Thanks for the information, Do you use a light oil? I have been purchasing the "AI Lightweight Pure Silicone Oil 1.5wt" from Airsotparts.ca and using that in my madbull adapter. I think I may get another adapter and just put a few drops in every 20 - 25 fills like you mention to avoid the hop up swelling.

As far as installing a new hop up in the gun, would you recommend an aftermarket one? I have read that there is a Falcon hop up that does not swell. If/when I do need to get the gun apart do I need any special allen keys? I believe I read somewhere that the gun requires a uniquely sized allen key to get to the hop up.

Thanks
