hey all, my gun is failing on me before my eyes. first of all, my gun is shooting 270 with a m120 and bushings. my hop-up will no longer stay. wut happens is, ill shoot about 5 bbs after setting the hop perfectly 2 my liking, and then it will double-feed once, then the hop-up stops and the bbs fall like a rock. i checked the hop-up, it doesnt move while shooting. any suggestions or ideas? im thinking of buying another hop-up unit.... can anybody open up my gun and see wuts wrong? thanx.

Take out the hop up unit. Find some 18 gauge or 20 gauge rubber tubing. Take apart your hop up unit. Find the rubber piece. There is a square or rectangle that allows the rubber piece to push through the barrel. Cut a length of 18 or 20 gauge tubing just a bit smaller than the length of the rectangle in the barrel. Place that cut rubber tubing on the rubber piece and make sure that it stays in place. Now put the hop up together and enjoy. Also take apart your gearbox and rub your cylinder down with a nice damp, clean cloth. Make sure the timing is right and put it together and rechrono your gun.
