Thanks for the guide!

Thanks!
Good idea, but I just run my bullet belt over top of the box, and then down beside it, between the box and fabric rather than opening the cover. Hides all the battery wires this way too.

Thanks!

I was able to test the hop up today, briefly, before destroying my piston lol. More on that later.
I took apart the hop up unit completely, replaced the bucking with a Madbull blue bucking (My ICS M4 loves these so I have a handful of spares, seems to work well). I also did the dental floss mod to it. Barrel was extremely dirty, and it occurred to me I had never cleaned it, so I did. The reason I mention this is that my BBs were curving down, regardless of how much hop I applied. After taking apart the hop up, I'm really disappointed in how they designed it. The new bucking should help though, but I need to do further testing in warmer weather.

The milling took the longest, where I had to let the unit and my Dremel cool down due to it heating up while using the diamond bit.

How did it turn out?
