I personally like the Maple leaf nubs, I use them in most of my AEGs. I use them either alone on a stock bucking that i cut the fin and bump off of or in conjunction with a maple leaf bucking which has the flat bump to match the nub. Air seal on the Maple leaf bucking is also good with the ribs.
thanks as always for posting, I see how to make the flat hop now, however my guns are all rhop complete and I love it. next build I will test it out. still excited to see you all here in Mississippi in January. keep in touch!
I love seeing this video right after starting to tech on my rifle with a prommy Blue
I installed a modified a maple leaf bucking into a flat hop bucking and installed a namazu flat hop nub. Worked great my WE M4 GBBR, but on my WE SCAR-L GBBR, I didn't have enough hop, had to add an F-key as a spacer between the nub and bucking. I know it's a derpy solution, but it worked.
I've really been hoping for this. Thanks!
Great video, I would suggest writing down the names of the parts in the description, kinda hard to know the exact names of stuff
Done and done! Parts list now in description! Thanks for the advice! -Kurtis
I used the prommy blue with an s-hopped barrel and it works great. Think it might work even better with a hard spacer.
The G&G Green bucking is also a good choice for this mod from what I've used.
Just throwing this out as a suggestion G&G green buckings are also good I've never had an issue fitting one into any barrel or hop up and they perform great
The G&G Green buckings are definitely good as well. 8) At the time this was filmed (2014) we had not really carried them and they weren't as popular back then. Thanks for your input!
you guys are awesome..loving the 2 tippmanns i got from you guys. lauched a few videos of what i did to them plus game play. waiting to rag out my helmet but thats out of stock.
Thanks Bro! Glad you love your two tippys! Which color are you looking for? It appears we have everything but digital woodland atm. Looks like I need to get a restock of those. Every other one is in stock though. 8) Here is a direct link for reference: ampedairsoft.com/search.php?search_query=ragnar§ion=product
Let us know! 8)
Thanks!
Kurtis
just flat hopped along with you guys, and must say that it was easier than expected. can't wait to see how it has changed the hop on my gun
Awesome! So glad this helped you out! Let us know! -Kurtis
would this work in a H&K UMP Elite
good stuff! Really helpful info since I am running this exact setup on my Polarstar :)
hey, thank you for this video! helped me alot already.
just one question. you leave a little bit of rubber at one edge of the nub.
where is that for? is it important to point that longer part to beginning or to the end of the barrel? or is this just to have the right length of your nub? thanks alot already!
Hey guys, great video. Just wondering what your second choice would be instead of the Firefly nub? It's just kind of expensive. Thanks
Great video guys! But I have a question, would the configuration of hop up, that you guys are running, work on a katana m4? And how do you tell if a certain hop up can work for a gun?
I saw you guys at ballahack recently! Great work! Keep it up!
Hey guys, informative video and all. I was going to purchase a tippmann. M4 and was wondering if I'm able to flat hop it, also what kind of Barrel would you recommend for it? Thanks!
So most of these items are not in stock anywhere.. what are your direct replacements you would choose for the ones that are not in stock?
I used this Flat Hop Video as a guide for me to upgrade my Ares Amoeba AM-013.
This worked perfectly. The ProWin, Prommy purple bucking and namazu nub fits like a glove. Thanks for the info.
I want to do this exact Flat Hop upgrade on my KWA SR7. The problem is, a lot of parts are proprietary on this AEG. Is it possible to fit a prommy purple bucking with the namazu nub in the excisting hop up chamber of the KWA?
Really appreciate any tips and help!
I just flat hopped my Krytac and the difference is night and day!
Would you recommend flat hopping the Tippman or just getting the Prommy purp bucking and the TDC drop in mod for the Tippman?
Thanks a lot, you guys seem to know your stuff.
I have a snow wolf barrett, and I want to flat hop it. It has an m150 spring and a madbull 6.01, so it's shooting very hot. I haven't chronoed it yet, but the previous owner said it was about 570 fps. I want to buy a PDI 6.05, and a prowin chamber, or a laylax neo strike chamber. Does the hardness of the bucking matter if you're flat hopping it? Should I flat hop a harder bucking for an AEG that's shooting this hot? What bucking would you recommend?
Thanks, great video.
Hey Justin. I was learning how to take out hopup and reinstall it in gun, just so I can learn ya know. I was having feeding and jam issues after the fact. Can the feeding and jam issues be because my spacer was to far forward? Does adjusting really cause stuff like that to happen? I have a polarstar fusion engine by the way. Thanks!
How did you create your intro?
Thumbs up just for the intro animation XD
10/10 video
I used the Promy Blue bucking and can attest it sucks.
No comment.
Yet he did't comment on mine.
Yeah prommy blue hop bucking hasn't done too well for us. The prommy purple is infinitely better than the blue from our experience. -Kurtis
Even the red Prometheus Air Seal Hop-Up Hard Type very very bad, i had problem today the gun it doesn't shot (the gearbox sound) looks like using died battery the won't go out the barely can't reach 5 meter..
