The most over-looked part of performance....

What is the most over-looked part of performance?

Buckings: 
 
It's more than a rubber sleeve. It's the range, consistency and a huge amount of your compression in your AEG. When most people do an upgrade on there AEG, 9 times out of 10 they completely overlook this critical component. The bucking is one of the only things that you get what you pay for in Airsoft. More money = better bucking. However, most brands only have a few that they are comparable and compatible with.

I would say 90% of OEM buckings are trash. They leak, they have incorrect pitch, and they sit inside the hop-up loosely. The exceptions are Real Sword, TM and CYMA.

The worst being ICS, KWA (AEGs) and G&P. Once in a while G&G.

Here is a little help on replacement buckings just off the top of my head:

KWA - Lonex, Systema, TM
G&P - Mad Bull, Prometheus, Guarder
King Arms - SHS, Lonex
G&G - Most brands except Mad Bull
Ask me and I can help with your brand/model.

Don't underestimate the performance of a good bucking. It can turn your AEG into a whole new animal.
It does three jobs in your AEG and can deliver solid performance or be a massive headache.
