barrel, but for some reason not with any of the different air nozzles (both stock and upgrade) I have tried resulting in inconsistent hop, accuracy, and loss of fps. I also tried it in my Thompson and it didn't seat well with the air nozzle either and lost 50fps compared to the stock bucking. Then tried it in my Ak Beta to have the same issue.

My guess is this is better suited for the version 2 / M4 system, as none of the other types (v3, v6, v7) I have tried function correctly.

If you have a M14, Thompson, or Ak, you may have the same problems, but if you have an version 2 / M4 system, it should work perfectly as so many others have experienced!

Overall, 9.5/10.

"Very nice hop-up bucking. Works very well with Action Army 6.01mm barrel. Definitely recommend!

"Extremely solid bucking, even better airseal. I replaced an SHS red bucking that came with a metal hopup I bought for this bucking when I upgraded to a Maxx rotary hopup. Works flawlessly, I picked up ~20FPS.

"Don’t get a gg green bucking. Get this. It’s better. In the light blue. Fantastic bucking. I’ve tried dozens and this one is the absolute best one for my builds. Dmr. My dsg. My polarstar F2. . My Kythera. Everything benefits from this one. I’ve tried prommy. R hops. S hops. Gg green. Gg blue. Modify. So many. This is best.

"definitely a improvement over the basic nub style bucking that every gun comes with, would definitely recommend buying 1 for every gun

"great value and reliability

"freaking great bucking! works really well in my VFC hop up that is in my G&G cm16. Thanks to this bucking my fps went from 346 to consistent 370 fps on my mk18 upper for my G&G.

"Using this with a 509mm long, 6.03 barrel in a m249 @400fps w/.2bb @23rps. Holds about a 8in pattern at 150ft, allows 220-230ft max accuracy with a .25 on a torso sized target.

These are pretty cool, the hop up nub isnt a nub. Its a contact patch that is very similiar to an rhop patch. It fills most of the window, is actually flat and elongated and has a curve to it so it centers the round as it comes thru the hop up. Very impressive for the price. I seal these against the barrel with GE1 silicone, light coat all the way around the barrel and it forms a perfect seal against the hop up rubber. And its easy to remove off the barrel if you want to swap parts.

For best seal you want to either put a very slight chamfer on your nozzle, or lightly sand the inside of the lip of the bucking with 600-1000grit paper. Its a little tight for good clearance and can cause feeding issues in very tight units.