I don't understand, when u flat hop does the bb float up then gradually fall or does it fly straight further compared to stock?
Great Video
So if we have only a tight bore barrel we need to cut the ridges then put the bucking on inside out?
So I have two questions on the flat hop nub do you have to cut one side completely and leave one with a little bit material and for the bucking do you completely trim off the guide in that little nub that's on there
Hey amped. Could you please tell me if a flat hop will work with a miracle barrel?
Quick Question, So on a normal barrel besides the orga, you install the bucking inside out even after you shave off all the nub thingies in it? essentially making the bucking completely flat right? Is this done on all buckings besides the Prommy Purple? say if i use a mapleleaf or even the firefly buckings?
have you guys tried out the Orga v shape hop up nub? if so, how did it perform?
Can you leave nubs uncut? Or does it depend on barrel window size, just for clarification.
Hi guys.
I have the Firefly bucking. Do I also need to remove the fins and ridge from the inside? Do I do this in the same way as my Promy?
Are you guys still going with the flathop these days and still think it's the way to go? What do you think about the barrels that come with one already installed?
Hi ! again my bucking got problem with the bb can go through it without stoping unless you push down the nut to hold it , if not the bb will come out from the barrel just like that , so I wonder why ?
Do Pro Win hopup units like you're using here fit/work inside a G&G top tech?
hi amped, i took your advise and use the purple soft bucking Prometheus with the prowin house and the fire fly nub, i have serious feed jam where the bb pull the lip up and in itself and jams the bb stuck!
both my dmr and cqb does this!
Sacred Sweden Airsoft did you find a fix?
any tips on how to do this with a G&P M14? they have weird hop-ups, and i can't dig up anything on them.
should i go with the wide bore if im going to put a protech in my gun and want to do this?
Hi... great tutorial but I have question, from where i can get this little thing "firefly..."?? ... thx for answer. :)
For a tippmann m4 with a tdc mod would I need a different nub or could I just cut down my bucking?
just found this video & channel subbed and hit the gong. After this video when I go to your channel you better still make vids
We appreciate it! We will be making more videos. We have been unable to to with COVID going on.
are the rotary type and sidewheel type of hop unit interchangeable?
will the rotary type fit a g3?
Do you have to trim the namazu nub on an ak type hop unit and can you use the g&g green bucking?
So would you recommend getting the Orga over a normal 6.03 tightbore? The extra work for the tighbore isnt that hard but would the price of an Orga be worth it over a Madbull 6.03?
This is a GREAT tutorial!
I'm fairly new to Airsoft (My kids got me into it). I've been playing around and learning the in's and outs of gearboxes....
I have an Umarex G36C.... I see you guys sell those. What's your experience doing a flat hop on them? I really want to turn it into a DMR.... Semi-only mod, 18" barrel.... Do the Umarex G36's take a specail hop? I see you have the prowin in M4 and AK.... The AK should also be a V.3 gearbox... is it interchangeable by any chance?
Thanks for your feedback and welcome to the sport!
You can definitely install a flat hop into the G36. It utilizes a standard nub to our knowledge. When it comes to hop units for the G36, there aren't a ton out there. Prowin does make one, but I'm not 100% sure if it's compatible with the Umarex G36. For all intents and purposes it should be though. The gearbox internals are interchangeable with V3 type parts for the most part. Hope this helps!
hey so i have a kwa km4 ris would it work well in it? and do i need to get anything else with it or does it come with everything?
As far as the nub direction does the longer side go toward the end of the barrel side or does it go facing the stock of the gun? Or does it even matter?
Hi, Great video! I am looking to upgrade the Hop-Up in my Umarex Elite Force ( vfc ) hk416 a5 w/avalon gearbox. are these parts compatible ??
To which side does the little lip you left on the nub face, toward the arm or away?
Are the Prometheus nubs wider than the firefly? Are they still thin enough to fit in a prowin?
How do you know how to position the inner barrel in the Chamber?
Will the prowin work in my lvoa-s? Iv heard they don't fit in krytacs? I wanted to do this exact set up.
Check out the maxx model hop up. Im curious to see what you guys think
We love it so far. Typically we have them in stock. More are on the way currently.
do I need a roller bar for the prometheus nub?
If I use this setup with the Prometheus bucking will I have feeding issues for my f1 due to the lips?
Hi, I am looking for my hop up chamber, and saw a hole in the upperside of it. Can I to close it? Can It maybe do a leak? It is an gray hop up unit G&G used in M4. Thanks!
can you list all the products used in the video a link would be great thanks!
I got a question, why is it required t shave off the bottom to the rubber bucking? sorry if I seem to be a newb with this stuff but I recently just got into teching
when i turn the purple bucking inside out and shave off rubber do turn the bucking back right side out before installing on the barrel or do i install the bucking while it is inside out????
