Airsoft Canada - View Single Post - TM AUG keeps shredding its hop-up rubber

My friend bought a TM AUG off these forums awhile ago and it keeps shredding the hop-up rubber.

Is this an issue anyone has had before? The stock one shredded once and I replaced it with a stiffer one and that only lasted about 500 rounds before it tore in half (if you look down the back of the barrel, you see the lip is torn and half of it is just the bare metal from the barrel).

I am certain that I reassembled the unit correctly. The barrel is a 6.03 prometheus tightbore and the rubber was aligned correctly. The other issue is that the firing trigger is very sensitive. With the AUG, there is no fire select so it is just a half-pull for semi and full pull for full-auto but I noticed that the gearbox still has a cutoff lever in it. I think that might be worn down as well since the gun burst fires often. Could burst firing also be a cause of jammed bbs/torn hop-up rubber in the barrel?

The gearbox has been upgraded with bearing spring guide, m130 spring, and runs off an 11.1v 2800mah LIPO battery. I need to purchase a new rubber anyway, what would you recommend for this setup?