I like the video, but completely disagree with the first statement. If you actually know how to correctly tune an rhop, they vastly outperform a normal flathop.
On that note, as a tech myself, I almost always refer customers to flathop instead of rhop because it takes much less time, is easier to tune/install and still does perform nicely.
Agreed, although offer R hop installs rather than recommend flat hop
Legacy Airsoft do you do xr hopping?
Quick question - I'm having issues with three different flat hop setups, all are hooking badly to the left after 40 ft. When used through an aeg they shoot fine. any ideas on how I can fix this for my HPA setups? I use a Wolverene Inferno
barrels: madbull black python 2x 363mm , 300mm
buckings: 2x madbull red , lonex
nub: namazu
units: 2x prowin, g&g
Can you use any orga barrel so you don’t have to shave the bucking?
Does is matter what hop up you get? I want to turn my AEG to HPA what hop up should I use.(Its a lancer tactical gun)
What size bore do you guys recommend for the orga barrel
Im purchasing a P* cm16 mod0 from you guys, would it be possible for you to install a prommy prowin, flathop and new bucking
Greetings Amped Airsoft... My question to you - What is the retail cost of the items you used in this video?? i am looking to add a bit more performance, and this seems ideal...
what is the point of shaving off the alignment ridge? i assume you turn the bucking back to its correct side after shaving off the bucking nub. do shaving off the ridge do anything?
R-hop takes you three hours?
It takes me about 5 minutes...
TheAirsoftTech well aren't you special!!! jk jk love your channel helps me out a lot
+TheAirsoftTech How much does it cost you?
+boom_man56 I charge $25 per r-hop
+Minder Maniac Thanks!
TheAirsoftTech How much better does it make the gun? doesnt it increase the range?
how long with this last compared to general oem stuff and Rhop fancy stuff
can i flat hop a miracle barrel 6.06 mm with a purple prommy soft??? and would that be a good setup???
Will Promy purple + Promy Flat hop nub fit to AK chamber? With Madbull black python v.2 or Madbull steel both 6.03 as well?
What about the modify flat bucking with the flat nub?
Do you keep it inside out once the little knob has gone
Are they the same installation as a regular hop?
With a 363mm 6.02 tightbore barrel flathopped with a prowin and prommy bucking (using the namazu nub) at 400 fps with .3s perfect compression ect any estimates on range? Any reply is greatly appreciated!
After it is flat hopped is the Nub supposed to be uneven on both sides? if so, does anyone have some close up pictures so I can get a better look so I can flat-hop it correctly
are the modify ryoski hopup nub and bucking good?
Quick one, but once you remove the insides of the bucking what's stopping the air from leaving out the thin channel on the barrel?
Tia
leonard hawken Good question - the answer is typically nothing is stopping it. On my barrels I typically just put a dab of super-glue in the channel, and then use the floss tying mod to secure the bucking if it doesn't fit tight in the hop up chamber.
Hey amped airsoft I was wondering what the rest of that reply you sent me about my question it started with "we "
And cut off. Some reason I couldn't scroll down to see the rest of the reply
is the modify flat hop bucking good
would this flat hop be suitable for a jack polorstar hpa m4
I have a modify flat hop and nub have you guys tried that out?
I just got prommy flat hop.but it doesnt include roller bar.what am i gonna do?
Does this increase the range of an aeg significantly?
So I watched this video a few times used a prommy purple bucking and pro win chamber. Even the prommy 6.03 tight bore barrel. To flat hop it only piece I am missing is the metal part that set in the flat hop nub.
Thank you for your feedback! If you are looking for that bar, we do have them available here:
ampedairsoft.com/orga-hop-up-nub-bar/
Hope this helps!
Thanks,
Kurtis
I made one the prommy nub is to soft so I made a piece of metal to fill the void it the prommy nub.
list of all the parts would be nice
Modify flat hop bucking
Numazu fire fly
Any barrel
Prowin hop up chamber
in description.
How about the Modify flat bucking ? the hard one...
Hmmmm I my bucking don have the range inside so I don have to trim it off . MB is the new version or something ??
Does someone has a link to where can I buy the firefly nub
can the prowin hop up chamber fit in a tm hk 416.?
Does anyone know if the ORGA nub will fit in the ProWin unit without modification? Thanks!
Thank you for the video..btw whart type buffer rubber namazu firefly do you use.? Hard or super hard? Thx's before.
We use the Namazu Red, which is the Hard variant. This helps with heavier weight BBs.
how do you flat hop a krytac? The hop up arm doesn't fit them and I heard Prowin hop up chambers don't work in krytac
can you not mod the bucking with a tightbore angel custom barrel?
Would the process be the same on a G36 hopup?
It doesnt fit in my ares amoeba am 014, do you know a hop up house that will?
